I guess I can share a little more about meā¦.
It took me until my 40ās ā YES 40ās ā to find things that fill my cup outside of pouring into my marriage, kids & career. Donāt get me wrong, I LOVED solely pouring into them⦠but it left me feeling a little empty.
Life is so go, go, go with younger kids. Sports, activities ā itās easy to feel like you donāt even have the energy for more. But I finally asked myself⦠what do I like?? Honestly, I had no idea.
So I started reading. YES, reading. Anyone who knows me knows my claim to fame was graduating high school without reading ONE full assigned book š (and no, we didnāt have ChatGPT back then ā stop judging š).
Then a friend brought books on a cruise I took in July, I read the whole thing, and I was SHOCKED. The snowball just kept rolling. Now, 5.5 months later, Iāve read over 21 books!
Then I started Pilates⦠yes, Pilates. I was nervous as heck. I played basketball and soccer in high school and have NEVER been flexible ā still canāt touch my toes, but itās a goal! Pilates isnāt just physical, though itās a mental clear-out. So different from HIIT, which my body honestly hated as I got older. Pilates feels peaceful, grounding, and Iām discovering muscles I didnāt even know I had.
While back in Sumner, I stopped by and WOW ā how cute and beautiful is their studio?! The owner was so sweet to let me capture these š¤ if in Sumner or Bonney Lake please check them out!
