Greetings Barre Bae!

 

I hope your month is off to a positive start. March always marks the transition out of the winter season and gives me a little boost of creativity and energy. Maybe it's the extra hours of daylight! I hope you discover some spring pep in your step and inspiration as our days grow longer.

 

This week we're officially using the Arketa booking system, playing a fun game of FBW Spring Bingo, starting a “Weekly Wondering,” celebrating International Women's Day, and getting a sweet discount on Bala products!

As I attempt to evolve and refine my wellness practices, I always return to journaling. It was something I did consistently in high school, college, and as a young adulthood. I fell off after having kids and losing a lot of that sacred me time for reflecting.

 Now that my kids are older and I am slowly getting back longer pockets of time when I'm not making someone a snack or giving someone a bath, I thought it might be a good time to revisit journaling. As someone who likes to process big feelings on my own, I always felt journaling to be beneficial to my well being when I was younger and look forward to cultivating this practice again.

I'm challenging myself with a “Weekly Wondering” for the next few weeks to get back into the habit of journaling and hope some of your will join me on this journey.

 

This week's Weekly Wondering: Where am I robbing myself of growth/healing to stay comfortable where I'm at?

thank you for being part of the fbw community
