Greetings Barre Bae,
 
It's hard to believe we are more than halfway through October already! In addition to being on the cusp of holiday season and co-hosting a three night retreat, October is the most birthday-filled month of my year. THIRTEEN friends and family members born in October!!! Needless to say it has been, and will continue to be, a hectic month. Knowing that my life will most likely stay busy through the end of the calendar year, I'm being extra mindful about how I spend what little free time I do have and carving out space for deep reflection and quiet. You can still protect your peace even when life is coming at you fast.
 
In the spirit of protecting my peace, this week we just have the upcoming schedule and one of my holy grail skin care products. The chillier months often require more moisture and this product is. the. truth.
 
Please know that there is a lot going on behind the scenes here at FBW even during weeks or months when things look slow from the outside. I'm giving myself space to process the retreat and re-evaluate my business goals, all while working to create an on demand library for members so they can have access to FBW movement any time they need. 
 
Creating more opportunities for us to come together in person as a community is also something that is very important to me, so be on the lookout for a walking club announcement in the near future. Getting fresh air, moving outside, and connecting with each other is the endorphin boost we all need as the days get shorter. Seasonal depression and feeling down during the holiday season is very real for many people. Having a supportive community can be helpful during these challenging times.
 
 
 
Pass it on…
Do you know someone who is looking for an inclusive wellness community and would appreciate FBW content? Please forward this newsletter on to them. 
 
 
thank you for being part of the fbw community
