You can read about the start of this project here. The next day we decided to be adventurous and rented a car to drive down the Grand Pacific Drive which we were told was stunning views. It was.

The next day we all took buses to Bondi so we could do the Bondi to Coogee walk. It was incredibly cold when we first got there (it was Winter in Sydney!) but it warmed up and the walk was magnificent of course.

How I shone this week: Well this week took an unexpected turn. My sister called me Sunday and asked me if she can come Monday night. She was in Boston and was planning to come in three weeks but due to a last minute change, she decided to show up. While it was absolutely wonderful, between that and my taking the day off on Tuesday, this week was very crunched so there was much running around to squeeze in going to school and work and exercise and of course being with my wonderful sister. Maybe shining mostly looks like surviving lately for me. Things I wanted to get Done:
I celebrate: getting to celebrate my birthday with my sister! I am grateful for: my sister! my hubby! my boys! I nourished myself by: lots of exercise this week. Reflecting on my worries: all the days worked out and so did making more room so i could be with my sister. I let go of: getting it all right this week. Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
What made me laugh this week: i laughed a lot with my boys and sister. What I tolerated this week: not getting enough work done. My mood this week was: tired. Here’s to a great week 38.
I read the Class Mom pretty quickly. It was funny but it was also trying too hard to be funny in my opinion. It was ok but it will be a book I will forget pretty quickly. I then moved to Reincarnation Blues which was unusual and interesting and I am still not sure if I like it or not. Almost Missed You was a quick read, too, and also not super interesting. It was okay but meh. I then read Home Fire which was interesting even though it was hard to read. I liked it and I liked the characters, the story and I am glad I read it. I am now reading Stress-Proof which has a lot of facts but also a lot of “this may help…” which makes me think a lot of this book is still theories and not proven anything but still interesting and worthwhile to read, for me.

So grateful for my progress, I have more shots on instagram. Nourish Me Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here. You can read about the start of this project here. On the way to Port Douglas, we stopped at Hartley’s Crocodile Adventure which also was a huge hit. The kids loved seeing the crocodiles and getting to feed and touch so many unusual animals.

Jake and I have back-to-back birthdays. We’re exactly one week apart and he comes first. Even though today is mine, last Tuesday was his. As of a few years ago, we make a point to take both of our birthdays off work and make sure to spend it with each other. (Maybe when the kids are gone we can take the whole week from his day to mine.) This year was the most unplanned I’ve been and I felt terrible about it. We still managed to get some reservation at a lovely place in the city and had a delicious lunch. We spent most of his special day shopping for me but of course he was completely gracious about it and so, so kind. It was just so lovely being only the two of us. I’ve now been with Jake for 25 years and he’s the best person I’ve ever met. I am so lucky and so grateful to have his love, and to have him in my day to day life to share my moments with, to raise kids with, to experience life with; he is the very best person to share my life with because he always makes it more colorful, more enjoyable and more full of love. I love you with all my heart, my love, happy happy birthday. To many, many, many more together.

Weekly Intention: This is closer to what I am hoping my “typical” weeks will look like for this school year. We have back to school night for Nathaniel on Wednesday which is obviously atypical but otherwise I have a pretty regular week with the exception of Tuesday which I will take off for my birthday. I am hoping to get into the groove of this new rhythm. Understand when my fitness classes are. What my Wednesday mornings look like now that I will be at the school each week, and build some quiet time into each day, etc. Here’s to making that possible. Things I want to get Done: Here’s the list for his week.
This month’s intention is: September: Shine Patiently: September is a month of change. New year. Maybe new school. New routines. New season. This month always comes with changes, adjustments, and revisiting of schedules. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with others. Remember to shine. Even if it’s in small doses. Great reminder to me this month. Ways to Shine this week:
I am looking forward to: my birthday 🙂 This week’s challenges: Wednesday will come with two trips to the school, so a bit challenging and Monday is always my long day. But nothing too scary this week. Top Goals:
I will focus on my core desires (bold, mindful, nourish, love) by: journaling more this week and being mindful. This week, I will say yes to: celebrating my birthday! This week, I will say no to: chocolate. can i? I am worried that: i won’t exercise. i’ll stop eating well. my lit club partner and i won’t get along. something will go wrong. i won’t ever stop the chocolate cravings. i wont ever catch up to my own life. i’ll disappoint someone. This week, I want to remember: i am so lucky to be able to celebrate another birthday, alive and healthy. |
