Hi Amy,

Can you believe we are in February?? If you are anything like me, you ask that at the beginning of EVERY month! The start of the year has brought with it so many wonderful things to be grateful for me. I’ve gotten back into my salsa lessons and am picking up PICKLEBALL! Whoop!

As I contemplated what I wanted for this year, I realized how un-nourishing and un-loving I can be when I cut out FUN stuff. My self-care often gets left in the dust compared to my laser focus desire to work. SO - I chose a word for this year and it is: INTEGRITY. You know, without structural integrity, no building will stand. My personal structural integrity is no different. I am fortifying my "building" with nourishing, loving, dare I say, FUN self-care!

More updates on balance, integrity, and pickleball to come.

Peace, Love, and Complete Awesomeness to you,

Amy

P.S. Here’s our family photo, taken by my friend Kelly Starbuck last December (2023). I love this so much- it’s a good reminder of WHO I can spend time with when I have integrity in my schedule!

Are you loving you?

I love myself…I think. Do we love ourselves? Do we have integrity in our self-love? Keep reading and discover for yourself…

Think of it this way - If you LOVE your pet, you feed her, groom her, water her, take her to the vet, provide safe shelter for her, and spend time with her with pets, snuggles, and attention. That makes sense. Those actions are all in alignment with or "in integrity with" the commitment to her and feeling of LOVE for her. Your actions would be out of integrity with your commitment to her and feeling of love for her if you forgot to feed her, didn’t brush her coat or didn’t take her to the vet when she needed medical care.

All right then - Are your actions in integrity with your commitment to yourself and feelings of love for yourself? No? Not at all? Or Maybe not all the time? Maybe your lacking self-care actions are reflective of your lack of commitment and lack of feeling of love for yourSelf. Perhaps they represent the way you value yourSelf perfectly.

I hope this HUGE concept has you chewing on how you see you - for tips on next steps (in case this mile high view leaves you wanting up-close action items) make sure you hit the blog later this month. They will be listed there!
