Thursday Things 02.18.16

Last night I went to my first ever book club meeting! It was pretty fun. We discussed Rising Strong by Brene Brown. I don’t normally read this type of book, so it was good to have a reason to pick it up. The book talks about how to get back up after you fall and how to own your disappointments, failures, and heartbreaks so that you can move forward. It was a good read and I enjoyed discussing it with the group. And with any successful book club, wine and delicious snacks were also involved.

I also enjoyed these things this week:

  • Some tasty shrimp recipes: yum woon sen with shrimp, shrimp in thai coconut sauce, grapefruit + avocado bowls with shrimp, shrimp carbonara, and shrimp tacos with green chile adobo.
  • I gasped out loud when I came across these homemade animal crackers. They look so cute and delicious!
  • Replace “I can’t” with “I can”.
  • Read this love letter to your body and remember to love it.
  • These diy plywood frames with glass are awesome.

Have a great Thursday!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
