Thursday Things 05.19.2016

I’m in Minneapolis right now – meeting up with friends, visiting my old stompin grounds, and feeling all nostalgic. I forgot how much I truly love this city and loved my time living here. However, I fall for Denver more and more with each day and am excited about where that journey will take me.

And I’m excited to share these Thursday Things with you:

  • No bake desserts. I was these all: raw blackberry coconut cashew slice, no bake lemonade tea and coconut bars, and no bake strawberry cheesecake bars.
  • Important information: how to make a charcuterie board.
  • It does not at all surprise me that Denver is #3 and Minneapolis is #2 on America’s Fittest Cities
  • This video with Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham on shopper shame is funny, sad, and true all at the same time.
  • I wish I would have had this visual for how to write a wedding speech last week. My Maid of Honor speech at my sister’s wedding was… well, people said I did a good job. Were they laughing with me or at me? I’ll never know.

Speaking of my sister’s wedding, it was wonderful and beautiful and all sorts of perfect. Here are some pictures to prove it.

PS – how gorgeous is my little sister??!?!?!

LOL (as in “lots of love”)

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 ❤️
