Yesterday involved a lot of self-reflection and realization and TODAY was full of confirmations, motivations, and reminders. What did I learn? Le Grand Courtage says it perfectly: Embrace Life. Dream Big. Accept All Invitations.

All I could tell myself is that my teeth are getting straight and I’ll be getting married in Mexico in 107 days! As I walked or should I say, flew down the icy, windy streets today...Lesson learned today?!? Snow is not as pretty as the pictures purport it to be and Pittsburgh Weather sucks! Mexico oh Mexico...Where art thou?

This Friday was probably one of the BEST Fridays I have had in a LONG time! And although I did have a minor wedding planning setback, I recorded my first podcast episode and was able to workout with my man AND get my Quality Time! I don’t know HOW I’m going to top today, but I’m looking forward to trying!
