Roses & Thorns
Check out the newest blog posts, Peloton recommendations, favorite products, and what's making me happy this week (February 2nd edition)
This month I’ve traveled more than I have in years. It inspired me to add a new section to my blog focused on wellness & fitness while traveling. I’m sharing the first post there today.

In our last poll, 39% of you wanted to focus on your dietary health this year. You might enjoy this week’s newest post.

Here’s what’s making me happy :-) in no particular order:
Gratitude
I’ve been watching the documentary “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” based on the book of the same name, which focuses on a real-crime blogger searching for the Golden State serial rapist and killer.
The book was published posthumously and in the documentary, they quote her little girl’s thorn and rose, a nighttime ritual she shared with her mother.
It’s a good way to find gratitude daily, your rose and thorn.
My rose & thorn:
Rose: Collaborations. Last week, I had the privilege of speaking at a conference (on a cruise ship!) along with my friend Deanne, another Amazon influencer. I met the most amazing people and I’m blown away by their knowledge and support.
Thorn: My brain exploding with ideas and there’s only one of me.
What is your rose and thorn today?
Sleep Meditations
I’m admittedly not the best sleeper. Meditations get me through the night. Read some of my blog posts here:
