Hello Hello! What a short month, huh?  Let’s see what I did this month. Well FIRST, I hosted a Currently Workbook Zoom meeting. My intention with this practice is to help people finish every month of their Currently Workbook this year. I will be working on my spreads with YOU and we will have a whole year of tracking our months together under our belts.  For more information, sign up for my newsletter and you’ll be notified of the next one!

This weekend I went to a local women’s community event with guest speakers and had my friend M.C. over for brunch. I didn’t do meal prep because I didn’t have the energy to but will probably do a few simple things this week to stock my fridge with goodness. Anywho…here are my Intentions for the Week!
