1. I haven't been down to the beach as much as I'd intended, (it's sooo touristy here from June to September), and my proposed walking meditation hasn't happened.
2. So often, I attach all these beautiful ideas around something I want to do, and the magnitude of all that energy, will paralyze me. 
3. Once again I'm reminded to leave behind my thoughts and be in the moment.
4. Instead I've tried out the walking meditation app on the daily walks I take with my pooch.  
5. I've noticed when I'm focused on my breathe and less in my head, Howard is also less hyper on our walk. 
6. The single best thing I've done this year has been to buy cute workout gear. 
7. I worked hard to rid my wardrobe of any clothing that didn't make me feel my best, but I'd wear shitty workout clothing all the time. 
8. I'd recycle my old t-shirts for the gym, and I'd wear whatever bottoms I found on the sale rack at Target. 
9. I still shop at Target, but I've also integrated nicer leggings, made for working out. 
10. Wicking material is mandatory. So are sports bras.
11. I got to eat in a restaurant this week that I've wanted to go to forever.
12. You can believe the hype, it really is that good.
13. And Chef Nobu was in the restaurant, (which apparently happens rarely in this location), and came over to our table to say hello. 
14. I'm not usually star struck, but I do crush on famous chefs.
15. I love this beauty tip! It works great when you're the girl using a cotton swab to try to lift off the excess eyebrow makeup you've just applied so you don't look like Cruella DeVil. 
16. My little family is out of town. M took our girl to sleep away camp and once he drops her off, he'll continue onto NYC for business.
17. When he returns in a week, I'll be in Canada, so it will be two weeks and our longest time apart since we got together 19 years ago. 
18. The three weeks that I won't see our kid...longest time we've gone apart and I don't like it. Not one bit. 
19. But it's the right thing for her and this mothering gig means that my biggest feat is raising a strong and independent girl who isn't too attached to her mama's strings.
