Hiya Friends,

Yes - there are classes this week.
No - there is NO CLASS on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.

So to say it another way…. There will be regularly scheduled classes Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sat. However there is no class on Thursday.

This being grateful on one day of the year is a little weak, but yes - may we practice gratitude this week. Maybe the whole week. Maybe every day of your life. You will have more things to be grateful for if you do!

Happy Thanksgiving week y’all.

It’s a New Moon Day. This New Moon is in Scorpio, mistress of secrets, passion, and the great mystery. I am NOT an astrologer, but I follow some awesome ones and mainly, I try to live with/by nature and therefore - I follow the phases of the moon.

Whenever there is a New Moon - I think of it as time to set intentions for the upcoming moon cycle. It’s like planting seeds you want to nourish so they can manifest during the cycle. Really - I have made it a time for reflection.

The prompt I’ll be working with today in my meditation and in my journal is:
Can we look at the past without letting it dominate our present?

Consider pausing and turning inward at some point in your day today and asking yourself the above question or simply asking yourself what you would like to make manifest in the world/in your life during this next moon cycle.

May we all today
May we be and - especially with our selves at whatever arises
May we truly

Love you LoveBugs,

My friends with sciatica, instability in your SI Joint, and/or low back pain - a weak Piriformis muscle may be playing into those sensitives. Come on down to Thrive Studio this week and all week long we are going to be both strengthening and stretching the Piriformis and learning how to stablilize the pelvis in a healthier way than we most likely do. Me too people - this is my work too.

Even if you don’t have any of the sensitivities listed above, this work will help so that you never do!!!

I don’t believe / is something we either have or don’t have. I believe it is a practice. If we show up and practice being content with things as they are…with ourselves as we are - we build that “muscle” and it gets stronger. We can access it more easily and quicker.

So today I am practicing being content with it all. Maybe you would like to join me?!

May we keep
May we practice building
May we often
May we deeply
And May we always find and practice - particularly with ourselves

Love you LoveBugs

Yet again the ancient wisdom of is backed by a surprising amount of science.

In one study, a group of healthy young men were acclimatized to sleeping in a colder bedroom.

After just 8 weeks of sleeping in a 66 degree room, the amount of brown fat or good fat they had doubled. Brown fat has been linked to better metabolic health, stable weight, and overall greater health.

The next month, when they slept in an 81 degree room, they lost the brown fat.

In fact, they had less brown fat after the month sleeping in an 81 degree room for a month than when they started the study—and remember, they were healthy to begin with.

Repost:
When autumn breathes through the forest🌳🧡
Where the forest dreams in autumn.

Zobaczcie ostatni taniec liściastych drzew na wietrze — pełen lekkości, koloru i przemijania.
Za chwilę zgubią liście i zapadną w zimowy sen, by wiosną zbudzić się na nowo.

Przemijanie to nierozerwalna część życia — wszystko płynie, nic nie trwa wiecznie.
Każdy liść, każdy podmuch wiatru, każdy dzień jest tylko chwilą w wielkim cyklu natury.

A jak wygląda Twoja jesień — w przyrodzie, w głowie, w sercu?

🌳Lasy Doliny Baryczy🍁

Watch the final dance of the deciduous trees in the wind — full of lightness, color, and passing time.
Soon they will shed their leaves and fall into a winter sleep, only to awaken again in spring.

Transience is an inseparable part of life — everything flows, nothing lasts forever.
Every leaf, every breath of wind, every day is just a moment in the great cycle of nature.

And what does your autumn look like — in nature, in your mind, in your heart? 🍂
