It is March and life is good!

Two months of 2015 have come and gone. It's been delightful, yet trying, and so so quick. I've poured my heart and energy into Global Shapers and my job, luckily there are some pretty great people in those communities who fill me up too. I feel like I'm on the right side of the road, and driving the car, so that's a good thing... so wellness is happening (though always room for improvement), and I'm continuing to work towards creating positive impact in the world.

I need to be better about capturing things that feel right/productive/well as they happen. Since I don't, I'll rely on memory, and appreciate that which makes me aware of my perspective and purpose.

-Planning an event for all of the fabulous women in my life and others, to connect and share together has been a highlight of 2015. Through this process, I've been able to collaborate with my dear friend Joy again and make a new friend in Anna. It's fun to be providing a forum to celebrate women leadership in the Twin Cities, and fostering connections that will make our community even better!

-Supporting Eric and Sandbox Center's kickstarter. Though more of an intrapreneur than entrepreneur myself, it's been so fun to share his incredible dream, work, and passion with the world to make it a reality. If you haven't, check out www.sandboxcenter.com

-I spent Valentine's Day weekend having bloody marys with friends, sending cards to my girl friends, and going to a 1st birthday/anniversary for a condo, caught up with my grandma, and spent most of the following week spending time 1:1 with Shapers from my Hub. While I still don't appreciate the commercialization and pressure of the holiday, I really took time to celebrate love and people in my life and it was wonderful. I hope I can do that every year.

-Despite several travel issues with Winter Storm Remus tearing through the South, the interview days I hosted went as well as could be expected. Everyone was flexible, understanding, and happy with how the day turned out. Good reminder that despite my greatest wishes, I can't actually control the weather and sometimes we just need to trust that things will work out.

-Sarah came to visit. Celebrated friendship over 5 hours of breakfast, bloodies, and beers. It's always nice to find those people who get you, your dreams, passions, problems, and goals, even though we've spent very little time together in person. Trip to Orlando needs real dates, real soon.

My ongoing motto for wellness: Wake up mindfully, act intentionally, end the day gratefully.
