So odd that, surrounded as I am by people, I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to who could possibly comprehend all of what is going on. Some good, some bad and lots of so-hard-I-desperately-want-to-quit. Even RH, who is my other half, doesn't understand the things affecting the Hillsdale alum part of my being, roommates don't get the business stuff, friends don't understand the family stuff, my business peers don't have a clue about the personal OR business OR alum demands and pressure. And I'm just trying to juggle it all. What was supposed to be an excess of time has rapidly turned into a deficit. Bleep.

No filter needed for these brilliant yellows.

This may not look like much, but I am so proud of my ability to do a proper chaturanga. I nailed it for the first time in my life this summer but never took the time to celebrate it. For years, I have struggled to strengthen my upper body in any meaningful way. Turns out, the machines that help you isolate muscle groups so you can develop your weak areas are actually VERY functional (sorry, CrossFit), and have helped me break through so I can do things like chaturanga and push-ups and ALMOST unassisted pull-ups. Don't get me wrong, I still love CrossFit (did 161029 today, modified). But being part of a globo gym, and being intentional about using machines to train my weak muscle groups has rewarded me with some serious gains I never experienced when I was doing exclusively CrossFit.

#tbt to spending last Saturday at the pumpkin patch with he niephlings and snuggling this little guy for the first time in months. He's growing up so fast! 😍 The best thing about living in Oregon, hands down, is being close to family. But we still don't see nearly enough of them. (at Lone Pine Farms)

So honored to be featured over at @onemorewoman today. I can't express how thankful I am for this group and the support and resources it has already provided to make me a better businesswoman. Head over to their IG to show them some love. #gotyourback #onemorewoman

A touch of autumn in our little seating area. (at Bare Bones Souperfoods)

My favorite season is in full swing! The late sunrises make it harder to get the pups' exercise in, but the reward for getting out there (watching the sunrise) is greater 😍

Decorating the new @barebonesbroth office today. So excited about our finds at the new @homegoods here in Medford, and the beautiful Oregon landscapes compliments of our new office manager. ❤️ (at Bare Bones Souperfoods)

Love doing life with this guy. It's not always sunshine and pumpkin patches, but his love is constant and unconditional, even through the tough times. ❤️ (at Lone Pine Farms)

I'm SERIOUS about getting cozy tonight. Tea, aromatherapy, jammies, wool socks, blankets, husband, pups and Netflix.

What a beautiful day at the pumpkin patch with the niecelets and nephew. This FACE, tho. 😍 (at Lone Pine Farms)
