Hello My Dear Darling Friends!
Welcome to the weekly update of my life! While I thought about blogging throughout this week, life kept me fairly occupied. We are officially over the halfway hump of 2020 and this has been a bumpy year for the world. I will be content with posting a weekly update anything on top of that will be cream and for now, that is enough for me.
I spent lots of time in the garden and even ordered 10 cu yards of garden soil which has macnut mix, red, and black cinder, and compost! I am thrilled to have more soil to garden with.
A giant dumptruck came through and delivered this soil! It was eventful for sure! 
Can you find the watermelon?!?! 
This is my latest addiction, at least it is a healthy one? 
I am planting this Ulu (breadfruit) tree for my Dad ❤
The 4th of July happened this week and our neighbors across the street invited us to their BBQ / Slip-n-slide/ Burning Man party. They said that they have gone to the burning man festival 5 times and were supposed to volunteer this year, but the virus happened. So their friend, who is a fire marshall made them a 7 foot man to burn. We are still social distancing so we went over masked and brought them 4 dozen quail eggs then came home.
Our neighbor is a greener grad also so I decided to represent! 
It’s the burning man!
My partner and I decided to go shopping on the 4th and it was heavenly because hardly anybody was out! We got more solar lights to light up our property especially where our renter’s house is and we finally got ourselves a sexy little Keurig!
JULY: BE JOYFUL
“If we can just let go and trust that things will work out the way they’re supposed to without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.”
-Goldie Hawn
- Laugh out LOUD. Yes!
- Take time for self-care. I am taking much better care of myself and it feels so good ❤
- Nurture your relationships. I love my relationship and I now have 10 penpals and counting!
- Seek inspiration. Being outside inspires me!
- Bring out the BEST in others. I am doing much better. Being around better people definitely helps. I wasn’t ever around bad people, but people who operate on a higher frequency are uplifting and inspiring and I aspire to be one of those people.
It has been too long since the last time that I posted a workout and word of the day… I will start posting again. The great news is that I have been very consistent with my workouts and this time around I believe that I am not overdoing it!
We finally have a good mailing address once again and I have definitely been indulging a “little extra”, lately. I haven’t taken any workout supplements other than the occasional whey protein in over a year and I decided to try out “Women’s Best” vitamins, and a workout stack. Have you ever tried their products before? Comment below if so!
I was so pleased with my experience with Women’s Best that I placed another order to order some of their athletic wear. I have never worn a matchy, matchy, set before. Have you?! I am looking forward to getting it in the mail soon! I also ordered some juice from Organifi and skin care products from Lush Cosmetics. Yes! Your girl is definitely taking the whole “Treat Yoself” mood to another level, but hey, next month is my birthday month so I might as well start early?!?! I have been doing my workout in the morning and this week, I started doing yoga before bed. It really feels good to take better care of myself and my health.
Well, the sunshine is beckoning me to go outside and garden and I am getting my very 1st Ashiatsu massage at 4 pm for an hour and a half! I will sign off for now, but don’t worry, I will be back soon. I will try to post at least once before next week’s catch-up!
Hope you are having a wonderful week and I will see you soon! Comment below to catch up and chat!

Sounds like a beautiful week. Doctor’s visits for both of us. My wrist is getting stronger every day. 🥊❤
Yes, it was such a nice week. I’m glad your wrist is getting better every day ❤
Did the whole Body Pump class at the gym today.
Great job Susie! You are getting stronger everyday! I have been lifting heavier weights this week and it feels so good to be strong ❤
Just come back from the gym, and did 1,000 punches, hooks.and uppercuts without a break
Wow! Great job! I am sipping on my morning coffee, thinking about writing a blog post that is not my weekly blog (progress!), then later I will work in the garden and do some yoga. Have a lovely rest of your day.

Just been food shopping.
