I was 22, young and dumb, so I bought a puppy. We grew up together. He saved my life, many times. He was my favorite thing, and the smartest decision I ever made. Get a dog, save a dog, he just might save you.

#k9 Mongo. We love you buddy. Even when you eat poop. I won’t tell.
Mongo: loves to be in his inside house crate. He loves to be outside his house crate inside the house. He loves to be on the couch or carpet chewing his bone. He loves to steal things from other rooms. He loves to be with Jason. He loves to hunt lizards in the bushes. He loves to catch his toy high in the air. He kinda just loves life! (He doesn’t love being outside in his kennel while we are all inside after dinner)

It took about a month and a Lot of “ummm babe I need your help again...😬” but it got done!
Squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, onions, basil, jalapeños.
Can’t wait! #lovesalads #freshveggies
Now that’s a #firepit fire. Beautiful Easter Eve. S’mores galore.
Journal idea for the week: “Want what you already have”
This is such an easy way to cultivate gratitude, peacefulness, acceptance and clarity too - at least for me!
Example: “I want horses” ... this reminds me even when the days are long and hot, the work is hard and seems unforgiving and never ending that there was a time i begged my parents for a horse, there was a time as an adult I added it to my wish list and worked very hard to make that dream come true. And there are many more times when I love their spirit and attitude and personalities that add such gifts to my life. “I want horses (and a donkey) and ooh I have them! Look at that!” .
. .
“I want a husband” this reminds me of a time when i dreamt of him and cried from loneliness wondering where is HE?? This reminds me of the time when all i wanted was a partner to go through life and support each other, have adventures with and be there through thick and thin. THis reminds me of all this despite the crumbs... the coffee cups (what is UP with the coffee cups everywhere??) ... the dirty socks and the inability for dirty clothes to actually make it into the laundry basket... again ??? This reminds me and then i think “i want a husband.. oh YESS I got one!! YAY!!” .
.
. “I want a home that I love to come home to.” Reminds me that while I am ‘stuck’ here, I truly love my home and am glad I have this space to be despite the current situation, despite feeling on lockdown some days. I am reminded “I want a home that I love to come home to — oh yes!! I have that already! Awesome!” .
.
.
Tell me what to you want that you already have? Be specific, be general, go nuts. Make a biiiiiig list! Add to it throughout the week and then see how you feel on Friday. It’s a game changer folks. I promise.
Beautiful day hiking. 7.63 mi. Granite mountain hotshots thank you for your service.

I’ve been journaling for over 20yrs and it’s part of my medicine. I journal for mindset, stress relief, and focus. I’m constantly reminded of the numerous ways this habit can help us in troubled times as well as peaceful times. One daily method I have “re-adopted” recently has improved progress and focus in my day when I feel so scattered and overwhelmed due to the daily news and world situation. I offer it here.
1. Set your timer for 5 minutes. Ask yourself “What went well yesterdY?” Write down as many things as you can. Go through your message log or calendar to job your memory. When the timer is up challenge yourself to write down 5 more. This practice primes your brain to seek evidence for the positives in your life. To remember and focus on progress. Enhancing a feeling of confidence and well being. .. 2. Set timer for 5 minutes and ask “what didn’t go well?” This is the time to self reflect on what didn’t go as planned, where you struggled. By priming your brain with no.1 first it this doesnt feel bad or ‘icky’ or negative. It feels more informative and observatory, neutral. A way to learn. ..
3. Final step - set timer for 5 minutes. Ask: “what will i do differently next time?” Take the struggles aka mistakes of no.2 and brainstorm solutions. What might work better when the same situation arises again? Ask yourself what feeling you would like to create next time, what actions could you take. Did you learn how to do a task more efficiently by struggling and making a mistake? Write that here. >>
Pen to paper is very important for this because our brain can move very fast, a lot of thoughts avg 60,000 in fact per day run through our mind more in times of stress. Writing slows it all down. Brings more clarity and ease. .... now sit back and read it again. Absorb your wins, acknowledge your struggles, and emphasize what you learned. Now that is progress!!
..
>>>
If we can improve ourselves by 1% a day - just 1%! - imagine where we could be in a year!

Love to hear how it goes for you - let me know! I will be here journaling away.
This yoga this community ♥️♥️♥️ so many interesting insights from practicing this yoga out of the hot room. 1)it’s still makes me feel great! 2)without the sweat I didn’t have to focus on my grip so I could focus on really using the correct muscles 3)going less deep into the posture without the heat let me focus on more precise alignment - creating muscle memory - I know my body will remember and be able to make even great gains when back to the hot room and 4) I can be late and the does not locked! 😂😂 (you know me always one to run in at the last min) now I’m ready for IHP tonight! Going to get the husband to join in 🙌🏻🙌🏻 take care yogis! Stay strong and flexible! @onefireaz #bikramyoga #livestreaming #lovethistribe
Our k9 mongo (we call him mongie) had kidney stones. Long Surgery last night (25 stones!). Jason stayed with him for hours to make sure he woke up ok. Police k9s do not wake up from anesthesia like your sweet pup wakes up 😆 he is home now and resting well. He will help keep mom (me) company during this time while he heals at home. Let’s see what else 2020 brings... sheesh.
