I recently completed a 28-day detox recommended by my chiropractor / functional medicine doctor. As expected, I experienced the usual detox symptoms like fatigue, slight nausea, sleep disturbance, acne/breakouts, and brain fog. An unexpected symptom for me, however, was the emotional experiences associated with old memories that arose while on the program.
Who doesn’t love a parade? Parades are fun and bring joy. I was excited to be part of the Reds Opening Day Parade with Skate Downtown Cincy. While it wouldn’t be our first parade (my husband and I were in the BLINK parade two years ago), the Opening Day Parade would be our first time skating in one! Though excited, as someone still new to street skating, I was on the fence about skating in a parade.
Winter is a season of resting. With less daylight and colder temperatures it's a good time to slow things down. Rest is an essential self-care practice that we sometimes forget. If we don't rest, we will eventually get forced to rest.
House hunting was more fun when we first started looking. While it can still be fun, searching for a house is also tiring and, at times, disappointing.
Reflecting on the past year, I would describe 2023 as a “Year of Firsts.” Mostly related to my hobbies, there were things I tried or achieved for the first time. Whether they were bike riding events, traveling to new locations, or just trying new eateries (like a revolving sushi restaurant), I am glad to have experienced these things.
