Wellness with Laughty

Are you a solo exerciser or do you prefer to participate in a group?
I’d say that I’m a little bit of both. I love running solo and being completely free of outside distractions. But there is something about a yoga class or doing obstacle course races that help me push myself further than I would doing these activities solo. And if you’re following my stories and the 30 day kettlebell swing challenge, I’m enjoying participating in this solo activity knowing that others are joining in wherever they are. Thank you for motivating me to join!
So, which do you prefer, solo or group activities?

Do you ever look back on a period in your life and think about how far you’ve come? Growth is not linear and it’s easy to get caught in the mindset that you have so far to go. Or that healing an area in your life seems daunting. But I want you to remember that there are areas in your life where you have made leaps and bounds!
Being in Portland reminds me that the last time I was here was in March 2020, attending a nutrition conference with . Driving home from that trip, I had no idea how much the world and my life would change. There’s a silver lining in everything if you look hard enough. What’s improved in your life since then? Or another significant time period?

My healing is your healing and your healing is mine. Just like love, it’s a ripple effect. And we do it by showing up raw, real and vulnerable. By quieting those voices that say I can’t. Or I’m not enough. Or someone else is seemingly further along on their journey.
Right now is a powerful time to set intentions or goals. Whichever is your preference. Be specific, because your thoughts and words are powerful.
One of mine is letting go of negative thought patterns that I’ve subconsciously held onto for years. These thoughts are lying. Yeah, they may show me where I want to put in more effort. But getting caught in a negative spiral does nothing.
What are you working on improving in your life?
I’m rooting for you!

Happy Summer Solstice!

I’m not sure what the secret to happiness is, but I’m pretty sure it begins with going outside…

Delivering herbal remedies on foot in my neighborhood hood is making me very happy 💚 What’s making you feel delighted today?

Do you ever find yourself immersed in nature and suddenly all of your senses are wrapped up in your surroundings? All your worries fade away and your nervous system is completely unwound… all the little plants and bugs and things just captivate you and remind you how truly magical the world is! I want to bottle that feeling and share it with all of you. Or maybe just hope you get a chance to feel that feeling as often as possible 🌲

If you’re kids come over to play with my kids, I promise to feed them healthy food. I also promise they will most likely come home dirty 😅

Where are all my tea lovers?
Jamaica has to be an all time favorite of mine and pretty much the only souvenir I brought back from Mexico.
What’s your current favorite tea?

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”

My love may not have loved finding lavender in his salad, but I was delighted. A little aromatherapy to calm my nerves? Yes, please 💜

May the beauty in the world always catch your eye 🌺
