2020 – The Avery Spectacle

These boots were made for walkin’

For the final dark month of winter, I decided that my challenge should be something to keep my spirits up and get me out of my yearly funk. Enter, walking. It’s cheap, it’s easy, and if you’re lucky enough to have two functioning legs you probably do it all the time anyway. I knew thatContinue reading “These boots were made for walkin’”

Make it easy

This year I put a lot of thought and time into my New Year’s resolutions, until I realized I was over-complicating it.

2020 Reads

30 Days

2020 is here and I’ve completed my first 30 day challenge. This year I decided that I’m going to do something new every month for 30 days. Not exactly an original idea but certainly a lot of fun. For January I started small, 30 days of yoga. I loved following Yoga With Adriene a fewContinue reading “30 Days”
