Gratitude & Life Updates:
- Grateful for real conversation and laughing so hard your stomach hurts with friends over dinner Wednesday night. And grateful I made these friends during yoga teacher training.
- Grateful for Steve and the sacrifices he makes to help me follow my dreams. I thanked him this week with a card that really said all those deeply emotional sentiments that I couldn’t put into words myself.
- Grateful for my new intern who is simply wonderful I’m lucky to have her on board.
- Grateful for RD friends who are so supportive and help to elevate each other’s businesses.
- Today marks the 1 year anniversary of when I was laid off from my corporate job. It’s been an incredible year of travel, soul searching, adventure, chasing dreams, and taking risks. I couldn’t be more grateful that life dealt me that unexpected card last year. I’m so much better off for it.
- This weekend, my goal is to SLOW DOWN and finish The Desire Map by Danielle La Porte.

That card is soooo funny!!!
I think i’ll definitely look back on my one year of getting laid off fondly. Not that I didn’t just go to a different, bigger, better retail brand but you know haha…
Isn’t it hilarious?! It’s too real for my life.
Haha I’m sure you will look at it fondly! And I hope that your new job brings you even more joy and success!
Love all the gratitude here + so grateful for other RDs too! Enjoy your weekend + The Desire Map – it’s one of my favorite books.
Thanks, Lauren. Can’t wait to catch-up with you tomorrow IRL :). I finally finished The Desire Map and found it really valuable – definitely uncovered some insight I wasn’t expecting to!
Love your Friday Favorites! Haha and I love your sock card — that defines my relationship with my husband! Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for the reminder to slow down a little bit π
Thanks, Elizabeth! Isn’t that card too funny? I wasn’t even looking for a card for Steve but once I spotted it I knew I HAD to buy it. Too perfect. It totally defines our evenings relaxing on the couch together with my feet buried underneath him :). Hope you had a lovely weekend! xo
Great post to end the week π
Kara, I saw you last year after you left your corporate job, and I’m amazed at all the cool things you’ve accomplished since then. For one thing, your blog is gorgeous and always filled with inspiration and delicious eats. I look forward to visiting you here often … and it’s always fun to see you around Boston too π
I remember our lovely lunch date at the Meal Makeover Mom’s Kitchen. You made a mean grilled cheese ;). Thanks so much for your sweet words, Liz. Big hugs.
Happy one year anniversary of having the chance to really find a life you truly love!! Always love your round-up posts – full of so many great links!
Have a great weekend π
Thanks, Meme! I feel so lucky to have found it. Hope you had a great weekend! Big hugs.
Loved your card to Steve– what a guy! Thanks again for the chat this week. Grateful for inspiring RD’s like yourself that not only share a similar passion but know how to have a friendly conversation π
SO wonderful to chat with you last week, Katie! Looking forward to staying in touch!
I love your life updates… You’re always making me think deeper girl.
Thanks, K. xoxo
