Coffee Talk Tuesday #12

Happy Coffee Talk Tuesday! Welcome to the weekly chat where I spill my guts and try not to spill my coffee. That would be very sad.

I’ve said it once/a million times, but boy, what a difference a week makes. Since last week’s weird events, I’m back at work, and am attempting to teach 4 of my usual 11 classes.

Don’t worry — I’m stubborn, but I’m a smart lady, too. I won’t push myself this week. Next week, we aren’t allowed to lead any fitness classes, so this is a good ‘test’ week before diving back into the mix on September 5.

If we were having coffee today, I’d tell you that September 5 sounds like a FAR away time, but it’s in like 2 weeks, not even. How? Don’t get me wrong, I love all things fall – the crisp air, apples, pumpkin everything, scarves, cute jackets, boots — the long list of favorites. But summer seems to have slipped by this year. I guess that happens.

If we were having coffee today, I’d tell you that last week was a big learning week in my world. I learned some unfortunate things about friendship, some great things about having a reliable and loyal husband, and some tough things about my identity and how I see myself/my place in the world. It was hard. I didn’t expect my emotions to get the best of me last week, especially since I know myself as a very strong human who can tolerate a lot of pain.

If we were having coffee today, I’d tell you that I’ve started a new book, recommended to me by a very unexpected source. It’s amazing. I can’t wait to share ideas from it, and start implementing them in my own practices.

If we were having coffee today, I’d tell you that this is a new week, and I’m always excited at the possibilities of a new week.

Cheers to you!
