yoga summa

Yoga last night was a little bit of a mess - not because of anything the instructor did, but because of my own struggles. My body was impossibly tight and my mind was ev.er.y.where but there.

More specifically, I spent the majority of the class thinking about summer camp.

Days on the lake, morning walks to chapel, the smell of the dining room, where my camp crushes are now (I'm looking at you Pat and Mike)...

What prompted this level of reminiscence, I'm not sure. I think it had something to do with the way this unusually cool Georgia weather filled the studio - the windows were open and the cross breeze felt much more similar to nights in the cabin than the average June day in Atlanta.

Although I left the class slightly less zenned out than I typically hope for, it did make me extra happy about life. Less than one week until it's officially summer, and camp, or no camp, I'm really excited about all the season has to offer.

ATL Hold It Down

I've expressed before that I have an irrational, and yet very real, fear that I am ungrateful. And this past weekend, my fear skyrocketed with the culmination of three projects.

First, I completed my triathlon. I was blown away by how supportive my friends&family were - from texts to wall posts and everything in between, it felt so wonderful to know that people were supporting me during the race.
With the tri came the end of my campaign, one tri: one well for charity:water. Eee! I was so nervous to try to raise $2,500, and you all ended up donating more than $5,000. Instead of funding half of a well, we've funded an entire well for a village. A village will have water forever! Can you believe it!? I can't. I'm so so appreciative of your support, and when I started losing steam during the tri, I thought of all of those kids that walk miles&miles every day carrying buckets of water. And I knew I could do it for them. Thank you for motivating me!

And finally, Cheers for Children was Saturday night. I am so very grateful to everyone who attended! I was blown away by how supportive my friends were. To have you all there was absolutely amazing and I really, really appreciate you supporting the cause.

 
Whew. Quite a weekend. THANK YOU!

happee day mondayy

Oh my heart. It is so full.

This weekend was wonderfully happy and I felt so enveloped in love by the support of friends and family. I can't wait to give a full report tomorrow. But for now, a happy Monday to you all! I hope the weekend high carries you through the day.

PS: Is it seriously June 11? June is halfway over this week. What!? Where'd it go? Sheesh!

better late than never

You guys. I failed.

Wednesday was National Running Day *and* National Froyo Day, and I missed them.

Those are two of my most favoritest things – like almost should have taken a day off work to celebrate them – and I just let them pass me by.

Sure, I went for a run, but I didn’t even wear an extra cute running outfit or listen to a new playlist.

Couple that with the fact that I didn’t eat any froyo, and I might as well not call myself Whitney. 

I think I am going to have to make up for it this weekend. If you need me, check Menchi’s. 

TGIF!
