Life has many stories. These are mine.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The old girl is going to a new home today. Happy to donate it to a single mom.

This couch is the last thing I brought from my former life. The plan was for it to move out of the house when Nathan moved out. Instead, we moved to a condo and it served as my couch the last 5 years.

It never looked right. It’s comfortable as heck (had my last nap on it yesterday!), but just not “right” for my space.

It’s taken me a long time to figure out what MY style is. Turns out it’s quite minimalist and leans towards mid-century modern. Slowly but surely I’m making this place my own.

Happy the old girl has a new home and making space for more new things to come. by @sharon_papish

I didn’t realize I had photos that captured the changes every five years over the last 20 years.

It amazes me to see how much happier/content I look 5 years ago and now. I don’t recognize the 10 year ago me. That was taken in the middle of my marriage to a narcissist who later told me he preferred men (didn’t know about either until 2 years and 8 years into the marriage).

I don’t have the security of two incomes, the big house, the BMW… none of which we’re important to me at the time.

I have my own company now, my townhouse, and my Mazda. I also have a wonderful partner who has taught me to put ME first. My life feels more authentic to who I am.

Experiences over stuff.

I’d rather spend thee months away from winter than be married to a mortgage. I’d rather spend money on doing things with friends than spending it on the upkeep of a vehicle.

I haven’t done the is yet, but there are days I’m tempted.

I lovehow we all congratulated each other leaving @harmony_chestermere after The Circuit at noon with @coachkaddie. Some of us weren’t sure we’d be walking out under own steam. :) by @sharon_papish

First time at Strength and HIIT with @i.train.with.kat. What was I thinking? Kat after doing barre with @nikkibdef__ this morning? My quads may never recover.

Now to see if I can get into both classes again next Monday. :) by @sharon_papish

The best part about having two five month pups wake me up at 0600 is getting my workout and a hydro massage done by 0815. by @sharon_papish

First class with @nikkibdef__ since getting back from Mexico. OMG… I’ve been ready for bed since 7:00 pm and am not sure how my butt will feel in the morning.

Oddly, I was also thinking, “Oooh, I need to put this in my routine, too!” I kinda wonder if barre instructors at the same gym have a private competition to see who can create the most brutal (yet oh-so-good) workouts. :)

How can something so innocent looking pack such a punch? What a workout!

I wasn’t paying attention when I was booking classes and ended up with three almost back to back. Started with The Movement Dance Fitness with @thechroniclesofmel (who looks soooo good doing all those hip movements…meanwhile in the back row….lol!!), followed by The Circuit with @magicmvmnt subbing for my favourite tiny tyrant, and ended the night with yin yoga by @hockeymumyogainstructor. It was a great way to end the day after being at my desk.

A hot bath in some Epsom salts and now this girl is ready for bed! Let’s hope I can move tomorrow.

Martin has committed to working out at least twice a week (three times this week!!) on the week he’s home if I joined @planetfitnessca with him again. It’s a good addition to my fitness classes at @harmony_chestermere . I like these chairs almost as much as the hydro massage beds (which are being repaired today 😢).

First circuit workout since I got back with @i.train.with.kat and - OMG - she did not disappoint! Very glad I have a massage booked tomorrow! It feels good to get back into routine.

Me and my favourite guy. Six years together already and I’m not planning an exit strategy. 😜

We enjoy being together - whether it’s sitting and watching a movie (to which he will 95% fall asleep during) or traveling and exploring new places. We’ve made a bucket list of travel we want to do once we’re retired and I only hope we live long enough to get it done.

I can’t remember the name of the song, but I think it’s from REO Speedwagon - “What started out as friendship has grown stronger” but we HAVE the strength to let it show (you’re welcome for the ear worm!)

My best friend, my biggest supporter, my safe place - that’s him.
