STARBUCKS LAS VEGAS BABY!

I finally went for my check up and found that not only had my cholesterol reduced but I also had my first nuclear stress test to set a baseline for my heart moving forward. I may be 50 but I have the heart of a 25yr old athlete!

The last thing I wanted to do was join my HOA lol...but with all the practices that we've learned through this process, and the fact that I was contributing anyways with previous challenges I bit the bullet! I am now the VP of our HOA.

I worked with my neighbor who owns a black owned spa product company to understand more about not only her business but also the others that are within her business alliance group. Not only was I able to support them but I was able to find some great new local items too and share with my friends and family!

Donated food this weekend. Spent time getting to know my neighbors.

I was so excited yesterday when I found out I won a community award with $100 to donate to whatever charity I wanted. I utilized that money to donate and create a match for Forget Me Not Animal Sanctuary of Las Vegas that takes care of injured, senior, homeless and challenged animals.

This weekend I repurposed my garden tarps to repair my raised planter bed, in addition I took my old deck box and added a drip system so now I have two awesome planter boxes with reusable materials that didn’t hit the landfill!

I am surprisingly myself as I am noticing that there's many things under this month's challenge that I can confidently say that I have already done and have been able to put into habits and routines. I have exercised more days during the month of October versus every other month of 2024 and I will make more effort in coming months to ensure...

Last night we remulched all of our trees which not only helps prevent tree rot but also assists in distributing moisture and reducing tree burn, especially during these crazy hot summers in Vegas!

I have started reimagining this which has proven to be an interesting journey for sure. I am learning to simplify my life in regards to what I "want" vs "need" in order to save money for more travel but also reduce my clutter!
