It is cooler outdoors this time of the year in Central California, and the fire indoors is always blazing hot😆. So 4 out of 5 days this week I have achieved my 40oz target, in fact, this morning I had achieved it before 9 am. This is a really big win for me 😍 (silver linings 🤣)

I have been spending a lot more than 10 minutes each day on quiet time. Being away in the mountains, ensconced amongst gorgeous forests, with stunning vistas, has been so relaxing. It is incredibly beautiful and peaceful out here and so conducive to self-reflection. I have managed to do my prayer each day and some self-reflection and breathing exercises. The other day I found myself literally falling into prayer and contemplation for close to 2 hours because I am just feeling so truly blessed.

I want to thank you for welcoming me into your home @dreemsteem, @biggerjoe, @bbqgriffinwings, and @quirky.countess and for showing me such kindness, friendship, and love. You are all so truly special to me and there is a place in my heart that is forever yours alone.

I have also been going for lovely walks each day, more than meeting the 25-minute requirement, walking in LA, Hartland, and Fresno.

Sadly, I have not been able to progress my musical goal this week, unless being given the privilege of a private musical performance counts? 💗 Thank you @bbqgriffinwings and @dreemsteem, you guys harmonise so beautifully together. That was so very special❣️ I did initially have a plan to try to meet my goal partially whilst I was away from home but it didn't work out as my luggage was already at its max leaving the UK. Oh well... onwards and upwards 🙄

On another note, I have been getting to bed much earlier than usual and waking with the birds and squirrels at 6 am each day which has been amazing.

As for the rest, well I have taken a small break from Hive this week so I have not been around much to do any encouraging. I am sorry 😔

@dreemsteem and I have encouraged each other a few times this week but I think I can safely say that overall I have not lived up to standard this week in this regard. Favourite encourager? I only had one lol. Tag you're it @dreemsteem.

So, whilst I have not been able to meet all of my goals on any single day this week, I have made good progress in a few, and this is a really big step forward for me.

And now to enjoy consolidating my wins this week💗
