Lean on me [MTL]

WISCONSIN NOTES:

  • No matter what your struggle is, we are here for you to lean on (and thanks for letting us lean back)
  • NP potluck desserts/drinks Monday Dec 11th at 7:30pm
  • Winter #weatherproof tips (aka buy waterproof mittens and wrap your toes)

This morning was for warm and fuzzies. You show up to this thing weekly and smile and hug, but you never know who needed that hug more than usual today or whose day you have truly made by telling them how strong they look. This morning we took a moment to acknowledge that stuff. Whether it’s loss, school/work stress, heartbreak, anxiety, depression, or fear, we have all been in that place and we can all relate to those moments where it feels so hard dragging ourselves out of bed and putting on a smile. I just want to remind you that your feelings are so valid (and normal) and you are allowed to feel all of those things. I also want to remind you that we are here for the hugs and the fuck yeahs and the little things (which often end up being big things) that we can offer. It’s cooler than cool that you still come on those days. It’s actually amazing. What’s also amazing is the impact of your actions on others on the days that your cup is a little more full. Someone needed that extra squeeze, that super real smile, and that little bit of silliness in their day.

Thanks for being those somebodies to a ton of other humans who appreciate it much more than you know.

Okay okay, I’m done with the sappiness (for now). Let’s get to logistical things:

The workout

Sometimes I write a full blog post without once mentioning that we work out. Oooops. That would especially be rude today since the workout was pretty damn hard. Another thing that is pretty damn hard? Those buns o’ steel after the brutality of bulgarian holds and heavy leg trots. Oh and Sally. We loooove Sally.

In conclusion, great job on this one today. You worked hard and you earned your week real good.

NP holiday party

  • Monday December 11th at 7:30pm. Facebook event to follow.
  • It’s a dessert potluck so start thinking about what you want to make!
  • It will be a private FaceBook event but you will be able to invite others that may have been missed! If you still get missed, send us a facebook or instagram message and we will sort that out!

In the wise words of Bill Withers (but also of all of us singing at the top of our lungs this morning): We all need somebody to lean on.

Happy week tribe.

❤️
