5 Blogs I Am Grateful For

November 4, 2014 by Hillary 10 Comments

With Thanksgiving a few weeks away, a heightened awareness floats into the air of being grateful and thankful, and, more importantly, of sharing that gratitude.

While I made a goal in 2013 to write down three things for which I am thankful for daily, I am one of the majority in that I don’t express my gratitude – or feel my gratitude – as often I seek for mental strength and appreciation.

So… with this blog having a birthday in a week (stay tuned for a giveaway!), and for as long as I’ve been holding hands in the circle of friends that is the healthy living blog community, I see it fitting to pronounce my gratitude for a handful of blogs that bring a sense of gratitude to my life on the daily.

Peanut Butter Runner by Jen DeCurtins

jen

 

Jen is so passionate about her work; you can tell she puts 100 percent into everything she does (and she does a lot!). From her challenging workouts to her inspiring words and courage to follow her dreams, she inspires me to say YES to life.

The Real Life RD by Robyn Coale

robyn

Robyn is one smart cookie and another young woman who isn’t afraid to grab life by the horns. A Registered Dietitian in the process of adding Nurse Practitioner behind her initials, her zippy attitude towards achieving a balanced life through intuitive, plant-based nourishment is most inspiring. I devour her blog posts because they are chock full of knowledge, from a personal and profession standpoint. You don’t need a nutrition textbook when you read The Real Life RD.

Caroline Winn Photography | Blog by Caroline Winn

caroline

Caroline: hustling; transparent; driven; talented… the list could go on. I have followed Caroline via the web for many years and have witnessed her photography career blossom. Not only is she an artist behind the lense, but her adventurous spirit is a quality of hers I wish to capture.

Making Thyme for Health by Sarah Cook

thyme

A fellow NorCal blogger, sweet Sarah motivates me to be creative in the kitchen. Let’s be real, that happens too seldom, but this recipe wizard can create decadent gluten-free treats and the most phenomenal salads – that’s my kind of balance. Thanks, Sarah, for your continual kitchen inspiration!

Fit Foodie Finds by Lee Hersh

fit

Lee, goofy, girly, go-getter Lee. I love this girl… despite the fact that we’ve never met in person. While I don’t make nearly as many of her Pinterest-popular recipes as I should, this social media guru, recipe extraordinaire, and fit fashionista is one that gives me hope of young entrepreneurial dreams. You go, girl!

These are a mere five the of inspirational bloggers I follow on a daily basis. Thank you all for your continued inspiration – I am grateful for each and everyone one of ya!

 What blogs are you grateful for?

    Aw, Hillary! I’m so flattered to be a part of this list! Thank you so much for thinking of me. And you are a constant inspiration to me as well. For example, I started adding hemp seeds to my toast every morning because of you. :)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
