We don’t have to do this alone! It took me a long time to figure that out. I had considered myself a “lone wolf” for a very long time. The main reason for that was maybe I hadn’t found the kind of friends that “got me” and maybe I had closed myself off from being approachable.

For a period in my life, I seemed to move every 4 years… from British Columbia, Canada to Saudi Arabia to North Carolina. It was always a new start having to make friends. Different cultures can make it hard to find your peeps or your pack, too.

I am so happy to say that I have grown very firm roots and have found a whole bunch of amazing peeps and I have my pack (which keeps growing!) that support me and I am blessed to be able to support them as well. I no longer feel alone!

You don’t have to be on your self-care journey alone. Find your buddy (or buddies) and hold one another accountable with support, understanding, and love. It can be so much more fun to share the successes and losses with someone(s).

My challenge for you this week, my friend, is to find an accountability buddy - someone who will support you and who needs support to keep stressing less and living happier.

Here is a picture of one of my daughters and I walking to Planet Fitness to work out. This summer I’ve got my workout buddy for support and inspiration. What a blessing!

Here’s to you AND your buddy!

Warmly, 

Rita ❤
