In the midst of my two classes and my new internship I got to attend the Whole Foods KC Pre-Opening Party with my best friend Victoria. Its always such a blessing when my real world and my blogging world get to meet and I'm able to bring my friends to these events. The new Whole Foods is located right by UMKC at at 301 E 51st St. I will admit that I am an avid Whole Foods visitor. Although I don't really shop for groceries there (I don't have much time to shop for groceries at all anymore). I am constantly visiting Whole Foods to browse. This Whole Foods is huge (48,200 square-feet) with a Fountain Room, coffee bar (my personal fave is a iced matcha latte with vanilla syrup), and seafood bar. There also is a deli, unlike the other two Whole Foods locations (Olathe and South Overland Park). I didn't see any Amazon lockers which was surprising. I'll have to ask Alexa about it. Just the other day I picked up some handmade peppermint soap for $2 at Whole Foods! Top that Marshalls?!

Somewhere in between all the busyness these past couple months I feel like I've lost sight of the big picture. My goal for 2018 was to live a life of intentional gratitude. Trying to slow down when it feels like there are so little hours in the day has been challenging. I feel like overall I've never been more grateful, but trying to keep my mindset where my heart is with so many deadlines has been rough. However, life has a funny way of reminding us what our priorities are. Nevertheless I'm re-framing my narrative and trying to live out my goal. I've been meditating and talking to friends about the stress and anxiety of life which has definitely taken some of the pressure off. So if you've wondered why the blog has felt a little distant its because it has definitely been on the back burner. I'm on my last couple weeks of summer classes and feeling grateful to almost have completed 5 graduate classes. I'm not sure how to conclude this post but I'll be back to the blog soon, rejuvenated, and smiling as if all of those boxes of La Croix are mine. P.S. how cute are these photos of Victoria and I?!

It's such a hard balance to do everything we want in life and still find the time to stop and enjoy it all!! But you have such a great outlook on life Sonia!!

It's always important to take time for yourself. I think life passes by too quickly! This week I'm celebrating my 20 year wedding anniversary. 20 years? I remember it like it was yesterday but time really does go by quick. BTW, Whole Foods is my home away from home! Because I have food allergies, I shop there for myself all the time. I love it so much! Your pictures are lovely in this post! Have a wonderful week!

Your dress is beautiful, and it sounds like such a fun event!
ReplyDeleteIt's natural for blogging to fall a little behind when life is busy, don't beat yourself up about it - there's only so much we can do in a day, and sometimes you need to put down things you love for a bit to relax!
Hope that you are having a lovely start to your week after a nice weekend :)
