This was my very first neighborhood the first time I moved to Philadelphia back in March of 2017, so it’s pretty special to me now and always. It was officially the first time I had moved to a new city knowing not a soul (my experience in New Zealand is for another blog post!).

I had been living out of a suitcase and room/couch hopping for the better part of the 7 months pre-COVID, so when this hit I moved back into a room at my parents since they so lovingly welcomed me in - so grateful for that. They live on a lot of land that I’ve really come to think as magical…I look out the window and sometimes think I am in Ireland. Lush green grass, a little pond where ducks play all day and birds fly above through the trees that create a canopy over it. I find pure joy in seeing birds of all kind fly through, their colors popping against the greenery.

With everything going on in the world right now, I’m using the time I have after being laid off to really hit restart. To build my foundation and make it strong. To focus on what I truly enjoy and where I want to head in the future.

It could be great, or it could be a hot mess. We shall see in time!

Did you know that some Aetna plans include access to group fitness classes at local boutique studios through my company, Peerfit? With Peerfit, qualifying users receive monthly credits that can be redeemed through our app to use at any of the gyms and studios in our network across the US. I am beyond thrilled to be constantly encouraged to workout and have that cost covered through my employer. I have to share this because my life has drastically changed in such a wonderful way and why not spread the goodness.
