Fast Fix Friday: Warm Root Veggie Salad with Smoky Black Beans

Hi! Happy Friday! How was your week?

One of my favorite things I used to do when I taught a course in college was going through each day and checking in with my students, and asking them to give me the highlights and then the lowlights of their week. It was how I got a sense of what was going on in each of their lives and how I could gear my lessons to be more relevant to their lives.

Yep, I taught college in one of my former jobs and I totally loved teaching!! I think I could've gotten used to being called Professor on a daily basis. Maybe I'll go back one day....who knows?
​

Back to this week....

My highlights:
*It was my birthday on Wednesday!! I used to be freaked out about getting older, but now I say bring it on. I'm learning so much and doing nothing but getting wiser, so when I have the opportunity to rewrite patterns I didn't quite have a grasp on the first time, I welcome them. Let's start anew!
*Birthday Cake Waffles with Chocolate Drizzle--need I say more?

My lowlights:
*Uhhh, how about being sick on your birthday? Yeah, that wasn't fun. In fact, tummy viruses are NEVER fun, no matter what day they fall on.
*I'm feeling a tad emotional this week. I feel disconnected from my body and my spirit. I feel lost and have been questioning my path, wondering where I go from here. I'm looking at how I can stretch myself and grow, not only in my blog, but in my business/career path. And it's confused the hell out of me.

But, what I can say is I'm emotionally and physically exhausted from this week. So, I don't need a lot of time in the kitchen...because I want to snuggle in my bed and just be for a while.

Is anyone else with me???

Good. Let's welcome the weekend then.
