I’m SO happy to report that things finally look like they’re settling down :) After a lot of traveling, it feels amazing to finally have all of my stuff in one place (even though that place is still cluttered with half-packed boxes!) I debated about how much to share on the blog (I’ve gotten the sweetest emails from readers just checking in!) but I’ve decided for safety reasons, and to respect the privacy of my employer, I’m going to have to keep things pretty vague (I know, I know – super boring!).. I am, however, totally prepared to share pics of my first-day-of-work outfit, favorite work shoes and *gorgeous* view from my new apartment! ;) hehe
Everything’s going great so far… I joined a gym (priority #1 after finding a grocery store!) and I think I’m really going to like my new job (especially since now I have an excuse to buy cute suits!).. Though I have to say, I already miss my temporary roomie ;)
Thanks so much to all my friends who helped me move (and to Brandi from Faith, Fitness and Laughter for sending lots of encouragement along the way)!
Things I’m excited to (finally!) have time to look into:
- Research by Sara W. Lazar – Dr. Lazar is a neuroscientist and meditator – which is a cool combination right off the bat :) If you have a second, check out her Science Heroes feature – super informative!
- The American Medical Association’s (not-so-recent) labeling of obesity as a ‘disease’ – I’m definitely way behind on this one, but I promise to get to it soon! In the meantime, Danica over at It’s Progression started a good conversation on the subject!
- Getting Jenna Dewan-Tatum to read the blog :) …Not that she’s not busy what with being a new mom, a movie star and somebody who doesn’t know me at all haha ;) But from what I’ve read, she loves holistic living (and fairies and cute stuff just like me!) plus her hubby just did an amazing interview where he talks about the dangers of taking pharmaceutical drugs – so I feel like it’s the perfect match! I’m officially on a mission! :) …Any and all help would be appreciated ;) LOL
- Google+ …maybe it’s because I don’t use Facebook, but Google+ is super confusing to me! How am I supposed to find other lil mind/body/spirit people?! If any Prayers & Apples readers are on there, let me know! :)
Well, I should probably get back to unpacking/decorating! :) Thanks to everyone for reading… looking forward to researching some new posts! :)

Yay for the Yellow House Movers! ;)
Danica @ It's Progression says
I loved that interview from Channing Tatum too…I wish it would get more attention because I agree completely with him that it’s an absolutely terrible thing so many young adults and kids are going through!
Glad to hear you’re moved and getting settled in!
Jessica Walters says
I know, I’m surprised his interview hasn’t picked up more attention! ..And thx! :)

Hello, Jessica! It’s wonderful to see your smiling face! Looks like you have quite the view and I LOVE your suit. Really LOVE those shoes!!! Looking good girl! I’ve been thinking of you and glad to hear you are settling in.
Much love,
Beth
Jessica Walters says
Thanks so much! (And I’m in love with the shoes too – just thank goodness I don’t have to stand all day!) ♥ I planned on emailing you this afternoon – we’re all set for your guest post on Sunday! :) Can’t wait!
Brandi says
Hey! I love the view from your apartment girly! You look really happy in that picture too! I can’t wait for future updates and especially an update saying that Jenna is a follower…. :)
I’ll encourage you anytime you need it girly! Have a great day!
Jessica Walters says
Thx, I’m glad you think it turned out ok! :) I didn’t plan on posting it (I originally just snapped a pic to make sure my outfit was ok! Sometimes I don’t trust mirrors… lol) And Team Jenna all the way baby! ♥ Have a great day too! :)
