FINDS - 11/15

This week, I'm doing FINDS a little differently.

I recently accepted a new position as a Marketing Associate with Pioneer Acquisitions in Chicago, IL. I am thrilled with this new opportunity, but it is still overwhelming. Between ending my time at Heart, my home for the last (almost) three years and transitioning to a new position as well as packing up my apartment in Peoria to move to a new place in Lakeview, it's been anything but dull around here. For that, I haven't been able to browse online as much as usual.

While cleaning up my files on my work computer, though, I found this. I found this list on mindbodygreen months ago, saved it, and now uncovered it. So this week, instead of sharing links, I'll be sharing this list. I hope it brings you the clarity and gratitude it brought me.
