LOVE SHACK

Yesterday I did something I never do, it wasn’t huge, it was actually a kiddy size. After running down to Middlebury to pick up postcards to help send out for the Reclaim Our Vote project, I stopped and got myself a creemee! A Coffee and Maple twist at Cookie Love sold at the LOVE shack! The perfect mix of adrenaline and sweet Vermont! As I was enjoying my cone, I thought to myself what if we all put ourselves in our own LOVE SHACK? What would you fill it with? What would you do? How would you talk to yourself?

Here is my LOVE SHACK: When I arrived,  I would have the B-52’s playing, do a little dancing just to set the mood. Then I would watch Parks & Recreation, my favorite show of all times. It would be a good reminder to “treat yo’ self!”  I would ZOOM with Marie Forleo, Brene Brown and Glennon Doyle and of course Abby would drop in to say hi! OK not sure they would ZOOM with me but I would listen to podcasts and watch them on YouTube. I would also have my yoga mat and practice with the music LOUD. It would go from an 80’s playlist to just spa music or piano. Next I would read poetry by Dana Faulds and Mary Oliver.  I would finish my time in the LOVE SHACK, with meditation and repeating affirmations of loving myself, being my own best friend and envisioning being surrounded by friends and family accepting and sending back out LOVE. That is my LOVE SHACK, July 21st. What would yours look like today?

“ 'Cause love rules at the love shack. “ LOVE SHACK, B-52’s
