Its Weekly Wishes day again! I love doing weekly wishes because my Mondays are sometimes rough at work and it gives me a chance to look out into the week and really get excited about things coming my way! Its perfect really :) PS I love my weekly wishes art this week! Its a picture I took last night during dinner! LOVE IT!
This weekend was jam packed with fun. The best part was going to a fundraiser for an AWESOME program. "The Help Program" in San Clemente is working with at risk children to help them keep their grades up and involve them in sports programs. There was a mother there that gave her testimony about her sons transformation through this program and it was so moving. When he first came to them he was failing all of his classes. Through the Help Program he started training in mixed martial arts (MMA) with a group called Fighters For The World that they collaborate with. He loved this part of the program but to stay enrolled in his MMA classes he had to get his grades up... and keep them up. He started going to tutoring through the program and is now getting grades that are above average for his school! His mother was in tears and he was standing on stage super proud of himself. This is just one of many lives they have impacted. One of my wishes for this week.. or month... or whenever is to help them raise some money to bring more children into their program. They have waiting lists full of kids that want... no NEED to be a part of this dynamic group! If you are interested in donating any amount please comment or send me a message and I can get you more details! Thank you!!
Something I need to work on this week is stretching my body more and drinking more water. Sometimes I drink a ton of water but right now I have just been dropping the ball on it. I sit at work all day with an empty cup on my desk and just stare at it. It screams at me "FILL ME UP".. and I ignore it. But not this week.. Nope I am going to listen to the cries of my water bottle! I am also going to work on full body stretching in my free time (haha that was a joke - I have no free time!).. I am going to MAKE TIME for stretching this week. My body has been feeling so tense this week and knotted up from working out that I really need to!
Cheers to another GREAT week!!!
WOW! What a story! I am so glad that the fundraiser went well :)
ReplyDeleteThose are great, simple goals for this week. I am like you, in that sometimes I do really well at drinking lots of water, and then other times not so well... But I am also trying to drink more water this week! And now that you mention it, maybe I'll even try out some stretching!

ReplyDeleteWhile water - yeah! it's the healer. I have to push myself sometimes to drink more water too.. must drink more though as well!
and yeah - exercises. they used to be so easy to do. nowadays I hardly can push myself. but this is included in my weekly wishes. will start doing them tomorrow morning. time has come - I'm to young to get all dumpy, lazy, and hardly moving :)
all the best luck this week! be strong, and definitely - find a time! :)
That was so moving. I'm so glad the fundraiser went well. And what a great goal to help raise money for the program. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this week's goals. Drinking water is also on my list! Let's do this!
That's a very good thing that you are doing. I hope you are able to raise more money for these kids. Proud of you actions. Stay positive stay motivated :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best on your WW. If it helps, I usually put a big jug of water in my cubicle. I set a target to finish it before lunch and one more after lunch.
