Last minute Easter egg hunt. I tried. Pretty sure it was a #momfail. Trying to do something fun last minute. Ah, well. I hope everyone enjoyed it. But one of my favorite people here accidentally left her homemade smoothie and I got to reap the benefits of it. Spinach, wild mangoes, bananas, honey and multi-vitamins. She’s so nice. I’m trying to eat healthier and be healthier overall, and I hadn’t planned anything for me later in the day when I was writing, so this was a nice treat. . Dominic had a good time with the mass chaos and even though the kids had their moments, it was a good few hours. We jumped into the pool afterward. “You are who you hang around.” Right? Be around nice people who give back to you and maybe you’ll jump it up a notch, too?

The new Mangurian Building at the Jacksonville, Florida @mayoclinic campus has really stepped up their game with the architecture, ergonomically-friendly everything, open concept, charging outlets for devices all over the place, and the Woodruff Bistro is delicious and unbelievable. I have been traveling almost 12 hours [overnight flight from Puerto Rico that was delayed 4 hours, landed in Orlando (chose this destination because it’s a non-stop and have never had an issue w/ JetBlue before) and then drove 2 hours to get here w/ 5 minutes to spare for my blood draw by the always amazing Ms. Carolyn Price], so I was massively starved by this point. I ordered some Baja noodle bowl magic with a vegan sausage and a kombucha drink on the side, and all I can say is WOW. Well done, Mayo Clinic. Well done. I wish I never had to come here and every time I come for follow-ups, I’m still scared, but this is really nice. I would only suggest adding some sort of white noise (ocean sounds, things like that) while waiting in the doctor’s office because the silence is terrifying. You probably already have a meditation room that I need to scope out but in case you don’t, that’s a thought. Thanks for always having free WiFi so I can catch up on work, YouTube videos, or anything else. ... #sojournerbyretrowtures #documentinglifeasithappens #b6slim #kombucha #est #eatclean #eathealthy #noodlebowl #notjustknots #notjustknotsdotnet #cancercansuckit #fxckcancer #breastcancer #300nat (at Mangurian Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqRqIvhB4d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nafip3umxd7q

🎈🎂✨I have a lot of day-before planning of my son’s birthday party; he turned 5 years old yesterday and I can’t believe it. Five years. Five. FIVE!!

No animals were hurt during this taping. Okay so to get the full picture. I spent the entire day loving on animals. Kittens, pigs, and cows. Taking selfies, and petting them. I wanted to get a selfie of this cow licking my face, but she ended up getting a mouth full of my hair instead. Omg. I hope this makes your day like it did mine.
