week of 9/10: rose & thorn

Artwork by Katie Daisy

As a weekly installment, we’re going to play a little game of ROSE & THORN. My RH fans will remember this game as a favorite of Bethenny Frankel’s on the Real Housewives of New York.

How do you play? Summarize the week with a high point, ROSE, and low point, THORN.

ROSE

This is an easy one. My ROSE is relaunching sassyrants.com! It was a fun exercise reposting archive blog post entries from 2008 while equally exciting to plan future blog post topics. I look forward to sharing more with y’all!

THORN

My THORN is most definitely Hurricane Irma. Not only did the hurricane preparation cause mental and physical stress & fatigue. That storm had all of South Florida prepping for everything from a Category 5 to a Tropical Storm. That’s not even considering the fact that I had to cancel a trip to Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival with the FoodieFivesome & Friends. Have no fear, we have re-booked that foodie adventure to eat & drink around the World Showcase! All kidding aside, I couldn’t be more grateful that my friends and family in Florida and beyond were spared major damage from Irma’s path.

Well, that was a fun exercise. Happy to make this a regular post. It feels like an Attitudes of Gratitude exercise! #blessed
