Holiday Party 2023 Recap

Hey everyone!

So, guess what happened yesterday? We had our 2023 holiday party for the ‘Ladies who Lift’ – yeah, that awesome group I started at Planet Fitness. We ended up having 11 of us there, which is pretty great considering how busy everyone is during the holidays.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a blog post (over a month, yikes!), mainly because I’ve been all in on my podcast stuff. But I couldn’t skip sharing this with you. Right now, I’m actually dictating this to ChatGPT in my car, just before I hit the gym. Multitasking, you know?

Our holiday party was super fun. We did a White Elephant gift exchange – always a blast. Everyone brought something wrapped up, and we drew numbers to choose our gifts. My son Sean got creative and helped me out by writing the numbers with an outline marker. He’s really into writing these days, which is pretty cool.

The best part? My friend Mary Ellen ended up picking the gratitude journal I brought. It’s not just any journal; it’s the one I wrote. Seeing something I created, a piece of my own journey in gratitude, being chosen by one of the ladies was just amazing. It made the whole author thing feel so real.

Oh, and some of us brought our kids along too. They were glued to their iPads, but hey, they were there! We even managed to snap a photo with everyone. It’s crazy to see how much our group has grown. And to think, it all started with just one person joining.

P.S. –

ChatGPT has been a lifesaver, guys. It’s like having a personal assistant in my pocket. Today, it helped me put this blog post together while I was on my way here. Now, I’m chilling at a table near the gym exit, saying hi to friends and feeling grateful for this community vibe. It’s amazing how technology, like ChatGPT, helps me keep my life in balance. From staying fit, to catching up with friends, to sharing my thoughts with you all – it’s a big help. Pretty grateful for these little techy helpers in our lives!

That’s it for now. Time to work out!
