Welcome Back to My Happy Place - Writing

Hello, dear friends!

I’ve been on hiatus with the whole “let’s open a whole 2nd studio” jazz of late 2023 and 2024; my kid said he looked me up on the internet and found out I had a blog and said “it’s very outdated”…ouch!  So, here I am - back at it trying to actually type out my thoughts and not default to ChatGPT LOL!  It feels so good to welcome you back to my little corner of the internet, where we talk about all the good stuff—faith, finances, and fitness—with a sprinkle of Jesus joy and plenty of heart. Whether you’re here for inspiration, motivation, or just a little pre/post holiday cheer, you’ve come to the right place.

This season is all about embracing gratitude, reflection, and yes, a little sparkle! As we cozy up to the end of the year, I’m so excited to share what’s ahead for December: my first 31-Day Wisdom Reading Challenge from the biblical book of Proverbs! This practice is one of my favorites—31 chapters for 31 days. Each day brings a fresh perspective on living wisely, loving generously, and leaning into the divine guidance that carries us through life. If you’re ready to join me, grab your favorite mug of matcha, tea, coffee or hot cocoa, your Bible, and let’s end the year grounded in truth and wisdom.

And about that fitness thing…

This holiday season, I’d love for you to step onto the mat with me weekly at Charlotte Family Yoga!  I’ll be recording and sharing some practices for my website/You Tube, but there’s nothing like physical connection (unless you live far and you want to do virtual with me!). Let’s flow, stretch, and sweat together as we honor our bodies and build strength from the inside out. There’s something magical about practicing yoga this time of year—feeling your breath, connecting to your heart, and making space for all that is yet to come - INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT!!  My classes are designed to lift your spirit and keep you feeling your best, no matter where you are in your movement journey!

Here’s what you can expect as you explore my blog in 2025:

✨ Faith:  From weekly scriptures to heart-centered reflections, let’s keep our eyes on the bigger picture and the One who makes all things possible.

✨ Finances:  Who doesn’t need a little wisdom about saving, giving, and planning for the future? I’ll sprinkle in tips and insights to help you thrive.

✨ Fitness:  Whether you’re a yogi, runner, or just looking for ways to move your body, I’ve got you covered with ideas to keep your health a priority—even during the busiest time of the year.

So light that candle friends, play your favorite holiday playlist, and let’s journey through December together. I’m thrilled to reconnect with you and can’t wait to share all the magic of this season. Let’s make it unforgettable—one step, one verse, one breath at a time.

With love, wisdom, and holiday cheer,

Spicy Vicie
