I’ve never been into trading cards until I came across VeeFriends. VeeFriends is an intellectual property by Gary Vaynerchuk which helps Gary spread all the characteristics, traits, and messages that he believes in through characters created in this VeeFriends family.

Here is a story about my blue car. It happened to me earlier this year and it had a profound effect on me, and I’ve been meaning to write about it. Here we go.

Torn Peroneal Tendon
On November 1, 2020, I felt it. Pain. A lot of it. Something happened, but a lot of things were happening. I was on mile 23 of the marathon and my body was giving everything it could. There were many pains to be had, as well as joys, and then I finally crossed the finish line.

Counting Macros
I decided to go on a journey of counting macros. Albeit, it was only for a week, but still it gave me so many answers. Now before thinking, ‘what could I possibly learn in a week?’, I think it’s awesome to know that in just this short span of time, there are answers to be had. So, if one has been thinking about counting macros, I’d totally recommend it and believe that even in a week’s time, one will get a lot of the answers they are looking for.

Gym Cardio Machines
Time to sweat!.. or move.. or simply breathe a tad bit deeper. Here is a dive into cardio machines at the gym. There are so many out there, so the focus of this article will be on treadmills, stairmasters, ellipticals, bikes, rower, and my favorite (that usually gyms only have one of, if that), the stepper.

UpPoems
This journey of writing has so many twists and turns. The one blessing is when I get to wake up. Upon waking up, this is already a blessing in all our books that we can live another day. Our days then are taking on by us. There are plenty of ups and downs, and here is to finding the up’s!

Self-Care Deposit
Checking in on an app, how much money we have in our account, which of our stocks may be time to sell, and which NFT collection is soaring is one thing, but checking in on our self-care is another whole level.
