Something wonderful happened to me today π₯°
I finally got around to watching Goose's wonderful affirmation video today and am SO glad I did! (Side note: Can we all just appreciate how fucking awesome Goose's car is? When I saw the colors I was hooked. When I saw the fucking goose sticker on the window and he BOOPED it? Pure bliss.) Anyway, I like the affirmation that "something wonderful is going to happen to me today" because it is so steeped in being open to experience the bliss of the universe. I am a big believer that the universe has my back and everything is happening for me, not to me. This feels along the same vein. So, here are some wonderful things that happened to me recently... Last night, my good friend @Sebastian Schroeder hosted a shitty business pitching competition for our community. It was so fun!! We had the event in-person for Austin locals, but then also live streamed it to our community with the Skool live feature! @Samanda Rasmussen, @Stacy Oros, and @Xavier Todd watched from around the world and judged our contestants shitty business pitches on a scale from -10 to 10, with the lowest score being the winner. In the end, we had pitches for a dating app that sends hitmen on liers so you know you can trust people's word (shout out @Rex Loyer for that one hahaha), a hockey team that removes all the snow we get here in Texas every year, a rent-a-parent service, a rent-a-plant-on-zoom service, and lots of other fun and whacky ideas. Overall, it was just a silly event. But I really felt like it started bridging the bond between our local in-person community and some of our international members! I will DEFINITELY be doing more "local but live-streamed" events like this! Highly highly recommend. Oh! And I gained the entitlement "Sultan of Shiny Objects" in Sam's Crap Academy! That's why I wore this wild costume to the event last night :)

Something Wonderful Happened To ME Today!!!
I really loved that post this morning and I said it a bunch of times while I cooked breakfast. I said it like 20 times until I really felt it. Then all day I kept thinking things like Oh my coffee is wonderful, Oh new member requests, thatβs wonderful, which I counted as a win because drawing attention to how great my life is IS WONDERFUL. I even had a discussion going in my group about it. And thenβ¦I WON $100 IN A SPIN THE WHEEL DRAWING in another group!!!!!!!!!

What's the most obscure fact you've learned today?
So there I was, tangled in Reformer straps like a human pretzel, when my Pilates instructor Lauren dropped this bomb: "Think of yourself as a seahorse." Me: "What are you talking about?" Lauren: eyes gleaming with marine biology passion, "Seahorses have the most romantic daily ritual! Every morning, they dance together to strengthen their bond. They change colours, intertwine tails, and pirouette around shared holdfasts!" She starts demonstrating on the Reformer, moving like a graceful sea creature while I look like a beached whale. "And get this," she continues, "the MALE gets pregnant! The female has an ovipositorβbasically a penis-equivalentβand deposits eggs into his brood pouch!" The entire class stopped, while Lauren continued. "He carries up to 2,000 babies and goes into labour for HOURS, pumping and thrusting to birth them all!" She even showed us a video. Honestly, the birthing motion looks like he's sneezing. Then, get this, they immediately mate again. π Every day's a school day for me. What about you? What obscure fact have you learned today?
