friyay happy hour: lilikoi margarita

in my yoga classes this week, the themes have all been about inventory. and right now, i'm completely hung up on my inventory, so i'm going to just carry that theme right on over to today's blog post. 

don't worry, i don't mean the physical inventory of your pantry. this post isn't a recommendation to clean out your actual cabinets. not that that is a bad idea if you have some free time. but i digress. 

no, i'm talking about your own PERSONAL inventory. we are quickly approaching the last quarter of twenty-seventeen and how better to prep for a new year than with inventory? personal inventory doesn't just mean your personal life. it is time to take a physical inventory of your body, inventory of your relationships, your mind, your schedule and of course, your liquor cabinet. 

and i'm practicing what i preach. this week i took a serious personal inventory. for the last six months i've been spinning my wheels, trying to grow a trio of new businesses, develop a whole host of both business and personal relationships and giving of myself physically and mentally in pretty much every aspect of my life. 

now that i've taken inventory, it is time to put the stuff that is not moving on sale and reorder the good stuff. i've decided that after this margarita, i'm starting to implement some serious adjustments of my inventory. more yoga. less driving. working smarter, not harder. more family and friend time and less time spinning my wheels at jobs that aren't lucrative monetarily or mentally. 

now it is your turn. pour yourself this lilikoi (passionfruit) margarita and start to work on your inventory. having trouble finding actual inventory of lilikoi? try your produce store as they are currently in season. i've even seen them at my local vons. neither of those places worked? ask the produce guy at your local market to order you some or hit the local farmer's market.
