So, what goes on, goes in?

I heard the phrase–what goes on, goes in–in an audiobook a few weeks back. It gave me pause to think about what was going on in my environment and subsequently what was becoming apart of me, apart of my way of doing, of being.

I like this phrase. In a quick internet search, this phrase pulls up images and posts largely related to skin and beauty products offering the idea of what goes on your skin, whether it's our hair products, our lotions this, that and the other; those items truly go into our body. And that's a very valid and worthy conversation.

But for me this expression of what goes on, goes in makes me think of our environments and communities and our families and friends. It made me think about what is going on in these dynamic connections and friendships and accordingly, what flows into how we act, believe, think or see.

What am I inviting into my way of being, my body, my actions by the nature of it going on in my life?

In other news, as we approach...

...the coming holiday here in the U.S., has anyone seen the movie Alice, with Keke Palmer?

My older sister recommended I watch it and I could not get over that it was based on true events. Check it out if you can.  

Happy Wellness Wednesday,
