So...The past year I have basically done a little "revamping" of myself. Some of these changes are physcial (I've lost 45 pounds) some are emotional (I've lost a brother) some are organizational (well...my pantry is still messy) and I've found a passion I'm trying to expand (HealthyMomsKitche.com) During this journey, I have a lot of people asking, "What are you doing?!" Well...Look out! I will tell you!
I plan on keeping/sharing a "journal" of sorts, of things that I find are working in my life, and could perhaps work in yours. Whether it be a low glycemic lifestyle, taking time to reflect or "pray" each day, making sure I get my runs in, or making sure I make attempts to be a better parent, spouse, friend, or just be nicer (LOL!) All these different areas make up me. And it takes a balance of all these areas to keep me sane!
Where to start?! I don't know...What do you think?
I think collectively we are all on the same journey. Perhaps in different places, but hopefully with the common denominator of gaining peace and balance and sharing with each other the joy and strife's of our individual pathways.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest, that where to start is where you have. By finding a place where you feel comfortable about sharing your passions where others can share their struggles with you and we collectively can gain not just information but a patchwork of experiences to draw on, when faced with obstacles.
These are the things I look for and seek out. I love Healthy Mom's Kitchen. What a great idea. I love blogging and facebooking with folks who cheer me on, comfort me and ALSO have the courage to share their experiences both the struggles and the achievements. This is what gives me sustenance.
I appreciate your efforts. I'm glad I've been on this road with you, the last --- what, five years?
I love what your wrote here. I too have lost, a sister, mother and father. I have lost 70 pounds (with still about 500 to go), I have gained perspective, sealed my convictions and I have been able to share them with others. It's been amazing, this journey!
I love it! I am excited to read about your journey in life :)
ReplyDeleteLaura, you inspire me! I love this blog and can't wait to read more. You are one rockin' mama!
ReplyDeleteHi! I met you on Saturday at the cupcake conf. Your blog name sounded so familiar, I thought I had read it before but I was wrong. I just added it to my google reader though. I can't wait to follow along :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED BEING A PART OF YOUR LIFE DURING THIS JOURNEY! I love and adore you!
