starting over

i thought after posting once, it would be easier to post again, but it hasn’t been. as it’s been many many months since my last post. I find myself in a place in life that is awkward and uncomfortable – I want change so badly, and yet it is comfortable and easy to fall into the same patterns, same routines, day after day.

I am surrounded by love though, for which I am eternally grateful. To my wonderful husband who supports me through everything big and small – whether I’m having a bad body day or I’m over the moon because I saw something in just the right shade of green. I am blessed to have three loving furry friends in my life – each of them offering something different and taking something different from me in return.

I am just now starting to realize how important the idea is that I “must BE the change”. I’m getting there, slowly but surely. Just now for the very first time in my life, starting to feel comfortable in the skin I’m in, and enjoying the ride along the way.

in the beginning

I always find starting to be the hardest part of most things. So, I think I just needed to get this out there in blog world and see what happens.

I hope this blog will be a kick in the bum of sorts to create, almost everyday and share it here as often as I can.  I want to reclaim back that creative muse that was on an extended hiatus.

My life has taken a pretty sharp turn in the last year. I got married.  I started drinking more water.  I began eating more organic products and became more conscious of what I throw away. My husband and I brought two cats into our home.  I’ve bgun to take charge of my health not only for myself, but for my husband and hopefully sometime in the future  for our children. I fell in love all over again with second-hand store finds.  I’m loving cooking and trying new foods and I rediscovered sewing, and this is only the beginning. . . in the coming weeks I will be putting dreadlocks  in my hair, and oh, the excitement! I’m looking forward to sharing that journey here too.  I enjoy so much finding ways to be creative everyday.
