Heavy

a rope tugging at my soul, but my hands don’t feel a grip. For is this life, destiny or some fucked up trip? Silence and screaming rip my thoughts like old stitches in a baseball. Layers of deep dark substances crusted over frayed edges. In those crevices darkness will always remain. Peace? Peace is being grateful for your life while watching the tragedies of others. Their horrors now on display across screens made from minerals mined, reeking the sweat of children that scratched the surface without shoes on their feet. That’s what we do, we watch. We watch and wait because you know not one man escapes this world without the call. The question in your mind of why Lord why? Cries that fall empty, because you know it’s not right. It’s not your place. You’re always involving yourself with the Lord’s business. 

How can one just dismiss the sled we are forced to drag with us? How do you not pick up things along the way? Is there a calm in unrest or do you force digestion? Obliviousness no longer an option for me, nor is tolerance for this fake society. The resistance will be televised. 

Are you ok? No. I’m disappointed, disgusted, fearful, angry, annoyed, pre disposed to internal rage, and don’t blame it on perimenopause. It’s this fucked up ball of mass and gas’s that we ride daily. 

They say the days are getting shorter. Pay your mortgage, pay you insurance, pay all the things while maintaining your sense of guilt while hundreds of people went to bed by a river and woke in a nightmare. 

Thats what this is. I’m heavy because of the floods and that being my biggest nightmare. Water.

Dark. 

Fast.

Moving.

Water.

The sounds.

The crashes. 

The bangs. 

The screams. 

The silence of someone as they accepted their fate. 

Taking people from the securities of their homes. As if the world hadn’t handed them their dealings in life,already. People were resting, living, being, or even already hungry, jobless, or grieving. 

The more I write. The more I try to make sense. It doesn’t. Never will. 

There is a peace in God, not of this earth. A higher connection. That is the only thing that drives me forward. Lean not on your own understanding. 

Thank you God. Count it all Joy.

Been a long time…

I have been lost a long time. I wander through life with a naivety and fire like I own the world. News flash, I don’t own shit. Not material in the sense of ownership but in the tune of how I move. Reaction to outside issues is not my super power. I’m vowing to change that, because I refuse to be lost in the wilderness of my mind.

Change in Diet, Change In Mindset

Ish just got real!  When you put things out in the Universe they must be good genuine and have purpose.

Living with Vitiligo is a daily struggle and not within my realm of control but my confidence grows everyday.  

Getting into is shape something that I CAN control! Daily changes make progress.

So happy with how the last week has gone. Pictures speak a 1000 words

 

 Picture on left is today!  Picture on right was last week!

Journey Begins

Before 7.2.14I have not been very faithful to myself when it comes to working out.  Be it tired, working long hours and just out right defiance I have failed time an time again.

One thing is certain in order to be a success I know I have to let what I used to be go.  I USED to be an athlete.  I USED to run several miles a day.  Now is my reality.  I work. I am a wife and a mom and I get winded walking up 2 flights of stairs to my apartment.  That is over.

I am tired of complaining.  I am tired of being the chubby girl and more than ever I want to be healthy.  My reality is no one can do this but me.  So, I am a beachbody coach.  Tried Insanity.  Didn’t finish.  Tried P 90 X. Didn’t finish.  So what.  I am committing to this PiYo challenge starting July 7th.  I have comitted to better eating an I am sticking with the 2 month schedule.

Why did I not get there before. Lazy.  Greeedy.  Flat out.  It is called accountability and I think that I just had a roll call for myself.  I love me and me is who this if for.  (My husband thinks I am sexy anyway being that I cannot pass by him without getting my butt slapped!  So here goes.  8 lbs down. 15-20 to go!!!

 

=Don’t believe me….just WATCH!

Determination of Peace

There are certain times in life where there’s that one moment, that instant when you notice how you have grown.  I have been angry, resentful, and aggravated by life itself. With saying that you have to take some responsibility because it is YOUR life but outside influences account for the rest of the pie.  But, then there is that moment, that instant when you realize that you have let it all go.

Freedom comes in the form of a clean spirit that is not only at ease with God, the universe but most importantly yourself.  Don’t worry about things that do not bring positive ambiance to your personal space and vow to live a more even paced peace based existence. 

This realization came to me after returning from spin class this morning: Why not force upon yourself positive thoughts when you waste energy on negative ones? Find YOUR relaxation. YOUR healthy escape that helps you find center in your being.  Prayer, meditation, eating well & exercise are my ingredients to PEACE.

The Incredible Edible London

Wow! I have not been here in a while. Mainly because I figured no one would listen but came back because I now know better to care. 😉

Maybe I will do this for me and maybe people will read it and that is cool too. One thing is for sure, the inspiration to breath a little deeper and laugh a little louder is from a girl named London. We just celebrated her 2 year birthday this past week and to watch her grow is..well, just amazing! Sure, she drives me bat nuts crazy and I often run away to my bathroom closet leaving her to run circles around her beloved daddy ❤
But I would not change a thing.
Getting to this enjoyment and manageable way to live has not been so easy. I finally realized that stress is a feeling that you Choose to have in your life; so if you don't make it an option it becomes a non-existent factor. Yes, things will come up but it is all how you respond to those obstacles that matters.
Today I relished in the joy of my daughter and created memories chasing her around daisy cookie cutter in hand eagerly instigating her squeals of delight! It's the little things……

Maggie this one's for you!

Primal

I put a certain someone to bed last night and after a sustained period of silence from the bed, I look over the using my phone as my flashlight.  Suddenly, I am greeted by large eyes reflecting  the light of the phone and in her hands  & jaws clutching her giraffe!  I could not help but laugh!  My baby looked so like a night vision scene from Animal Planet!
