Who I am

I am a woman, a runner, a reader and a friend, a mother, a wife, a daughter and a sister.

oh, and a wine drinker – hang on a second.

NOW I’m a wine drinking-er.

I’ve been thrust into a transition season in my life and find myself in between jobs and home with my children during summer break. Although the transition came about from a fairly challenging time (let’s just say I’d rather work for the Russian mafia again than repeat the last year and a half). Between this and that and the other thing – I broke a little bit. I know you’re not supposed to admit that and just push through – but I need to be honest with myself and stop pretending it was okay. I don’t want to come through the other side the same. If I acknowledge the crack in my soul, I will find the right repair glue. (It is found in some cultures that when a precious vase is broken it is repaired with glue that dries white so you can see that it survived a crack and repair. and no, I don’t have the exact reference as this is not a book report). I refuse to be bitter and angry and regretful. Instead I choose forgiveness and hope and thankfulness for all that this will work for good.

I think I have come through the “poor me” portion of the healing cycle and have actually started reaching back out to serve and help and love those around me. Part of what I want is to set up a healthier lifestyle for myself and my family. To evolve me into a better myself…and this is the important part: as God directs and gives me the grace for – rather than: TODAY I WILL GET MY ACT TOGETHER!!!!

That often never works btw.

For starters – I will start this blog and document my goals and my process and commit to health and healing and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I am determined to claim health daily. I receive wisdom for setting and accomplishing goals and priorities and claim and receive the self discipline and self control I have in me.
