Read on below to find out more about her and her journey…
Know
Every day life might not be what you imagined when you were little. In’s and out’s of adulting can be rather stressful and banal. The important things is to make the bits in between count. don’t waste your time on things that add to the stress, go for runs, spend time with your family, eat things you love. Keep thinking “If all I will wake up with tomorrow is what I was grateful for today, what would I have”
Love
My son and husband are my world. Being with them makes my heart swell with love. My family as a whole. Good friends. Delicious foods, not always gourmet stuff, give me great take out anyday. Being challenged, excelling in the challenge and then getting recognition for it.
Read
I am a big fan of fantasy. More scifi and alternative history than D&D type of fantasy. I used to love chicklit when I was a lot younger until I picked up my first Earth Child Series book and discovered the kind of worlds books can create. My reading took a big knock when I was pregnant, my attention span was gone and it took a long time to get it back.
Want
To be successful, don’t we all? I want to be successful in my weightloss and health journey. I want to be a successful parent. I want to be successful in whatever career I find myself in throughout my life. I want to live successfully with as little regret as possible. This year I have decided to stop waiting for things to be “right”, if I can do it I will.
Wear
There is a meme that says “My favorite fashion style is called “I wasn’t planning on getting out of the car” that is often me. Being overweight to the extent I am, it’s difficult to find stuff that looks good and doesn’t bankrupt me. I do my best with what I have and it will be interesting to see how it changes as my journey change what I can and will wear. I also really love corsets and wish I had more reasons to wear.
Need
A holiday. A real all out holiday, with trekking and discovering. Somewhere I haven’t been to so that my soul and mind can become richer and my knowlege broader and my heart humble. We are planning a trip to iceland in 2018, I am betting that will go a long way to filling that need
