Good Intentions

I am a person with good intentions on something's. things that relate to my personal goals, more than anything. I can't figured out when I became that person, but I am that person today. So now, at the advice of my husband, I am not announcing my intentions. I am going to go after whatever it is that I have the ability to get. I have to stop letting my fear or good intentions stop me. 

What will be my divas? I am not sure yet, but I will figure it out and the rest of the world will know by my results and not my good intentions!

Emotional Needs

Figuring out your emotional needs can be a challenge. Especially when u believe what you need is simple. It is when someone asks you specific questions related to the common emotional needs, that you realize how complex those needs are. The trouble comes with only wanting or needing them at specific times. Our lives are never just black and white, even though we have convinced ourselves that it is. We want so bad for life to be as clear as water, but if we truly examine water, it is clear, but yet complex.

Go Cincinnati

Today, we participated in the Go Cincinnati with our church Crossroads! It was awesome! The kids were great and we even had the Smith's boys with us. Five kids total! Romian and I work well with the kids. They didn't complain. Four hours working at the Columbia Tusculum Garden. It was great to work in our City that we call home!

Hooray!

I can blog from my phone!  Too excited!! This will be the page that I share just my experience or quirky quotes that I like!

Paleo Challenge

I've decided to change my eating habits to the Paleo diet.  The original challenge is for 31 days, but I know from my past experience, I will need more than 31 days.  I am on day three and Day 2 was a real challenge for me.  I am trying to stay strong and focus, that I focus too much on what I am going to eat next.  This causes me to believe I am hungry when I am not.  I guess I am still  winning the battle, I haven't cheated and i am honest about my struggle. 

On this Day 3 of this challenge, I didn't have a fulfilling breakfast.  I also, left my wonderful lunch at home.  I guess, I will be visiting ingredients for lunch to day for their power salad.  I must say it keeps me full or I may go to Chipotle.  I haven't been there in a while, I love their salads.

I do feel good and optimistic about my journey.  I am just praying they have something I can eat at Whiz Kids tonight, I can get a little cranky, when I don't eat.

Starting Again

I am going to start again with this blogging.  I am sure noone is going to read it, but it is for my own peace of mind.

I will write the quotes that I often write to myself.

The quote that stuck out to me today is from Rhianna's new song:

If I open up my eyes/I can see the storm, I can see the flashing lights/All my fears won't deny/let me stay lost in paradise.

We all tend to let ourselves get lost in a place that keeps us from being happy or gives us a quick fix of happiness.  What is paradise?  How do we get lost in paradise?  Is it really paradise?

I am always searching.  I think it is what makes me feel alive, but sometimes it masks my fear. I am my worst storm, I have to let myself go....to be who I am destined to be....

The Challenge

Shopping is the only thing I will do when I spend time with myself.  It is my friend and it makes me happy.  Eventhough I am not at my ideal size.  The time has come for me to find other things to do with my time.  I have too many clothes.  Most women would say, no, but it is true. 

This week, my husband had to put his foot down.  He says we don't have enough room for all my clothes.  I told him that a long time ago.  I had already decided that I would not shop anymore, but of course, he has motivated me even more.  As I learn more about myself, I am up for the challenge of changing how I view shopping.  In order to detox myself, I am not shopping at all and I will challenge myself to wear everything I own at least once in the next 6 months. 

I will try to take pictures and keep an update of how certain outfits make me feel.  Why am I doing that?  Hopefully, it will help me clean out some clothes that I don't need and I need to loose the dream of ever fitting them again.

What a challenge, especially since I finally live in a city with "The Limited"!
