Personal Update

 I am sorry for the lack of blog posts. But over the past month I got very sick. I am still not quite sure how I got sick I just know that I did. We need to remember to listen to our bodies and when we are tired and feeling a little run down to take a break and give ourselves time to recharge! Being a busy mother, trying to really work on a small business and do the day to day things, sometimes I forget to stay in tune with what my body is telling me and I find myself always on the go, go, go.

I was sick for about a week and then in the Hospital for six days. I had pneumonia as well as a Viral infection among other things. I was on Oxygen, and a lot of med's, and I am still recovering. It will be a while before I am back 100% but I didn't let this little road block set me back. I know that God has a reason for everything and I probably just needed some good rest, and to stop trying to make everyone else happy for a change and let other people do for me. That is something I struggle with a lot. Letting others do for me. I am a very independent person and I am a people pleaser sometimes to a fualt. But I am learning that it is ok to sit back and let other people wait on you from time to time!

  Like that beautiful flower that continues to grow every year,You can plant yourself and grow to your potential, if provided you plant yourself in the right environment. I choose to be planted and grow every day. To nourish myself with fresh thoughts about the day I am in, and look forward to improving myself daily. I will plant myself in humility, I will water myself with success, I will sun myself in gratitude.

I have been through a lot this past month and through it all I am feeling very blessed! I love that we as people continue to grow and learn each day. Life is such a great journey and I plan on making the most of it learning, and growing into the best me I can be.. For myself, my family and God.

A lifetime is not what is between the moments of birth and death.
A lifetime is one moment between your two little breaths.
The present, the here, the now, that’s the life you get.
Live each moment in full, in kindness, in peace, without regret.

I am looking forward to an amazing Father's Day weekend with my family. I am definitely taking advantage of this time I have to relax and focus on other things. Movies, and play time, the park and church. Little precious moments with my kids those things are so important to me. I am still just as devoted to my healthy and clean lifestyle as well as getting exercise and working out, I just have shifted my focus a little right now and it is a nice breath of fresh air. I can still focus on the Health of it all and at the same time focus on the beauty of it all and the process that goes with this thing called life!
