How I did it: I remembered reading about forgiveness letters in Iyanla Vanzant's Value in the Valley then I looked for sample letters online. I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect format, then I realized that I just needed to do it. This perfect summer day felt like a peaceful time to dig deep. I also burned the letters afterwards. Read how I did it…
How I did it: This is something I've been trying to do for *months*. 2 hours of exercise a day for 14 days. I really had to clear my sked to do it. I also had to be super selfish with my time; leaving to go to the gym on some days, before my daughter woke up, getting home after she fell asleep other days. I had to make the time and budget for late night taxis and trainer time, the whole kit and caboodle. But I wanted to re… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My husband let me sleep in until noon on Christmas day. It doesn't sound like a big deal but I haven't slept till noon since before the baby was born and before I was pregnant. I kept getting up, then falling asleep again and getting up and falling asleep again. Going in and out of dreams. It sounds a little loopy, but as a perpetually sleep deprived Mom it was really exciting. Now, I keep thinking about when I can sleep… Read how I did it…
of that Gwen Stefani song, “Luxurious” and being rich in love. I come back to 43T so infrequently now, but am so glad to have my goals here, to see how consistent they are, to know that as soon as I can carve sometime again, my dreams are here waiting for me.
Cheers to all of you 43T folks, doing your thing!
Boy have I missed it. Today, I’m grateful
1) to be back on 43T and to have cheers waiting for me. And to be able to dole a few cheers out.
2) for a plan to look at my exercise and nutrition goals anew this weekend.
3) for my job, even if it’s challenging these days. My sister lost her job a few weeks ago & even though she says she’s “funemployed,” I know the uncertainty is difficult (Though yeah for her for going to museums, and seeing friends and fixing up her house.)
4) this being my daughter’s first Christmas when she’s on the lookout for Santa
5) for a nice Thanksgiving with my Mom, stepDad, husband and bambina. Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free.
1) Cdngirl2 keeping in touch on 43T and Facebook. I love our virtual Mommy friendship!
2) My little girl. She is so sassy and funny and her own person and I love her so much it makes my heart hurt.
3) Boxing class. I don’t like to overemphasize losing weight, but I recognize myself in the mirror again and I LOVE that.
4) My J-O-B. I’m glad to have it.
5) My sweet husband.
6) Finding a little boutique with a huge sale downtown. Got a pretty necklace for me and a book and a set of blocks for the bambina.
7) Summer.
8) My husband just handed me an ice-cold mojito. See number 5 on this list.
9) Carmen Miranda movies!
