Time to shout

There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:

This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel , love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me...or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.

My Birthday, the beginning of a journey

Today I turn 49..for the next year I am going on a journey..a journey to be a better me. Why? Because next year, not only am I turning 50, I am getting married for the second time. I want to feel and look fabulous..don’t get me wrong, I feel pretty good now…but I can, and want, to be better. So, starting today I am going to do at least one thing each day, just for me..to help ME  become a better person…and I am going to stop talking about eating better and moving more, I am going to do it because now, I have a goal..to be 50 and fantastic and look like a 30 year old bride (or at least 40). I am going to write about what I do, what I eat, how I move, and what I did to become a better human being, each day.  This is for me…but if you are reading this and want to come along on my journey..welcome and here we go…
Today is my Birthday…and today I am not going to have any negative thoughts about anyone, I will be as kind as my grandma, she could always find the one good thing in the worst possible thing/person/place…being like her is something I aspire to..and, what better day to start anew and be more positive, then the day I was born…today I channel my grandma..and hopefully it will leak into tomorrow and the next day..and the next…………….

PS…because it’s my birthday, I am going to eat whatever I want…because you get to do that on your birthday!!

pps: my lovely fiance also got me a mani/pedi...so that counts a little toward becoming a better me...and it felt fabulous!!
