You may think you already know why I've decided that it's time to change some habits and kick life up a gear.
And no, it's not just because I've become a little too familiar with the scales.
Truthfully, this journey has been years in the making.
It's been shaped by motherhood and all that comes with it. By healing after giving birth. By finding the strength to leave an unhealthy relationship and learning to stand on my own two feet. By raising a child on my own, working full-time, studying, navigating difficult jobs, stress, migraines, heartbreak, and all the many decisions that life asks us to make.
Like so many women, I've spent years putting one foot in front of the other and simply doing what needed to be done.
But recently, some things have brought me back to what really matters.
My sister has undergone a procedure that may help protect her from the bowel cancer that runs through our family. And with rising costs forcing me to let go of my health insurance, I've been reminded that there are some things we simply can't afford to ignore.
Our health is one of them.
So tonight, as I sit beside the fire with a glass of wine and write this, I wonder if perhaps you might take a moment for yourself too.
Find a quiet place.
Grab a journal.
And ask yourself:
🌿 What keeps coming to mind as you've followed this story?
🌿 What habits or distractions are quietly taking up more space in your life than you'd like?
🌿 If nothing changed over the next five years, would you be happy with where you're heading?
These aren't questions that need immediate answers.
I'm still discovering mine.
But maybe that's where change begins—not in grand gestures, but in simply being honest with ourselves.
That's what this year is about for me.
Growing food.
Moving my body.
Finding peace.
Nourishing my health.
And learning, one season at a time.
I'll be sharing plenty online, but more via email. I'd love to have you along for the journey. 💚
