2015-The Year of ME

I'm BACK!  It took a while, but here I am.  I tell you it would be so much stinkin easier to blog if I could somehow do it on my phone like I can on a computer.  Maybe I'll figure out how to voice command blogs?  If so, be prepared for some good auto-text fails.

So 2013 was the year of realization and 2014 was supposed to be the year of change.  It was a little, but not a lot and not like I needed it to be.  2015 is the year of ME! Those that know me well can probably guess how the year's intentions started- a detailed list of like 40 resolutions all written out with frequency in a month to work on them and what days to focus on which resolutions.  HA!

Now that we are two months into this year, I've realized some big stuff.  Well, mainly one big thing.  It all starts with ME!  And Him, but he is part of working on ME.  My friends and family are always saying "you need to take some time for yourself" "you are so hard on yourself" and so on and so forth.  I was always like "sure, as soon as I have time I'll get right on that."  But, I've realized in the past two months, THEY WERE RIGHT!  I WAS WRONG!  Record it in history folks, I was wrong!

All the things I want to change, all the time I want to spend with HIM, it all starts with ME.  How I feel about myself, I mean REALLY FEEL!  How I treat myself and let others treat me.  How much I love myself the way He loves me.  How I spend my time, energy and emotions.  How I treat my body, my mind, my spirit.  It all comes down to I've been treating myself like crap.  And I'M CHANGING THAT!

 I've had some really great inspiration.  I have to think the Brave Girl's Club, Tabitha Evan's page "Inspiring Sanity, my mom for getting me the subscription to One Little Word, and Sarah LaVallee (sorry if I'm spelling that incorrectly Sarah)!  Also Destinee Grable and her awesome yoga practice posts on Facebook and SO many of my friends who have been so supportive and so determined in opening up my eyes to what the real change needs to be- JP, Jonna, Shannon, Leona, Lori, just to name a few.

One Little Word is about choosing a word to focus on for the year.  Each month there are prompts for your word.  Some are crafty and some are more of a journaling type of exercise.  I really had a hard time choosing my word.  I kept throwing around Renew, Transform, Change, and most of all Freedom.  Then it hit me today after a whirlwind month for me personally and professionally- ME.  So that is my word for the year and that is what I will be focusing on-ME. 

So come along on this journey with me.  Love to you all!
