New Year 2014

By
2013 was beyond words. I married my best friend, went on an amazing and romantic honeymoon, met amazing people that I will never forget and reconnected with family that I let slip through the cracks. 2013 was by far the best year on record. But 2014 brings about a new set of exciting ā€“ starting the life that I know I deserve. Every year I make a list of resolutions that I rarely keep (which is the first problem) but this year I have a much different and better outlook on the year and what I want to accomplish. I feel confident. I feel radiant. I know that this year will be amazing and better than last year because I want it to be. If you want something bad enough you just have to go out and get it, no matter what it takes. That is what I plan on doing this year. I have made a few resolutions and I plan on keeping every single one of them. I also created a 30 by 30 list as this is the last year in my 20ā€™s. I know I will accomplish everything on that list come hell or high water.
I have confidence in myself and know that I am strong enough to complete anything I set my mind to. I just have to be willing to work for it. I will admit a lot of things have come easily to me ā€“ finding my wife was honestly one of the easiest things. I just happened to find her in the most likely of places but it was easy how well we clicked and became something to each other. Isnā€™t that supposed to be one of the hardest things? With that being so easy, the other things in my life are bound to be not as easy ā€“ finding a job, finding a place to live, having a family. But no matter how hard things get, the outcome will out weight everything. It took us 2.5 years to put on the wedding and it was the best day of my life and well worth the weight. Everything else in my life ā€“ the family, the house ā€“ will be worth the wait. I just have to realize that I am not ready yet but I will be soon and that what I am doing now is helping me get there.
For 2014 I cannot go anywhere but up and as long as I keep a positive attitude towards life and everything around me I will be just fine. Everything will be fine. I recently read somewhere that the more you dwell on the negative instead of the positive you will start to deteriorate from the inside out. Is that the way anyone should live their life? I think not.
So here are my resolutions for 2014. This year more than ever I feel confident that I will succeed as long as I remember why I am keeping these and what the end result will be:
1. Reach goal weight (160)
2. Finish all items on 30 by 30 List (January 2015)
3. Be more positive
4. Keep workout routine going
5. Stop apologizing for the things that make you happy
6. Live and smile
I hope everyone can create a resolution list and stick to it. As long as you have something to hold on to, you will make 2014 the best year for the best you.ļ»æ

What feeds your soul?

By
What feeds your soul? This is a very large question filled with incredible, easy to discover answers but sometimes the hardest to put into practice. As a new mom (daughter, 14 months) I have had a hard time feeding my soul without feeling guilty. Every time I do something for myself that feeds my soul (reading, writing, watching my favorite TV show or movie) I feel guilty that I am not spending that time with my daughter. Even if my daughter is asleep or playing by herself which my wife and I want her to be able to do I still feel guilty that I am taking the time for myself instead of her.  The joys of motherhood! dTaking a step back for a moment, what does feeding your soul mean? In the simplest sense it means doing something that you love and/or are passionate about. No one can find out what you love other than you but some things could include reading, meditating, yoga, soaking in the bath, writing, anything. The choice is up to you. But the thing you have to learn is feed...

Once Upon A Time

By
Out of all of the new shows I had decided to watch this year, it comes as so surprise that the one show I have kept up with the most is the show from the same producers as Lost ā€“ Once Upon A Time.    The show is about a boy, Henry, who believes that his town ā€“ Storybrooke, Maine ā€“ is really the Enchanted Forest and everyone has forgotten who they are. He came to that idea from a book he was given by his teacher, Mary Margaret who Henry believes is really Snow White.   He believes his adoptive mother, Regina, is really the Evil Queen, his therapist is Jiminy Cricket, the John Doe in the hospital is Prince Charming, and the one who can save everything is Emma, his birth mother who gave him up for adoption 10 years ago. And did I mention that Henry believes Emma to be the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming?   Henry also believes that the Evil Queen cast a curse on the whole Enchanted Forest which is why they canā€™t remember who they are. Still with me? Good. Letā€™...

New Year's Resolutions!

By
When January 1 st rolls around, one of the first things anyone thinks of is resolutions. Everyone makes resolutions even if they donā€™t realize they are making any. Some of the most common ones are joining a gym, losing weight, eating healthier and saving money. Think back to your past New Yearā€™s. How many resolutions did you make? How many did you keep? That is what this post is about ā€“ making those resolutions and keeping them. I know firsthand that keeping resolutions isnā€™t easy. I canā€™t count how many I have thought of and subsequently not kept because of one thing or another. We come up with these promises around the end of the year or even New Yearā€™s Day that we know if we do these few little things our lives will be better, more fulfilled. We think that these promises will make for a happier life than the year before.   We have every intention of keeping these promises to ourselves and doing them throughout the year. But then, work gets crazy, the kids need to be driven ever...
