#organicallygorgeous

I really feel that connecting with the people I have here on tumblr has made me a better person in so many different ways. And it's made me more... me. I have met such a wonderful group of women who have unknowingly contributed to my life and my happiness.

I am more and more accepting of and comfortable in my own body, mind, and life.

I have learned to go after what I want, aggressively (for lack of a better word), instead of hoping and planning and ~seeing how things go~. I have stopped saying "I'll try". I say "I will".

I have gorgeous, healthy female role models I can strive to emulate in their approach to food and fitness, and in life (in my own special lil way).

They inspire me on a daily basis to seek out the best parts of my life, and not to stand for less than I deserve. They inspire me to travel, to embrace my own style, to try great new activities and foods and even people.

I am more

confident

accepting

calm

determined

healthy

beautiful

happy

strong

excited

ambitious

thanks to these women, and I could not be more grateful and joyous to have somehow stumbled across all of your incredible souls.

Hello dear sweet everyone!

So, for a while now, I have the feeling that I kinda hit a "blog-plateau" if I may call it like that. I have the feeling that I have seen every picture of nice tanned and lean people, awesome food and workouts. Of course that is not true, but somehow all those pictures don't catch my attention anymore. I feel like I have become a mindless  blogger. Picture. Like. Reblog. Scroll. Picture. Like. Reblog. Scroll. And I doooooon't want that anymore! So I made a (for me) major blog decision. I want to be a personal blog. A lifeblr. Just like Ajita from oranicallygorgeous - she is gorgous- (sorry for stealing your theme). 

For you, my dear followers, this might mean that you will see more weird selfies and stupid reviews, and less super lean body pictures and food art pictures, than you might like. I am sorry if so. But I am still gonna do it :D

Wish me luck, because I think this is going to be harder for me than I think right now, haha! Kissiessssss,

XO Maud

She’s so beautiful!! I see you in her xx
