Throw back to 2014. Picture taken by my daughter in Port Moody. So much has happened since that year. So much personal work and so many changes. The flow of life with its ups and downs. Challenges and lessons. Hopes and dispare. Working on becoming strong but moldeable like trees in the middle of the storm. The Work is constant and never ending until we return home. #reflections #crowpose #nature #naturaleza #growth #upsanddowns #beingmyself #respectingmyself (at Port Moody, British Columbia)

Back to healthy living because the alternative is doing a number of annoying things to my body. Skin breaking out, not quite at my goal but close, among other annoying things. In the last 3 months I've really been getting in touch with me #datingmyself listening to my wants/needs, especially my body. My body had been rewarding me by slimming down and by being more forgiving when I do eat trash. I'm less likely to hold onto fat now. I haven't been eating well but when I did my energy was up, I didn't need as much sleep, I didn't crave sugar, my moods were balanced, my thoughts were focused and overall I was happier. So, back to #respectingmyself more consistently. #GrowForwardNOW #healthyliving #healthyeating #donteattrash #respect #respectyourself #respectyourbody #respectme #respectlife #dateyourself #eatgoodfeelgood #eatrightgettight

Summer officially starts tomorrow! Maddie is excited about gym time more than I am. Two a days begins, along with detox, meal prepping, and the soul cleanse. Plus, hopefully getting to lie out if there's no rain. #GettingMeBack #RespectingMyself #LovingMeSomeMe #HealthyMe

Guys that approach me with “hey sexy” get the side eye. In my head, sexy doesn’t equate to beautiful, it doesn’t even equate to “You’re attractive”…it means “you’re at least fuckable”. I don’t believe in being an asshole for no good reason so usually I respond with a “thanks” and keep it moving. Years of jackassery have left a bad taste in my mouth…its not that I’m bitter, I think I’m just skeptical to the point of not engaging the situation at all. As far as I’m concern, most guys don’t want a whole bunch, and I’m fresh outta time to be concerned with the little that they do want…so not engaging becomes my best option. I’m pretty sure that there is some really great guy out there made just for me, but as the last 7 years I’ve only manage to get a whole bunch of “hey sexy’s” that have lead nowhere but drama. Hopefully, “the One” will have something better on deck like a “Hey, my name is blah blah. What’s yours?” …otherwise I’m gonna miss out because I’m not going to give him the time of day. #IJS
