A week of transition ✨

 I have decided a week ago to start over. To reinvent myself.  My image. Glow the .... up. I tried in the past and failed.  Obviously.  Something happened. I can't explain why or what happened.  But let me back up and try to explain.  


3 years ago,  I had my PAO hip surgery.  Major trauma 💔 😢 😪 


I will tell that story later on. But for now all you need to know is that after surgery I felt weak. I felt so different.  A stranger to myself.  I no longer knew who I was. I let the cerebral palsy control me.  My pain. My emotions,  everything.  Physically I grew tired of trying to walk. I binged on foods. Chips. Chocolate. Cookies.  Anything I could eat, I would.  For years.  


So naturally I gained wait. 


Now I grew sad.  Always watching my kids play.  I want to play with them.  But couldn't.  I was too in pain and exhausted. 


I said  enough! I have had enough.  I am done feeling sorry for myself. 


I started exercising.  In the beginning of this week this was exhausting and its so difficult. 


I guess my midset need to change.  And now I look forward to exercising.  I love how I am trying.  I am so not perfect at this.  I. Fact, it's safe to say I am a beginner because I have to modify a ton. But I am continuing to try. 


My hope is to grow stronger to play with my kids.. and grow into loving myself,  my body and my life. This is my journey of transition ✨

Turning Point

The last four months have been difficult. My Cerebral Palsy has a mind of it's own and is testing me. My leg is over worked and over tired. And I am over it! I don't like taking my frustrations out on my family. I am newly married, and though I love it, I don't like putting this added weight onto my husband. He keeps telling me it will be ok. And maybe it will be, but it just doesn't seem fair to anyone that I am upset, so they should be too. I admit I am stressed and irritable. I am angry, hurt and miserable. The Hell I endure daily is something I cannot describe to any one. I try, but words fail me. My body is failing me. I am failing me.... So this night, I say, I am done with all the negativity. I am turning things around. I am strong I can endure. I don't know what the future holds for me, but I do know that, yes, indeed. Things will be ok.

Out of the Darkened Shadowes of my Eyes

Another night of tossing and turning and dealing with my pain and Demons. It is 6 am, as I write the house is still. I love this moment. A moment of my own, where my thoughts are still asleep. This is the time I focus my energy into creating a life I want and need. Not to say I am not happy now. For the most part I am. I also know I am a mess. My mind and body is always "ON". Where the heck is the off switch? I feel I am withing reach of the light beyond the dark, just need to reach a bit farther.....

Scattered thoughts and debris

It's OK if things don't go according to plan. Thing happen. It's OK to keep an open mind, to be flexible.... I am feeling very scattered, unfocused. How do I pull focus from a place I can't grasp, comprehend or name? I am feeling very cranky and ridged. Is this how it is going to be? No, I know it is not, at least not for an extended period of time. In my mind it is a different story.... Just keep breathing, when I have a moment to draw breath. Everything feels so heavy. It takes effort with everything I do. Why is that? Am I what people are telling me? Am I more? or am I less. Trying to find balance behind the chaos. I also know I am not making much sense. How do I prevent that? How is it I can be so aware of the mess, yet not be my whole self at 100 percent? All these questions, never answers. Or am I not listening again? Stop asking questions, learn to LOOK.....
