I am a river winding in and out, up and down. My emotions calm, erratic, tranquil, rapid. And now I sit in another murky muck-like state of heaviness.

Friends are the worst. They ask you to do things that will move you past the gunk that holds you back from forward progress. They ask you to take part in things that open up your eyes to the possibility that your soul may be closed for business unintentionally, or that your inner voice isn’t connecting with your real-world message.

Time to clean house of all the cobwebs. Time to walk away from things that keep me in the past. Time to say goodbye to people who would like to see me down or dampened. Time clean house — the whole house.

Before I even began this whole blogging/sharing journey, I knew I wanted to have guest writers. When I was considering who to ask first, Anjua Maximo, Life & Movement Coach, was the first person that popped in my head.

For those of you who do not know Anjua Maximo, you will — trust me.

I don’t particularly want to share this shortcoming, but it is something I am wanting to work on during Project 42, so it would seem counter to my goal if I don’t —  and that is giving without expectation.

Getting lean is a practice in patience and faith. Most of my life I have not owned or subscribed to either the P or the F. Like many, I want it fast and now. I would spend more time looking up the “perfect” this or that vs. putting in those same hours to get my self fit or do some meal prep.

Sadness is a bitch. It comes from nowhere only to take you down at the knees. I am sitting in mine while holding someone else’s.

I am a big believer in gift giving the whole year-round. I mean, how much fun is it to receive a ‘Just Because’ present? “The most fun,” is the answer.

So when I was asked to write a Gift Guide, I was all in.

These can be gifts for you, gifts for another, or you can pass this gift guide on to a friend or lover that may need an idea or two… or 22.

First, everyone do me a favor and hide your wallets. And please remember that beauty routines and skincare are like diets —what works for one person isn’t going to be the next person’s holy grail.

I wasn’t the new mother who didn’t shower or have crazy 8-day old hair. I wore makeup when I wanted to, showered regularly and other than a sweet bald spot from post-pregnancy hair loss, sported pretty good hair most days.

I threw a 3-year tantrum, that’s how.

I wish I could say I was joking, but on many levels, this is the truth.

Mantras. This is going to be a doozy. 

I have heard, read and been taught conflicting things when it comes to what mantras are and how they are used. And when it comes to using them in the traditional sense, I have little experience.

I believe I would have felt I had a better answer to this before children. After children, I feel as if my emotions are residing in my throat, so any chance of “slowing my roll” before speaking seems to take more effort than it used to.

I used to be all for anti-aging. I think my obsession started in my 20s. Without a wrinkle in sight on my still round, baby face, I would put my money towards elixirs and potions and anything that hinted of a holy grail.

Dear Peeps, 

I’ve been putting the blog on pause to live life, it seems. It was not done on purpose, nor does it reflect my inactivity in life or pushing forward with project 42

How to find balance between one’s self and one’s family seems to be a tricky thing. 

I am currently sitting on a plane. I am away from my babes for longer than a day for the first time since conception. That is a weird thing to wrap my brain around.

I hate change.

Well, that isn’t exactly accurate. I adore change but hate those first days when every cell in my body is screaming at me, “Why woman?! What on earth are you doing to us? Let us be!!”
