So I will try again.
After 16 months since I made a post, I think it is about time. The truth of the matter is if I had not
become Facebook junkie about 7 years ago, I think I would have continued to
blog my thoughts, my photos and definitely my memories. The nice thing about Facebook is you receive
more immediate feedback and validation comes within that. I don’t know about you, but I crave
affirmation. I think most of us do.
I have made a new decision this week. I am going to start a new blog and maybe
start posting on this one again on a regular basis. This was my 3rd
blog. My first was a business blog that
I see I haven’t posted since 2012…again Facebook was more effective. I started a business page and used it as
means to advertise, connect with others and share images from recent sessions,
which often led to new bookings. My 2nd
blog was inspired by my first granddaughter where I shared photos, memories and
special events in her life as viewed by Mimi, me. My 3rd was started after she moved
to Baton Rouge to blog about our lives or in other words journal about life in
my family that may not necessarily include her.
My new blog won’t be about memories or my loved ones
although I am sure they will creep into it too since they are so much of my
life. This one will be about my journey
into Whole30 living and whole living (sharing how God is making me whole
through recovery). Food is my drug of
choice. I will share as I begin a new
round of Whole30 and a brand new journey.
This past year I have dealt with some physical pain and emotional pain,
which led me into regressing and slipping back into some (many) of my old food
habits. Food for me is often my friend,
my comforter…my friend that leads me to destruction not my friend that leads
into Christ’s will for me. I know whole
eating can be my friend too in a healthy way.
When I began my first round in October 2015, it began to change me in a
most awesome way. I began to feel better
than I had in years! Everything in my
life seemed better except for my chronic back pain, which I hope to share more
on later. I should save the rest of my
Whole30 inspiration to the new blog. The
new blog will be to inspire others, hold me accountable (I even plan to share
my present weight and be real) and hopefully as I learn more about this type of
blogging I will be able to monetize it too. Prayerfully this is the direction that God
has been leading me too. I have been at
crossroads for a while now kind of stuck, not sure which way to go next. Have you ever been on that road?
For now I will share this photo that makes me smile. It means there is a crawling little one in our
family again. Children are a gift from
the Lord. She has brought much joy into
our lives. I keep her on Mondays and
Fridays. When she is here, you will hear
many ooohs and ahs from this Mimi and her Poppa too and lots of laughter from all
three of us. I will try to do some catching
up from some of my last posts. I will
designate a post or two all about Avery Kate: her birth story as viewed by
Mimi, some images from her newborn sessions, and some more images along the way
up to the present. So stay tuned if you
want to see hear more about the new blog or my family.
THAT'S IT FOR NOW. AS WE SAY IN SMALL GROUP, AS WE CONCLUDE OUR PERSONAL SHARE TIME AT CELEBRATE RECOVERY, "THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE".
ps: I couldn't leave you here without one recent image of our newest little one, our little Sweet Pea: Avery Kate...
This is from the mini session I took of her last Friday, St.Patrick's Day. This image is actually coming off the background a bit...but it will just have to remain that way because no way and I cropping those little fingers which I have to do to crop it out.
