Wow who knew answering the question, Who am I? Would be so difficult. This is the starting point of Revolutionizing ME because I need to figure out how to answer this question. Who am I? What makes me happy? What drives me? What more do I want to become?
I have lost myself, somewhere along the line. I know I am a Mama and my children are my world. I have a daughter who is 3 years old and a little man who is 8 months. They are incredible and everyday I am amazed by their accomplishments, generosity, honesty and innocence. I feel like every night I go to bed and by the morning they are bigger, more mature, faster, and stronger. I am also a wife to my best friend. He is an incredible man who is a devoted father and loves to spend as much time with his family. We love the outdoors and this summer have gone on a few camping trips and hiking adventures. We hope this winter to continue being outdoors and do some snowshoeing with the kids.
Apart from my family, I am athletic, even though I seem to have lost that along the way. I used to be very competitive in my sports and since having a shoulder injury have lost touch with my competitive side. I have become very seditary and unmotivated. Just thinking about exercising makes me tired. I want to become more active to improve my well-being and be able to show my children how important activity is. I want to be a good role model for my babies and help them develop the drive to be healthy and fit.
I am also a tinker...I love to get into things and find out how they work. I take a piece of clothing apart to learn how to make it and then put it back together with the sewing machine. I take the upholstery of my couch in a very organized fashion, so I can replace it with new upholstery. I always need a project, sometimes many which my husband despises. Previous to having my second child, my sister and I had a small baby accessory company. All the products were hand made by us. I loved creating unique functional items for mamas and babies. I am hoping with the changes to come starting this September that I will get back into creating more inventory for our company whether it be both of us continuing on the venture together or me taking it over solely.
I live to love everyone I know as much as I can, unfortunately that doesn't mean I love myself well because I don't. I live to laugh as hard and as often as I can. I live to dream whether it's huge dreams or small dreams and this is where I have decided to blog and commit to change. I have dreamt of a better me, a healthier me, a thinner me, a me with more energy for my children and myself, a more patient me, a me that is more capable to love and be loved. I want to laugh more!
