Single, Sleepless Sac-Town Mom.: I Have Arrived

After months of writing this little blog and convincing myself that yes, there are at least four people who DO read it, I've finally had the big pay-off.

I received an email from "Jason" on Sunday night, thanking me for writing the post on "How To Date A Single Mom." I have no idea where Jason lives, what his age is, whether he's the boy-next-door or the next Ted Bundy. You gotta love the anonymity of the Internet.

What I do know is that Jason is dating a single mom. Has been for a few months. I also know that he did a search on Google to find tips on how to date a single mother. Lo and behold, he found me. Well, he found my blog.

Now I can really appreciate the connectivity of the blogging world.

And Jason, best of luck to you with your single mom gal!

Luscious-ness

Health and vitality are luscious. Feeling good is luscious. Life is luscious.

Here is where I write about wellness:

http://luscious-ness.blogspot.com/

Once, I weighed in at over 200 pounds. I existed on fast food. I detested the idea of exercise. I lacked motivation. My weight held me back in every aspect of life.

Twenty years later, I'm a brand new person. I like to think of myself as a resource for fitness. I advocate for foods that heal. I love to see change. To me, a perfect body is a healthy body.

On this blog, you'll find recipes (I love to cook) and information on new supplements and exercise trends. I've also chronicled my own health struggles with endocrine issues and I have shared the dietary program that I currently follow (no sugar, no grains).

I like to share information. I'm not an expert. I miss frozen yogurt, mochas and pancakes. But I love feeling good more than I love a good bowl of pasta.

I'm going to be 40 this year. I always thought a tattoo would be a great way to commemorate this milestone age, but now I'm not so sure.

My clients and students tell me that teaching is my calling. I think that I might do many, many things in my life. Any of them could be my calling. I can tell you exactly what I'll be doing tomorrow. Next week might be completely different. I kind of hope that it is.

Life is full of suffering and sadness. I often wonder how we do it; how we make our way, despite the ever-constant challenges of sheer existence. The silver lining often isn't radiant enough to see.

Sometimes, I have to slow down and breathe. I like to create experiences for my yoga students; experiences that temporarily take them from the rigidity of real life. A great playlist helps.

Having a child expanded my heart. Motherhood redefined my identity. My idea of gratitude was forever changed. A career will always take a backseat to time with my child.

I wish that good health was more of a priority in our society. I'd like it if mothers took more time for themselves. I hope that I can touch the lives of the people around me in a way that makes a profound difference.
