I don’t want to write about this when I got it all figured out and I have had a year, heck, a month of proper sleep … I don’t want to look back with wisdom I have gained but lost the true feeling at the time.
I want to write while I am looking back on THIS day THIS month and go flip, I failed but it is a new day tomorrow and I have got to learn from this.
It feels more real, like my heart is beating with yours because maybe you can identify.
Identify because you are transparent- just like me. The one who is trying, learning, failing and conquering! HA !
Identify because maybe you feel just like me
Identify because maybe you nothing like me but you hear my words.
Identify because maybe you don’t have 4, 5, 6 kids but you feel like you do!
Identify because you do have 4, 5, 6 kids& part of your life is fine but another things you ARE finding difficult.
Identify because, YES, we are equal. We are all human (dammit really? I thought I was superhuman!!??)
Identify because no matter what, you ARE made to parent. To be counted on. To be a giver, carer, lover, provider.
Identify because you chose love.
Why?
Because that’s your path. You were blessed with kids whether biological or not you ARE a parent & you were destined to be. That’s your position.
So get real with me. We don’t always love our jobs & sometimes we stuff up. Like big time. God knows your heart though … So be kind to yourself and others like you and let’s get real.
I have had a journey to share.
That’s because God made us so awesome. Let’s be awesome.
Blue Water Lane has a sister blog called Creative Stream ♥ Check it out.
Eat right
Having a thyroid problem is not fun on your body. It’s very demotivating & if you have an under active thyroid it’s harder to loose weight and stay fit.
This year began with a nasty realization that if my thyroid comes right, it doesn’t mean I loose the weight instantly ! Infact I’m going to have to work VERY hard at loosing the extra weight, keeping it off & then working with the fatigue and sluggishness when trying to exercise.
The best way I’ve found to do this (and I’m still learning) is to take it 1 step at a time.
So what are these steps?
- Eat clean
- Listen to your body as you make these changes
- One week has 1 new goal. Don’t plunge in thinking you super women or superman
- Drink LOADS of water
- Choose an exercise schedule that links with your body and lifestyle
- Be fair on yourself
- Don’t look at others !!
- Thyroid issues are REAL and it’s hard to get yourself back but not impossible
So I’m also learning to use these key points. It’s hard with two young kids. But you HAVE to make tiny steps. You HAVE to start somewhere. Do it not only for your family but FOR YOU!

Don’t you just love it when you see the him in them? It’s crazy how it’s all happens. I mean you are one person who comes to meet another person and you make another person from like, scratch! And then they become!
Become like you and in this case like him. She is like her dad through and through and you know what else is special? He just ‘gets’ her! That is a blessing man. True, real and sincerely special blessing ♥
