A new spin~

  We have been settling into our new digs in New Mexico, I have been a full time working mommy for 2 weeks now and the kiddos have been in preschool for almost 3 weeks.  I am really enjoying living here, YES it is much different BUT it is a big family environment and lots of family activities which is key considering I have the trio!  Today we got them all settled with clothes to play in the snow and this coming weekend we will ring in the new year sledding and enjoying nature. 
  For several weeks I have been wanting to progress with my blog, it is my outlet.  It is my way to connect, and to put feelings out there.  What kind of feelings am I attempting to put out there?  What are my plans?  Who do I want to be able to reach with my musings if you will?  I spoke with my best friend last week and she has a very successful blog, her advice was simple--be committed, and stick with some sort of theme.  Simple so it seems, right?  WRONG. 
  This year I have truly overhauled myself, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and I have been so happy with the progress.  I went off social media, yes I am nearly 7 months sober from Facebook!  I joke but honestly I spent more time looking through others lives than really LIVING my own.  I still do have Instagram because that is the one thing I can keep in contact with everyone and see pictures of everyone!  Win!  I think the route I am taking this blog is simple, the life of a working mom, a military spouse, and all things in between!  I am so proud of my children, they are my light!  They literally are hilarious.  I want to share my blessings, to share my yoga journey, to share beautiful pictures I find breathtaking.  I want to keep this real, and I hope that I can connect with others on a bigger level. 
  For most that know me personally know that I have struggled with depression for most of my young adult and now older adult life.  This is something that I share because I believe that there might be just one person who can relate, and that is a priceless gift.  I have been to rock bottom and literally clawed myself back up.  My parents have been my rock, my mother in law has been my best friend, my children and my husband have brought me light when I needed it.  Depression does not discriminate and sadly can affect anyone, but reaching out and realizing that you are not alone is another huge thing.  It is VITAL to ask for  help, to reach out.  To make that phone call to a friend, a family member.  Like my best friend stated so well the other day, while we live in such a digital age we tend to use things like texting, Facebook, etc. in order to keep in contact.  Like she said, PICK UP THE PHONE!  Be it a text, a simply phone call.  That is my promise to myself as well as my few very dear friends that I love and cherish for 2015.  I do not like New Year's resolutions, I prefer a life style change.  That is the most important part. 

As I put my new blog thoughts out there I hope that people can give me feedback.  I want to incorporate exercise ideas for mom's on the go and even easy recipe swap perhaps!  I prefer anything in the crockpot since I have zero time now that I am working again.  I hope to reach more people, men and women alike! 

Tell me what you are looking for, and we can go from there!  Bring on 2015-this will be a beautiful year.

Namaste my friends-
Sarah
