I've been doing Whole 30...its been a journey and I keep a separate blog for it but I liked today's entry so I'm sharing it on this blog as well.
In Tune:
So whether you believe in God, earth elements, higher power...whatever it might be, its always a goal in life (at least in mine) to become closer to God. To be in tune with what he wants for me and what I can do for Him.
I have noticed that when I treat my body kindly, I become more in tune with nature, with everyday joys and miracles and with my God. I hear better, I see what He would like me to view in the world and am able to understand what an amazing gift I have been given. To have this body, imperfectly perfect as it is, to love it, to care for it and to enjoy it.
I speak with Him for freely, I enjoy his gift more whole and I appreciate everything more fully
You know what they say, when you love yourself, you can fully love other people, situations, things...life. Its true. I stop thinking about how I look, how others view me and what I have to do to survive the day in it. I start thinking of how the rain smells and sun feels, how great I feel and how I get to have another day in this body.
Going through the Whole 30 has been tough so far, and I'm sure its not over, but if this is one of the many benefits I get from it. Feeling in tune with myself, my life, my God. Then it has been well beyond worth it.

Lifes little pleasures
Do you know what I love about life, the little stuff. sure the big stuff is fabulous and what dreams are made from. But the little stuff is what keeps us whole, what makes us tick, what keeps us going. Here are a few of my life's little pleasures:
Running, feeling the air in my lungs, the burn in my legs, the momentum of my body. Just having me and my thoughts out there.
Chocolate, I love chocolate, adore it! its one of the things that I need in my life. I can't have to much of it because its so easy to let it get away from you but I'm going to have it always.
Reading, being able to fall in love with the characters, laughing with them, morning with them. I've actually gone into full blown depression when a character of mine is killed off, been angry when an injustice is done and sighed with happiness when they get what they want.
Music, music is the key to the soul. It can uplift you, mirror your anger or sorrow, amp you up or ground you.
Cute outfits. I haven't always been into fashion but once I discovered it, I fell in love. I love putting on an outfit and rocking the heck out of it...and knowing I do. :D
these are just a few of my little pleasures. I'm sure there is a billion more I could think of every day!
