I've been debating starting a blog for years now. I always thought it would be a lot of work or that it would just add one more thing to my long list of things to do weekly. I'm not a writer, nor have I ever wanted to be one. I have some interesting life stories and I have thought about writing them down before but never seemed to have the time or the real will to want to do it. So why am I writing now? A new year is just days away and during the course of this month I have been thinking what would my New Years resolution would be this year. My normal answer would be to lose weight just like thousands of other women, but I know in my heart that I won't keep it. Holding myself accountable is something I struggle with as I am sure most people do. I have the greatest intentions all the time to want to change myself but life gets in the way and I give up.
I decided to make my journey to self improvement public. Not because I want everyone to know my business or that I am looking for fame and glory because I am sure I won't receive that... but because if I keep writing and people keep reading than it will hold me accountable for my actions.
I have been self reflecting about things I want for myself and its more than just to lose weight, its my personal image as a whole. Its also my relationship with my husband and my 8 year old son. Its the not putting myself first ever or never making time for the things I love to do. I want to be able to look through magazines and stop wishing I had *her* body or those legs. I want to go into a store and love to shop since I fit in all the cute clothes. The fancy hair and make up that I adore on pinterest but never seem to be able to do to myself or even have a place to go to wear that amazing up do or dark smokey eye. I want to love shoe shopping without wondering when would I even ever wear those heels?
I have always loved mythology and how the different Goddesses all portray an attributes that I would love to see in myself. Aphrodite the Goddess of beauty, Hera the Goddess of marriage and Athena the Goddess of strength. The list goes on and on and I so wish that I could embody these Goddesses so that I can grow stronger as a wife, mother and woman in general. So I have themed this blog with the help of the Goddesses, in the hopes that I can overcome the identity I have now and grow into the woman I have always wanted to be.
