Phew! I am astonished and amazed at the time that has gone by since my last blog post! Man, where has this year gone? Wait...I know! I GOT MARRIED! YIPPEE! It was an AMAZING year, this 2011, and I have never been happier!
So, lets fill you in on a couple of things:
Since my last blog, as I was talking about insecurity....I have found some real inner peace with myself. It actually happened on my Honeymoon in August at the Beach. Let me explain....
OF COURSE you are gonna feel a little bit insecure on your first honeymoon night. You are nervous, excited, anticipatory, and so full on the fumes of your blissful wedding, that you almost forget that you are about to get completely naked in front of your spouse. ( I told you this blog is not for the faint of heart....and hey...we are married.) Anyways, you want that moment you walk out of the bathroom to be the ultimate picture of that supermodel that walks out, hair blowing in the wind, slight bite to the lip, perfect picture of sexy. Well, honey, if you don't know me, then you have no idea, I am 5'4", chunky, and blessed in areas that REQUIRE a bra. And let me just tell you....spandexy stuff with a fake cinched area ain't holding my puppies up. Can I get an Amen ladies? Anyways, I walk out, nervous, excited, ready...and my husband looks at me and treats me like I am the beauty queen I never thought I was. Beautiful. The majority of my personal insecurity flew out the window at. that. very. moment.
So, as we are enjoying ourselves at the beach, and I am sipping coffee one day flipping through our pictures on the digital camera, I feel a teensy little bit of my insecurity coming back. I am in a bathing suit, not at some of the best angles in the pictures, and I thought....oh my gosh! And then I start this tearing my whole self apart again. So as I sit there having my little pity party....I realize. You know what? THIS IS ME. This is what people see when they see me, and actually, people like me. Hey, I even like me. No shame in that! And then I beat insecurity down again with two punches and an elbow to the face! Take that! And it was then that I realized, even though I had read about, and been talked to about, and been preached to about before, that I am who I am. And you know what? I like myself, and that is OK. There may be some areas of my body that I don't particularly care for, and I can change those things. That is in MY power. Aaaaand there's the knock out to end insecurity blow! Needless to say, I left my honeymoon refreshed and ready to tackle the world. Which brings me to my next subject.....Resolutions!
It's been a wonderful 2011 as I was saying before. Lots of wonderful things fell in place for me, and I thank my Heavenly Father, Family, Husband, and Friends. And all that is Capitalized because they are important!
I started my in home care business that boomed near the end of the year....I married the most amazing man, who is gentle, kind, understanding, loyal, loving, and due my respect. I had some of the most memorable family moments, and grew closer to my Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister-in-Law, than I ever have before. I was able to break that glass ceiling and move some mountains in my career, and my health has just been getting better and better. I couldn't have asked for a better year, and I am beyond blessed.
Well, as the year has gone, and new year, has come, and its time to talk about resolutions. I actually have some really great ones this year....fun, quirky, serious, self-helping, and of course the normal. But, since this blog is running a tad bit long, I want to break that down tomorrow in a blog. Hint: One of my fun resolutions is to make a conscience effort to write in my blog at least 3 days per week. So, Here is numero uno....and tomorrow should be good! So, I hope to see your beautiful faces here again tomorrow, and like always....
Love and kisses to my readers!
Amy
