SOB Chronicles

The plan doesn't work unless you do. Think about the truth this statement brings up.  Starting with the small conscience decisions to make improvement to your habits. Sobriety is a big key for my transition back to the self I was before. Having my son see me throwing up at the toilet and bringing me tylenol and water made me feel like a complete ugly failure. What an example for children, especially my youngest. That right there was the turning point again, and if we've been blogging family for awhile you know this is not my first rodeo with sobriety. My friends and family who I used to drink with have been really supportive and we still kick back together and have fun. Many thanks to you all, much love. Special props to the Renaissance man who has maintained his sobriety since we first made the decision many years ago.

Every year after New Years day I have my return to the sun. I'm the same age all year! This year marks 40, and milestone birthdays tend to make me contemplate and motivate. Now that I sleep better, the 5:00 a.m. start off the day is a real rise & shine. Once everyone is up and out the door to work and school, it is me time. January was the intro back to diet and fitness, because what you do now will be apparent by spring. And by diet I mean switching up what I eat, and basically cutting out the crap. Yoga has been January's mode of fitness which is good for mind & body connection. Now that my body is used to movement again I'm striving towards strength training in the months to follow because this Mama of four is not ready to hang up the bikini just yet.

I joined Mel Robbins Best Decade Ever and I'm dreaming big. Mel is highly motivating and real with how she connects us the audience which is more a tribe creating a ripple effect already. I have big dreams and damn it I'm doing  the work it takes to get there. We are all worth it right! You only live  once, and with the recent passing of Kobe and his girl, I realize the time is now. Tomorrow isn't promised no matter what rung of the latter you are on, so you better start living that best life. Humanity needs to kick in big time, because we are all just that HUMAN. I want to see you all  succeed in life, so what small action will you take to make the shift that will put those bad ass plans you store in your conscious into action?

Do the work, because my friends you are so deserving of all you desire 💜

2020 Intro

Celebrating 1 month of alcohol sobriety. I'm going to be honest  2020 started off rough for me due to mental illness. I took a trip to the ocean to clear my head and literally was in tears most of the time. I have not nor will I ever take prescription meds for this illness so I just need to journey on like I have all my life with bi/polar & manic depressive disorder. My in-home tribe has been kind, loving, and embraceing. This is nothing new for then anyways this has been their normal all of their life with me as mother and wife. I no longer have the crutch of alcohol to lean on which really wasn't lifting me up in life anyways. I want to be clear and present for every situation and for everybody I come across in my life to experience the true authentic me.... No matter how quiet or how loud that maybe. The glory of this all is I'M ALIVE. I love my family and myself enough to be this ❤️ 

Day 3

P.S.A. this is not new year new me b*******. Do not give me any alcohol this holiday season, I am done with all that.  Many of my friends and family out there are probably like" yeah right she doesn't mean it she's been down this road before". Remember that time 2 years ago when I was just five days from 5 years sober and then I went and f***** it up.  Life is great , and I am good , but I want to be better than that , I want to be amazing beyond what I have accomplished thus far!  This is truly necessary for my soul mission & spirit work . Cheers to all of us who are moving forward on our  journeys to our higher self's.

Interval Yoga 30 Day Challenge Halfway Point

So today is lucky 13 in the interval yoga challenge, almost half way. Have to admit this week has been mentally and physically tough. I've only done 3 days out of the week so far. When I have those days when I  feel I can't or don't want to do, I just don't. Listen to your body and mind, but get out of your head. My mind's been going none stop this week and I just need to slow down and tell it to shut up, and if I can reach that point the silence is oh so soothing. In the past when I had weeks like this one I used to reach for alcohol to calm my nerves and numb out. Just what I needed right, filling my body with toxicity, drowning my power and mentality to heal myself and just deal with sh*t. Proud to say I'm really close to celebrating 7 months of sobriety. Yoga and meditation has indeed helped me stay on the path of recovery

Wolf Moon Energy & New Beginnings

It truly is amazing how quiting a bad habit can unlock a chain reaction psychically and mentally in one's self. Always was the search to what my mission on this earthly plain is. Toxic liquid I thought was releasing my mind actually was an ocean of obscurity. When tides ebb & pull the mysteries and beauty underneath the surface are revealed. How blind was I to try to become brighter with dimness clouding my vision. It has only been a week of sobriety, but I feel f&*#%n awesome. The Full Wolf Moon energy can be felt even now during the day time.

Happy New Year everyone. My daughter kept saying new year revelation and revolution instead of resolution, I kept correcting her but it turns out she was right. My mindset for 2015 is to take it day by day and fully live in the moments to cherish everyday. Life is a roller coaster, with eyes wide open and both hands holding on tight enjoy the ride.

What's Up Wednesday

Happy Humpday everyone. Sorry I don't have a Haunted Humpday post this week. My mind is in a swirl of emotion and focus is on other awakenings. I'm working on my sobriety again. I almost made it four months on my last attempt. I made my mind up to get back on the wagon yesterday September 2nd. So yay I'm on day two of sobriety from alcohol. An email this morning from Recovery 2.0 had a link in it to this website IN THE ROOMS, I joined this support site in hopes that a community of collective souls going through the same thing will be helpful.

Later this month, CBSNews.com in association with Recovery 2.0 will be launching the 14 Days on The Wagon challenge. The initiative is a challenge to all people across the U.S. to go “on the wagon” from September 15-September 29 to bring awareness to what it means to live free of alcohol and recreational drugs, to create solidarity with people who struggle with addiction, to spotlight the addiction problem and also to inspire people to greater health and wellness in general.

May you all find inner peace and guidance along your journeys. Let's see where this caravan is headed and what adventures lay ahead.
