Subliminal Habits

Subliminal Habits 4 weeks ago, I started to really focus on me.  Prioritizing my health.  I'll share more about that but today I had an example of how I'm not on a weight loss journey... but I'm optimizing my whole self and that includes addressing some of those subliminal habits we create.

About Birthdays

About Birthdays It's not MY birthday - but it is The Big Guy's birthday and that is a day to celebrate.  It wasn't until we met that I truly understood what was missing from all of the failed relationships of days gone by - connection.  Connection I don't mean the physical connection.  That is fleeting.  It's the whole package.  Like the way we can both just "be" in the house and there is a warmth.  Or the way he'll curl up in my lap {Keep Reading}
