2012 has been a very spiritual year for me so far for a number of reasons. And because my deeper spirituality I am finding that (despite my struggle with emotional eating and accepting my body's change's within motherhood) I am loving and accepting myself a whole lot more. The ironic thing is that I thought that I was in a good emotional place about myself before. But as the winds of change keep coming I keep finding different and brighter ways of looking at things.
For instance I've had the same hairstyle for years... the Kate Gosselin, although I had it years even before her. (I used to call it the Robert Smith, and any of you 70s or 80s children will know exactly what I'm talking about). Anyhoo... a couple of months ago I finally found a new hairstyle that I thought might define me a little more, and it surprisingly turned out to be a much better fit.
Just a couple of weeks before that I got my "for the kids" tattoo that I'd been debating on a couple of years (right leg).
I like the changes but wasn't really aware that I felt I wanted or "needed" changes. But so far the new look has done me a world of good, both outside and inside.
