So this isn’t a rant about food or exercise or even really health. Well maybe mental heath. Ever wake up with this feeling in your belly (no not hunger) that just makes you want to go do something important in the world. I Call it my movie days. The days were I feel like my life has a purpose and i am part of some big script and this is the day my life will officially begin. Usually I feel this way after my coffee...hmm maybe the coffee is the inspiration? Anyway midway through the day i am usually very disappointed when I discover the mundane routine is all the day has to offer. I want to do something big! I want excitement, romance you know the good stuff! I want to be fulfilled to the brim, but all I get is half a turkey sandwich and some diet coke! There must be some purpose to my life. I am a mom, I love my daughter with my whole heart and soul. I have a faith in god that is unshakable. I have a great boyfriend who keeps me in check and have the talent of singing which is pretty darn awesome. I have a job and apt and a horribly ugly van that most young kids would be afraid of, but hey it runs; All of these things I am tremendously grateful for especially since the last few month have been very trying and I am finally rebuilding my life but still there is this pit in my stomach that I can’t shake. Fat Barbie was something I wanted to create for a long time. I wanted to take what I've learned and help others maybe even inspire! This has been such a great outlet for me as well; to be completely candid is kind of therapeutic. We all have our burdens to bear and our issues to share (rhymes) I think the world is hard enough so we should probably support each other right? See how I get so sidetracked? Seriously my mind is like a big bowl of different cereals! Lucky charms mixed with cheerios mixed with oatmeal and coffee instead of milk! Eww... Yup that’s my brain! So maybe I won’t change the world by this blog but if I help a handful of people than it’s totally worth it, Sounds trite to say that but I genuine mean it. As I am even writing this I now know why I woke up with the rumbling in my belly. I am doing something, I am living life and my life does have a purpose. One small thing at a time. So my advice to all you belly rumblers out there, start with something small. Maybe your movie script is right under your nose and you just need see it. Help someone else, we get so self absorbed (me included) that we forget it’s the things we do for others that is truly inspiring. I hope you have a great day, life, purpose! Oh and exercise an extra 10 minutes today!!
XOXO
