So, I have been thinking recently that I am on too many journeys. Between the hair, eating, writing, self-discovery, weigh loss, career, creative, social, family journeys, I am totally pooped. Is it possible to be on too many journeys? Do you gain anything with so many balls in the air? What I am finding is, I CAN'T COMMIT FULLY TO SO MANY THINGS. I am not gaining anything really from all of these journeys because I am unable to give full effort to any one of them. So in turn, I am focusing on two right now: writing and eating.

I truly believe that writing is meant to be read and the blog has helped me to write regularly in a place that can be traveled upon by many different people. In this way I feel like I am sharing a piece of me with the world. I never really thought that something so simple as a blog would get my creative juices flowing. I had been at such a loss for words over the past 10 years or so; which left an empty space. Just writing the blogs have restored my creativity. I am more inspired and excited to write than I have been in years. I owe it partly to
+National Writing Project and Ozark Writing Project. A few years ago, I attended the Summer Institute in 2013 at
+Missouri State University which sparked something in me. Now because I am super lazy, it has taken me several years to get going on this journey. I really just went to through the symposium because my teaching partner
+Casey Daugherty kept hounding me ;) . However, with her support, encouragement, and perspective I started a journey that has not only opened my mind but is sure to change my life.

The food is a whole other journey. By far, healthy eating has always been a struggle for me. Work in progress doesn't even describe construction of the new me. Again, I am LAZY. It is a real chore for me to make the right food choices; especially since I don't do much cooking at home. This compounded with that fact that I LOVE food. I just like the feeling I get while I am eating. However, what I have noticed is that feeling only last while I am eating. When I overeat, guilt immediately sets in. This feeling has only started occurring when I hit 30. I think 30 is a milestone that makes you look at your life differently and my weight has always been a thorn for me. I have always saw myself as fat; even as a size 8. There has to be something deeply rooted in my psyche that has caused this distorted view. Maybe I should seek some help for this.
