Restart, Reset.

Its been a long while since I posted an entry, for a whole garden-type variety of reasons. Crazy work schedule, juggling etc etc etc..


The truth of the matter is that, I think I had not figured out the real intention for the blog and my need to document ideas, events and thoughts. This became especially apparent with my birthday and I felt that the blog was irrelevant given the title ; Counting 35. Hence my little baby got abandoned. I contemplated just taking the blog off, starting a new blog with a new title, focus on weight loss, start a food –cooking blog – everything and anything.

Recently however, I have had time for a little – and folks I tell you A LITTLE bit of reflection, and have realized that I need the blog to live, and specifically this blog.


Saw this quote from a friend on Facebook today; “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending”

That aptly describes my life right now, and what I am trying to achieve with it. And that folks is what this blog is going to be about.
My life is not about neat little compartments, however OCD organized I try to get about it. Everything kinda melds into this one fluid whole, and that’s how I envision my life to be. I am at this juncture where I have the power, to take control (side-note OCD tendencies on exhibit!) and build something that is true to the essence of who I am. To live the life I would like.

After 18 months of participating in the collapse of my marriage, accepting a new highly demanding but exciting job, having my father pass on suddenly, moving houses, taking on familial emotional and financial responsibilities – amongst others, to say that my life is a little haywire and resembling nothing near what I would like it to be is about as honest as I can get.

The restart and reset this blog – in a way symbolizes the resets that I need to take in my life. It will serve as my journal, my contemplation, the chronicle of the challenges in my life as I deal with my emotional issues, my health and weight challenges, my relationship demons, my dreams of financial security and business success. From the big and important to the trivial and mundane, I hope that the space thoughts and feelings find on this blog will propel me forward. I am on a journey – what I need to do is start getting conscious and mindful. This is my journey, if I am not in-charge who good golly gosh is then????
