The journey this year has been amazing for me. Last year was probably one of the most difficult of my life and at the start of this year, the only thing I committed to was to reclaim myself. Overall it's been wonderful... and the journey amazing.

Recently I've been re-doing things at home. Nothing major, but painting, redecorating of sorts, etc.

In the midst of this I've created a bit of chaos in my space... and I've been living with it for a couple months. But ...

Today is an incredibly perfect day... sun shining brightly, 80, no clouds, no humidity.... enjoyed a walk along the lakefront today touring a local art show.... I was drawn to several artists whose creations incorporated the recycling/repurposing/reusing ...

I'm trying to figure this whole thing out... blogging... I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or not... or if this is even where I'm supposed to post???

I do know that as part of my reclamation year, reclaiming my health is an integral piece.... I've done quite a bit of transforming already... - I've added consistent movement and physical activity back into my daily lifestyle.... I've gotten away from the vegan 'junk food' that is so readily available....

and yet... ...
