I am choosing to live a more joyful life. It's too easy to get bogged down by all the work and business of motherhood. Recently I've been inspired to change my perspective, look forward to the day at hand and seek out the things that make me happy. Because ain't nobody happy if Momma isn't happy and I've been neglecting myself for some time now.
We are so blessed that we get to share our daily lives with three amazing little people. But childhood is fleeting and these children are growing older each day. I adore my babies and my family and want to experience this time fully with them, reveling in the many small wonders, instead of being overburdened by the challenges, and feeling grateful that I am here, in this moment.
I am inspired to live happy, embrace my age, wear red more often, let kids be kids, be romantic, do yoga and take care of me.
I've lost myself a little bit but I'm bringing me back.

I love this, Julie!
Cheers to bringing YOU back!
Allow it to be.....
Let go of the need to need. And allow yourself to sink gently and gracefully into the beauty of this moment.
Here and now anything is possible. Surrender your need to focus on limitations, and open yourself to the finest possibilities.
Flow peacefully along with the boundless energy that is in this day. Celebrate the miracle of being.
Breathe in the exquisite beauty of all this is. Though events and circumstances constantly change, nothing can interrupt the wonder of it all.
Float freely above the burden of having to place a judgment on everything. Enjoy the opportunity to experience whatever comes your way.
Greet this moment with a curious, thankful and loving heart. And allow it to be the best time yet.

Did you watch NieNie on Oprah? Because I had your exact same feeling after watching her interview. Even as the mom of teenagers who are constantly on the run and leaving messes behind them, I still have to remind myself to savor these moments as they grow up. It's flying by!
My Dearest Julie
In the 10+ years that we have been together, I have never loved you more than I do at this moment.
I am sitting in LAX, killing time, on my way back to you and the minis. And I thought I would check the blog between work emails to catch up on the home front.
And I find this post. This wonderful post! It illustrates perfectly YOUR spirit. Your words, your voice, and the thoughtfulness behind them, embody the very essence of YOU and everything that I love about you.
Thank you for this. At a time and place where I least expected it, you have reminded me of how blessed I am to be yours. I would be lucky just to know you. But being married to you is a blessing that I will spend the rest of my life trying to deserve.
YOU fill MY life with joy.
All My Lovin
