Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
I spent a better half of my Zumba class this morning beating myself up for wearing an XS pant...telling myself I didn't fit..."S" was my size and I looked terrible...then 20 minutes into that mental beating, I told myself I needed to focus on the awesome music, sweat it out and feel gratitude...gratitude for losing weight and keeping it off for over 6 years...and that is just what I did.
When I came home my son asked for a dessert...so as all moms do I invented a healthy recipe on the fly...it turned out so delicious that I had to share...

I want to leave you with words from a book which has had a huge impact on me, that I read years back- “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
