Recently, I have found myself contemplating the way I live my life.
Maybe it's because I will turn 35 this year...
Maybe it's because I've now been married for over 10 years...
Maybe it's because Emily turned 1 and I couldn't believe how fast her first year went...
Maybe it's because I was introduced to the world of blogging through a friend whose baby was born sick...
Maybe it's because I know so many people suffering... real sufferings...
Whatever the reason, I've been contemplating how I live my life. And I realized I needed to change.
I am a busy person. I always have been. I love being involved with just about everything. I am known for "going overboard" on just about everything I do or plan. I'm a perfectionist. I don't like things to be chaotic, messy and cluttered. And I'm also a worrier. I worry about everything... from a cough to a bump... I always fear the worst.
To sum it up... I've been living a much too busy life... I've been living my life in fear... I've been living a life filled with worry...
I've had an epiphany...My busy, worry-filled way of living is robbing me of the joy of really LIVING! It's robbing me of the joy of celebrating the little things in life. It's robbing me of embracing the daily joys and struggles of raising my two sweet children. It's robbing me of LIVING out LOUD!
So I've made a resolution....
To be less busy.
To let go of my perfectionism.
To stop living in fear.
To trust more and worry less.
I want to live a life in which I celebrate the little things!
So I've started this blog to help me celebrate my life and the lives of my sweet family. I'm blessed beyond measure...
I'm married to the sweetest, most hard working and loyal man alive... my sweet husband, Vance.
I'm blessed with two charming and adorable children...
Noah... my miracle baby with a huge personality and a tender heart...
And Emily... my feisty, full-of-life, baby girl... the one I've dreamed about for as long as I can remember.
Somewhere, along the way, I've lost sight of how blessed I am. I've gotten too bogged down in the business and messiness of raising small children.
So this is the beginning...
The beginning of my journey of learning to celebrate the little things in life and of learning to "live out loud"! So join me in celebrating... and along the way, you can keep up to date on the happenings in the Holtzman Household!
