Why I am Starting this Blog

I recently turned 40. There are so many things at this age for which I want to take responsibility. My hope is that as I and others post here, it will help other women to take charge of their lives as well and encourage them on their journey. If nothing else, it will hold me accountable because now anyone who wants can read what I am working on.

The number one thing for which I want to take responsibility is my health. Every day I want to do things that honor my body because I am worth having the best health that I can have. I do not want to just let life determine my stamina.

So, today, I honored my body and took responsibility for my health by: taking vitamins, taking herbs to slow down the hormonal aging process, and eating lots of fruit. I have also recently started using products to protect my skin (perimenopause hit hard this past year with acne).

My goals are to start exercising every day, to eliminate sugar from my diet, to continue with vitamins and herbs and skin products, to eat 3 servings of fruits and vegies a day, and to get to bed by 11 p.m.

So share with me, what are you doing to honor your body? What are you doing to take responsibility for your health?

What is one accomplishment you did today that you are proud of.

This is a place where I want women to encourage each other, no shame, just cheers for the positive things you are doing in your life.

Your friend and encourager, Julie
