Learning 2 Exhale is a place for all of us to slow down from
the everyday hustle and bustle and learn to just live in the moment. I have a
tendency to always be two steps ahead of myself, always looking to the future
or waiting for the next big thing. In that, I sort of lose sight of the right
now. This blog is all about learning to enjoy the journey and not so much about
reaching the “destination.” It’s so great to look back and reflect on how this
blog has evolved and sort of taken shape over the last several years, kind of
like myself. I started this blog three years ago to chronicle the everyday
happenings of my young family and our “big move” to Washington DC. Since then,
so much has changed… but then again, so much has stayed the same. My life with
my family has grown richer and richer, full of precious memories, two new
additions (Lady Bird, and Zeke Bear), our first home together, bold confidence
for my passions in life, and endless possibilities for the future. Although it
is great to have dreams and look forward to the future, in that, we’ve learned
that you can’t lose sight of the here and now—because in the end, those are the
moments that truly matter.
This blog is all about learning to live in the moment. So I
invite you to come share this journey with me. We all have times in our life
when… well, life happens. We get busy with the mundane tasks of everyday,
albeit wiping baby bottoms, endlessly plugging away at college homework, going
grocery shopping, cooking… then cleaning… then cooking again! It never ends.
But then, in the midst of all that… there are those special moments. You know…
those times when something amazing happens! You go to the park and watch your
kids’ faces filled with joy as they run around with your hubby. You try
something new for dinner and it turns out just right. You buy a new outfit, or
a new pair of shoes and you do that dance in the dressing room that makes you
feel giddy inside. You go to church and the pastor’s message moves you deep
down in your heart. Those are the moments this blog is all about! I hope you
enjoy reading about all those special moments in my life and I hope you share
yours too.
Cheers to living in the moment!
