So, how are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? It is February 1st. Which means 2012 is old news now. The excitement of a new year has faded. For most, February 1st means 2012 resolutions are just a memory…that we try really hard to forget.
If you’re not even close to being on track with this year’s goals, it’s not too late. That was only 31 days ago. There is plenty of hope.
Becoming a parent really has the ability to change a person. Apparently, bad-boy-gone-dad rapper, Jay-Z, can attest to that.
Dealing with pain is easier when you do activities that make you happy (no. 5 on the list).
Life is full of ups and downs. When you go through a rough patch, pre-motherhood, you have the luxury of wallowing in your sorrows. However, once you’re a mother, that is no longer an option.

Today’s Mama’s Music Mantra is about recognizing the positive changes that have taken place in you after becoming a mother. The song pick: You Are The Best Thing by Ray Lamontagne. Now turn up those speakers, click play, and read on!

I have no desire to climb Mt. Everest. I did however, climb Grouse Mountain. Some stats about the hike, affectionately named the Grouse Grind:
2830 stairs (more like fireplace logs jammed into the dirt…not the nice sturdy cement ones you find in your office building)
2800 ft. elevation gain
Average time: 1.5 hours
My goal : 1 hour (a random number based on my competitive impulse)
A photo of my husband and I post-Grind…hence me having to lean on him for support.
It was grueling. But so worth it! More than elevation, I gained insight into the internal battles we are up against when we challenge ourselves.
