happy new year!!

so i started off new years day feeling pretty down.
i'm not sure why it's just how it goes some times, i've been in such a great mood for a while now (i think giving up the sodas had a lot to do with it, now if only i could cut down on the refined sugar)
but today is way better, i have been re inspired by a few things.
not many people know this about me, but in spite of never having any children i'm a bit of a birth dork, many years ago i was a birth partner for a friend and though i didn't get to see the very end result(she had an emergency c section) i got really into natural childbirth, so much so i toyed with the idea for a long time of becoming a midwife ( read spiritual midwifery by ina may gaskin it is a pretty awesome book).
another thing that ad re inspired me is this urban homesteader blog i've come across to the right margin over there . i can do what i want to do even in a little house in town i don't have to move to the middle of no were.
anyway i'm trying to work on my goals i set out for myself last year, i will become more self reliant, i will spend more time learning and not just sitting idly
and i will plan our wedding
and i will get back into my music, all i have to to is get back on my saddle.

i hope you are all well and that this year you will accomplish what you set out to do
