Welcome

This is a documentation of my journey seeking "my best self"
I am a blessed woman, 2 healthy loving sons and an abundance of all that one needs.
This is not a journey to more of the material stuff, but in seeking my passion and living my best life.
Due to illness, parenting, and busy everyday life, life has lived me instead of me living life.
The purpose of this journey is to turn this back one step at a time.
How will I accomplish this? This I will learn gradually, one thing I am sure of each day of my journey will take me closer to myself.

Blessings,

ETA: I am separated and I can assure you it is for the better. The boys and I are doing good, they are sad but at least they have some breathing space now and don't have to march to the beat of their father's drum anymore. I am more relieved than sad and feel freed from his constant state of depression and lathargic way of living.

mmmm boiled plantain and salmon sounds wonderful!

In answer to your question I'm not counting calories because I can be obsessive, and will get worked up and hooked on counting. My aim to eat food more natural, nourishing foods and that will include nuts and avocados which are high in calories, but good for you.

Oh and thanks for the suggestion of a snack, those are called rice cakes in English.
