I took my son for a walk in nature last weekend, and all I could think about was how amazing and strong I felt – a far cry from where I’ve been in recent years with my health, energy and vitality.

On that walk I reflected on what I’ve endured these past 3 years, remembering how that first year after Ocean was born I could barely walk up and down the stairs more than once a day, and the determination and grit it took to get through that first year.

I recalled how during that second year of feeling so ill, I feared that I’d forever be a “sick mom”, who’d have to apologetically tell her son that she’s too ill or exhausted to go to his soccer game or school play.

I looked back at last year and how slowly, over time and with tremendous dedication and unwavering care, I’ve put myself back together.

As I walked on that trail with my now 3-year old son, I reveled in the fact that my tenacity, my devotion and my commitment all lead to that moment of being able to enjoy a morning out in nature with Ocean, watching the butterflies and feeling the warm sun on my skin, no longer fearing that I couldn’t make it through the day.

It was a simple morning, and yet my experience was profound. I had the privilege of feeling strong, resilient, resourced, energetic and a bit weepy from my brimming, grateful, cracked-wide-open heart.

 

I no longer have to ration my energy and efforts to get through the day, or reach for energy substitutes to help me limp through my morning, afternoon or eve. I can focus, be productive and efficient, and I can even walk, run and climb stairs two at a time.

I no longer struggle at the end of a full day to put dinner together. I can make delicious, healthy meals for us to eat, and even plan a birthday party and decorate the house, when that’s needed!

I no longer have to plan my work efforts and schedule around how much energy I have to devote to the task at hand. I can envision what I wish to accomplish and I can engage with it from a place of inspiration and heart.

I can even plan adventures that take Ocean and I outside of the house, ask us to exert ourselves physically, and last for hours at a time. My transformation has taken a long time, but it’s been remarkable – and it’s required my devotion, attention and love.

Energy, vitality, radiance and health aren’t absolute requirements to have a life, or to live your life fully. Not at all.

 

But feeling good in your body DOES make life much sweeter and more enjoyable.

 

After everything I’ve learned through first-hand experience these past 3 years, my wish for every woman is that she prioritize herself, her health, and her energy, vitality, radiance and happiness.

 

Because life is just too damn short to be living it any other way.

 

Are you with me?

 

With love and Radical Nourishment,
