New Life, New Blog

2014 is my year for major CHANGE!
Renew, redirect, relearn, reduce... REVOLUTION!
 

Saying goodbye to Texas in less than a week, my 10 year marriage (no tears, please!), house, most of my stuff, watching television, unhealthy eating habits (starting next week, I swear!) and hopefully around a hundred pounds.
 

Saying hello to love again (unexpected, unplanned, yet wonderful), California, city life, beaches, learning a new skill set by returning to school, reading for pleasure, the gym, more activity, a regular sleep schedule, living life to the fullest each day and a general focus on relearning who I am and what makes me happy. 

REVOLUTION: a sudden, radical, or complete change  
EVOLUTION: a process of continuous change from a lower, simpler, or worse to a higher, more complex, or better state

I'm working on a MELvolution... Always and forever!  

Favorite moments from today:
-I had a swim lesson with my fab trainer, Rebecca. It's the first time I've had assistance since I was FIVE. Needless to say, I suck at legit swimming. I was flutter kicking while using a breaststroke and not coming up for air at all in between each stroke. HA! She was extremely patient and helpful. Lots of practice needs to happen, but I feel much more confident about swimming now.  Thanks, girl!
 -Andrew and I had dinner at my good friend and longtime colleague's house, Monica. It was delish! Her huge gray Great Dane, Phoebe, was entertaining, as well. I'll definitely miss her... Monica, that is. :-)
