“Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.”

René Descartes

The start of a new year always brings the hope of change to me. But why? What difference am I seeking? I want to lose weight. I want to get outside and run more. I want to start recording videos for cooking tutorials. What is stopping me? Thing is I am losing weight (not as fast as I gained it, but still). And, I am getting outside (okay, once a week but I want more). So what about that video? I kept telling myself that my kitchen wasn’t bright enough, or I don’t have the right equipment (hello, iPhone!). But they are lies! The stars and moon don’t have to be in perfect alignment to start! Soon, I will have that first video done. I’ll show you around the apartment, give you a tour of my kitchen, and cook some food while we are at it.

I want to thank Brené Brown and Jennifer Allwood (though they don’t know me, OMG, they are so insightful and inspirational) for helping me to find my courage. I am enough.
