It is crazy how fast time seems to be moving lately. I am assuming that is due to the fact that things are moving at such an insane speed that I have to dig my toes into the ground so I don't get sucked into the momentum. But I am learning sometimes I like to ride in that madness.. no I will admit I LOVE to ride in it! And it all points back to the thing that started me on my blogging journey.. the fishing lure company. It has begun, the stories about my husband, the videos, the articles, and just the plain fact that it has a not only a name of it's own.. but a legend in the making. Check out this article that I had a part in writing about my one and only.

I do not have the words to describe how proud, happy and excited I am about this dream becoming a reality. So I will leave it at that.

New Soul
So anyone who knows me knows that I like to get my workout on. Now I'm not this insane intense workout buff that will sacrifice anything and everything to get myself to the gym at crazy hours and what not. But I do get a lot out of gym time. Just my over all being is better. Well as of recently there is absolutely no time cut out for me to get to the gym UNLESS of course I want to go at 6am before the my little wakes and husband rushes out the door, or after 8:30pm when we put her down for the night and I am ready to collapse into bed, a glass of wine, or catch up time with the husband. I am too stubborn to join a gym with a daycare and leave her there. (some people think this makes me a crazy person) But nonetheless, I have always taken her for walks. If we are lucky, Daddy and the pups will join us if it's in the evening, but lately that has been super rare. So we have been creating a little routine since we are now in the midst of humid, hot, sticky Texas summer, we are taking our little walk/run stroll in the am. This morning it started off just as usual.. me not really ready for the workout and baby just excited she isn't going down for a nap yet and gets to be outside! The minute I walked outside there were some really dark clouds. The weather here has been crazy lately.. random thunderstorms coming out of nowhere. So I pulled up my weather ap, which I live by and somehow it is never really right on. It said no rain in sight today. Ok but it looks like it's about to pour? So we continue anyway, I need a little sweat and it's not lightening. As I get to our normal turn around point, this song came on. I play my music so both of us can hear.. cause I am bound and determined that we will have a musically inclined child. The song, New Soul by Yael Naim came on. This is the chorus:
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
Just then it started to sprinkle. At first I kind of freaked out, I have my baby here with me and we are going to get drenched. But then it did not pick up, just a slow sprinkle, enough for her to get a few raindrops on her legs and me to get a little damp by the time we reached home. But I picked up the speed to a full on sprint. Just in case it did start down pouring. By the time we got home and under cover I was completely out of breathe and felt this deep cleanse I had just experienced and to make it just a trillion times better, my sweet girl was there to experience with me. Obviously she had no clue what was happening, but when I went to get her out, she did not want to leave that stroller. It was like she felt it too. These sprinkles of rain combined with the words of that song and everything that is going on in my life and people around me twirled me into such a good mood. Like a breathe of fresh air. My young soul is still alive and well, but with age the theory that you know it all kind of fades, and a new prospective starts to creep in. For me, it's learning to live. Just live in the moment. Appreciating people and their stories, their experiences, but learning we will all have different stories in the end. I am convinced we will have quite the story. Feeling so thankful after this sprinkle cleanse with my best friend by my side.
