Krista Lee's mOMents

    I started writing this early April 2020, and called it "In the middle of a pandemic", but I had no idea what we were really in for. It's now the beginning of June, and we are still somewhere in the middle. Just floating around in a cloud of uncertainty. It is so weird...and kinda scary. In addition, we are demanding big changes in our thinking as a nation through protests. Racism has reared its ugly head. World wide, we are struggling. We've been thrusted into change, and yet so much more needs to happen.     In my small bubble of this world, I find myself struggling to keep a positive outlook at times. Fear settles in and camps out in the pit of my stomach. It is time for change. I can only speak to what I know, and that is minimal considering the vastness of change that I feel needs to happen to make this world a better place. A big question I ask myself, and see others asking, is "what can I do?". While I don't have the answer, I have some ideas.

02/02/2020 Welcome to February my loves! The month that plasters the word LOVE all over the place. So, of course it's what's been on my mind. Love. It's a 4 letter word. So simple, but not really. In my life, I've loved many times. I've fallen in love, out of love, loved the shit out of something, I've been loved, then unloved... for such a little word, it sure is powerful. Now that I've been around the sun enough times to have some experiences under my belt, I feel confident in saying out loud that love isn't what we're told it is. Let's use a partner as an example. As a young girl, all I wanted was to fall in love. My parents found each other when they were in middle school, and are still together!!! Try as I did, that kind of love was not meant for me. My high school sweetheart was not my destiny. As we became (very) young adults, we realized we were simply too different. I found a cute young man who reminded me of my dad. That shou

Happy 2020 to all my friends and family! Ringing in the New Year often times means doing some deep 'spring cleaning' of ourselves. We may go through our closets and cabinets, clean out the fridge, or we may dive into journaling, maybe even join a new fitness studio. The underlying tone of, "out with the old, in with the new" is abundant. Frankly, it can be quite overwhelming.  Let me tell you a secret, a New Years resolution does not have to be earth shatteringly amazing. It can simply be a time where you recognize you've thought about starting/stopping a behavior, and instead of saying tomorrow, you say today. Personally, I only have one so called resolution. It actually began in the spring of 2019, so it's not even an official NYR. But, I recognize it's importance, so I need to make sure I stick with it. By sharing my experience and intentions, I hope to help hold myself accountable. And, maybe one of you will be inspired.  Resolvi
