I have named my Blog "Losing Myself On Purpose" because that is exactly what my life is all about in so many ways, both literally and figuratively.
I am currently in the process of losing weight and, as of today, have lost 30 pounds of me. It hasn't been the easiest journey but it is far from over. My daughter and I are taking a 10 day trip to Paris in late September so I want to be able to walk and walk without tiring out. This is a wonderful carrot hanging in front of my nose to inspire me to stay on the straight path and to not wander off in pursuit of a Pain Au Chocolat! This is a very literal interpretation of Losing Myself!
As many of you know, I am a voracious reader so I often get lost in literature. Currently I am reading every book, fiction and non-fiction, that I can find about France in general and Paris in particular. I am having some wonderful adventures of the mind as I find myself lost in the streets of the Marais or in an obscure corner of the Louvre!
I also love to daydream. Some of by best decisions and life choices have been the result of giving myself up to dreaming about anything and everything. Of course, right now many of those dreams revolve around our upcoming trip but I also dream about what ifs....not that they could necessarily come true but it is fun and healthy and creative to expand my mind.
I lose myself in painting. Give me a canvas and some paints and hours can go by as I lose myself into color and texture and theme. I don't kid myself that I am a "talent" at this but it makes me feel good and that is what matters to me.
As this Blog progresses, it will be fun to explore other ways I can be "Losing Myself On Purpose"!
See you soon!
