My intention for being on Tumblr

My gorgeous, smart and milliennialistic (is that even a word?!) niece told me all about Tumblr during my business trip where I hired her as my traveling nanny - ha!  

I was sharing with her how I really wanted a platform where I could simply write all of my thoughts about marriage, holistic health, obesity, being a feminist, motherhood etc. without holding anything back. 

And right away she said “Oh my gosh, Aunt Brenda!  You need to be on Tumblr!”

I said “really?... okay, why?”

And she explained that basically everyone that’s on Tumblr is a lot more open about their thoughts and typically hold nothing back.  She mentioned that Tumblr is more like a personal diary.  So I said, what the hell?  I’ll give it a shot. 

Therefore, my intention for being on Tumblr is to let it ALL out.  I’m holding nothing back when it comes to women empowerment, being a modern driven woman that does it all - don’t get all crazy on me... I ain’t no super woman but I sure do handle a lot of shit. I have a corporate career, health coaching business, a 3 year old son, and a 5 month old bebe - and let’s not forget my handsome husband. 

The truth is life is amazing and it also kinda sucks at certain moments.  I’m just keepin’ it real with you.  But the truth is that we have a choice as to how we choose to react to everything.   So that’s it for tonight.  I think I’ll also write a lot about my spiritual journey, bitch about corporate politics (without being politically correct), and about holistic health. 

Let me know what questions you have.  Adios!

#yogachallenge #yogawithadrienne Ok, going to challenge myself to practice yoga for the next 30 days. Found Yoga With Adrienne on YouTube on her videos are awesome and only 30 minutes long! My goal is to be able to press my heels all the way on the floor by the end. #Yoga #dowhatfeelsgood #fitmom #fitspo

Mexican or not, you can never go wrong with a delicious bowl of beans! Full of protein, fiber and iron. Mexicana o no, riquisimo plato de frijoles siempre es buena idea! Llenos de proteina, fibra y hierro.

My niece @alexandurra has been practicing a lot of yoga and it reminded me of how much I enjoy yoga. But lately I just haven't been able to squeeze it in. I have a million excuses. I know that physical activity needs to also be a priority but lately it hasn't been one for me and I need to change that ASAP. In this picture I preferred to look at the yoga poses instead of actually practicing them. Haha. I'm lame and tired :) I'd love to hear some tricks from other working moms on how they manage to fit physical activity into their schedule.
