Why Recreate?

The name of this blog is Recreating Home... not like in recreation, but as in re- create, create anew, re-fresh. The past few years have been difficult. One major crisis after another, losing my mother to cancer, losing my mother in law to cancer, marriage issues, health issues, sanity issues.

As the year's progressed, I have fallen farther and farther from what is okay for me regarding my home, my body, and my life. For most of my years, I've felt great with what I have and how I look. I felt I had a beautiful home, beautifully decorated, and loved to entertain in it. I felt great about the friendships I had. Although I've always had a "large build," I felt sexy and in command at my weight of about 160.

But as struggles and tragedies piled up, I found myself "underwater"-- drowning in my depression and overwhelmed by my responsibilities. This year, I am determined to HEAL. In the process, I am determined to regain control of my home, my life, and my body. This will chronicle my journey.
