Shake it out

Its hard to dance with the devil on your back... 
Florence + The Machine ~ Shake it out
Thanks Shanah for reminding me:)







Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but its left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

This is me, this is who I'm becoming...

Happy New Year. 
2013

A new beginning, a fresh start & a clean slate.

Not just New Years Resolutions, Life Resolutions!

1. Be happy!
Be in the moment, appreciate what's in front of you. 

2. Get Moving! 
When your body feels good, your mind feels good!
Sleep better and do amazing things!

3. Expand my mind
Learn something new, teach something, open to new experiences no matter how big or small

4. Treat others how you would want to be treated. 
Give love to get love. 

This last one has been in my mind lately. 
I feel like I'm missing something. 
I was so broken down the other day, I felt I had no where to go. 
I sat in the parking lot. 
I couldn't walk thru the doors. 
Even sitting there I felt more at peace. 
I was raised Catholic. 
My son goes to a Baptist Church for Preschool. 

5. Church.

In general, be a better person. 

Happiness is contagious... 
I deserve it:) 

lastly, 

Laugh more!
i.e. Watch more Kardashians, because really you can't watch and not laugh!


Make yummy & healthy foods
I love to cook and would love to learn more about it!
My son asked me one day why my food is so good and I said because it's made with love baby!
He said, Oh, that makes sense. Thanks for that mommy!

P.S. my kid loves lobster... He has an eclectic palate. Unless its beans or mashed potatoes... Then those are gross!


and, one day...
have someone else that I will love and will let walk outside of my heart.
...a baby
I had been holding off holding a friends baby.
Maybe instinctively, I knew I would get that yearn...
It hit me tonight.
I'm not saying tonight, or tomorrow but I never knew if I would get that feeling again after having my son. I didn't think I could have enough love in my heart for another one.
Some day.

That last one is enough for me to push for everything else.

besos sweet friends:*

P.S. It feels amazing to write on the blog:)
I've missed it.
