There are a lot of things about me that I love. I like my dedication to things, and my loyalty to people. I like my common sense, and my ninja abilities.

But, as is true with all of us, there are things I want to change. And it is time. Time to reinvent myself. Time to become the woman that God wants me to be, made me to be, but that I have to choose to be.

So here's what I'ma gonna do.

I'm gonna let the hippie in me run wild. Let's just be honest, we know it is there. And you know what? I like her. I like my barefoot, eco-concious, hair wild, self out to explore this big beautiful world we've been given.

More specifically, I'm going to eat better. I'm going to drink more water and less pepsi. I'm going to eat more fruits and veggies then carbs. I'm gonna eat protein, but limit my meat intake. I'm gonna make more of my own things. I'm gonna only spend money on things I really like.

I know this all sounds very high minded and pompous, but I don't care. Its my life, and this is what I want to do with it.

So if I seem out of sorts, unsure or cranky, forgive me in the months to come. Learning what life without caffeine is like will be the hardest. So please forgive me if I am snappy or brain dead.

And keep me in your prayers and thoughts.

Much love to all

Charis
