I feel so very good... Thank you Sis!



Islamorada, Florida Keys - Photo taken by my late sister. It was her favorite place to go on mini-vacations in Florida.

Before my very best friend of 15 years (aka my 'sister') tragically passed away in a car accident last October in Miami, I had promissed her that I would take good care of my health. That this was the most important thing of all.

We had made plans, and I am acting on them, both for her and for me.

I am working every single day to honor that promise I had made to her, and to honor my body and myself.

I have been following a mix of vegetarian and vegan diet for 24 days now, and I feel so good.

I have been exercising more regularly every week, and I feel so good.

I meditate every single night before bed-time to re-focus myself and take the time to reconnect with every part of my body, and speak to my Sister, and I feel so good.

No, I don't get everything done on my list of other chores, but you know what, I do get everything done to take BETTER care of me - something I had not been doing for the past few years.

Thank you Sis for holding me to my promise, for being my angel and watching over me.

You've been gone almost 3 months now, and I wish you were here, but I know that by taking good care of me, your memory will live on even longer.

This message is for everybody who so kindly follows my blog:

Take the time to take care of you.

Take the time to stop and smell the roses.

Take the time to enjoy life.

Take the time to just 'be' in the moment.

Peace,

Nathalie

This is so touching, Nath. Thank you for reminding me to slow down for a second.

It takes so much strength and insight to grow something meaningful and positive from such a terrible situation, but it sounds like you are doing just that, and beautifully. I'm sure Callie is SO proud of you. Inspiring.
