New Name, Same Me

Hi I'm Toni and I welcome you to my new blog which is simply my old blog "It's all about Great Food and Cool Shoes" with an updated name. I did this because I felt I was in a box. You know when you have tons to say yet it just doesn't fit into the box that either you or someone else has made? Well, this is me (pictured above while on our vacation 3 weeks ago with my awesome humidity driven hair) tearing that box apart and starting over! (I even got a shorter hair cut when we got back, it's too freaking hot here for longer hair to just refresh and BREATHE!) I LOVE the new name of the blog because it will allow me to go places my old name didn't fit with, and we can just learn to grow together. I have learned so much since becoming a Health Coach about myself. I'm not going to preach to you, or try to get you to buy anything. I simply have so much rolling around in my head I need to write it down and share it with whom ever comes across it and may want to listen.
I am 55 years young, I was asked how old I was a few years back and 27 popped out of my mouth, which was hysterical because my 30 year old son was standing next to me. We both looked at each other and burst into laughter! 
The point is that is how old I feel. I look and feel better than I ever have before and some people just can't seem to handle it. 
I get dirty looks at the supermarket, I'm not kidding, I just go shopping and get dirty looks because I keep my appearance up I guess. But I have gone from being offended to just thinking, huh, they must be having a bad day, that sucks.
A lot of my thought transformation goes to the fact that my son dragged me to a yoga class with him, I have been hooked on it ever since. 
I have learned that rather than wanting to punch someone in the throat, I can Breathe, be Grateful to the Creator of the Universe, and through me loving Him, I have changed my thoughts, I can set intentions for my day, which has led me to Sparkle from the inside out. 
I know that when the wheels start to come off the bus (I get pissed) that I need to get back on the mat so to speak, get centered and, you guessed it... Breathe. I'm not perfect. I am trying to be less judgmental and work on me,  not worrying about things that are not in my control which is an absolute 180* turn around for me. I believe most people can relate to this.
Well,  that is my new introduction, I hope you like it, and can come along for the ride. 
I will be writing frequently so come by again soon. Until then you can check out my instagram at : healthcoachingmyway Toni Cummings
