I launched my book “Sexpot With Stretch Marks”  a week ago today.  It went #1 over the weekend.  I’ve done some press and will continue to as well. Today was like a day off in that I had no clients or interviews.  When you live your passion though, you are never off, because you like being on.

My husband and I did a health screening at his work which lowers our health insurance cost.  We both scored flying colors and we compare our numbers, which I won all categories this time.   The woman conducting the testing was in awe of my scores.  I guess it was not the norm.  She said, “Keep doing whatever you’re doing.”  So wine and chocolate it is.  Seriously.  But all those numbers don’t matter if you don’t feel good.  Feeling good is mind-body-spirit.  I love life.

It was a valley in between that epic high with my book until the next one.  I don’t chase the highs.  I embrace them and peace as well.   It could be boring.  I don’t get bored easily.  Occasionally I’ll wish I was doing something fun of a Saturday night.  But then I realize it’s cold out and I’d rather in my pj’s.  Every day, I consider an adventure.  As I was driving to pick up my son from preschool, Prince came on the radio.  I blasted it of course.  I saw a Mack truck with a cursive “P” on the front.  As in my last name, but also for passion and purpose.  Those are what I’m all about.  I have a passion for life.  I also saw a “Baby On Board” sticker on someone’s car like from back in the day.  This one read “Baby Jedi On Board” which was so cool because we are big Star Wars fans here.

On the way home, “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child came on.   I went into this hand waving, neck moving like chicken thing and I could feel my for year old son’s eyes on me, which said…What is she doing?  Is that dancing.  Oh, I’m embarrassed for her.  I love car dancing.  Embarrassing them is my JOB.  I also forgot that I saw a heart shaped sludge mark in the parking garage of my husband’s work.  I had to post a picture to Instagram.  I also took pictures of  a chandelier which I would love to own, or wear.  I’m not kidding there.  They had light up trees in Brookstone which brought me joy, one in pink, one in blue, and one in red.  One day.  I got Starbucks Oprah Chai Latte with Organic Soymilk.  The sun was out.  It was an extraordinary day.  And we are having pizza for dinner.   I also have on my black fringe boots which make me feel like a rockstar.

My one year old is in my lap as I type this, she sucks her thumb and holds my hair in her hand.  Her smile is the world.  My kids are my joys.  It’s these little things.  It’s those combined with my life’s purpose to empower women that make my life feel so whole.  In the Valleys, are peace and they are never boring if you keep your eyes open.
