We are consumed with so many things in this modern life.

It feels as if sometimes we ourselves are being consumed.

Nope. Not good. Not for me. And I know I am not alone.

So how will I unplug and be present? why... with social media and a podcast of course!

"YEE GADS", you say! "What a foolish boob", you say! "What could he be thinking? That is entirely the wrong way!" you say.

Let me try to explain my reasoning: life flies past us- and we forget the many wonderful things that actually fill it. Not all those huge main events, I mean all those smaller things that make life, sparkle, makes us giggle, and puts that lump in our throats. As an exercise I started journaling. Then I stopped (yeah, my distractions were SO important). Then I started again and again and really worked hard to make it a habit. After a few of years, I sat down and reread my journals. I was quite surprised at how many moments of contentment I had written down. And in comparison, I was even more surprised how my 'rushing around' brain had dismissed so many of these moments.

I realized I was carrying around the exactly wrong set of emotional baggage -AND I had proof of those great moments that brought me joy. What else was I doing that was not allowing me to see the progress and joy in the life I was seeking?

So I'm taking you with me on this journey through this podcast and blog, and pictures and discoveries - and all the travels and ups and downs. Maybe we can encourage each other to keep striving and aspiring and working to be the very best selves we want to be. We are already on our way I think. Maybe we just don't realize it.

I'll be talking and writing about my never ending daily struggles with (and passion for) food, diets, and health and all that. But to me none of that matters without the context of the whole person - the whole life. I have always found honesty to be very funny. Truth can shock. So this strives to be as honest (personal and funny) as I can make it! 

I think I have done just about everything I can to avoid doing the first podcast, so...
