Hello World!

I bet you’re wondering who I am and why I’m here…… I would say I am pretty typical. I love my kids with all my heart; I struggle to balance life, work, family, and friends. I try to focus on what is important…really important (dishes out of sink: not so important, kids off to school happy: important). It’s not always easy. I am 37, married to my best friend, or friend, or just the guy I married depending on the day.

I am the founder of the PURE Bar which adds meaning, lots of stress, and a certain amount of ego and positive reinforcement, to my life. All necessary I’ve realized for me to feel balanced. I am a better wife and mom, a better friend when I have something that engages me outside of my relationships. I think that is pretty typical of all of us.

I am blogging because I am passionate about the thread that links us all together, how my ideas about purposeful eating and balanced living can connect with others and their ideas can connect with me and on and on. One of my favorite videos is the guy dancing with people all over the world. I get emotional whenever I see it because it shows how alike how connected we all are. I see people all around me embracing change for the better, living more eco-consciously, rejecting the fake and the processed for the simple, the real and the important. This makes me proud and ultimately reinforces the idea that we are all more similar than we realize, we are working toward a better world, and we are connected in so many ways.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. It’s who I am and what I believe. I hope you will take the time to share with me who you are and what you believe in too.

Veronica
