My first ever blog

OMG am I really writing a kin blog?
I can't believe that I really am, but here goes.  I know I am ten years behind everyone else and I even read that blogs will be obsolete soon, so what's the point anyway right?  I need to! I am sitting here in my kitchen and I am popping with inspiration and excitement.  Chomping at the bit.  I have so much information that I NEED to share with you.  I have found a way of living that really works, I am down the rabbit hole of INFORMATION and I just can't get enough of it.  I am listening to podcasts on bike rides, in the car (luckily I have to drive at least 40mins a day yay), whilst cleaning, hanging out washing...you get the picture, lots right?  My bedtime reading is heavy going scientific books on my topic of passion. I talk A LOT about this. When my well meaning friend Caz said 'its like you've found religion', I thought, oh god I'm becoming a bore on my topic! In summary I am writing this blog because I need an outlet and if you come across this and are reading it and aren't just my Mam or a supportive paleo palio then who knows maybe this can help you?  I've partially managed to keep my mouth shut when I see friends but my close circle have had an ear bashing on the topic and its interested them, and its changed some of their lifestyle habits too, and they have felt benefits too.

So what is my topic then?  It's primal lifestyle.  I'm going to explain more about my story and how I made my primal shift in the next post...(when I get flash at this that bit where it says next post will actually be a link to it, imagine!)  Its about getting back to listening to our bodies, hearing our intuition.  Its about what we eat, how we sleep, move, socialise, relax, connect.  Its about seasons, and circadian rhythm (night and day), its about community, our farmers and growers, our home veggie patch, how we feel, how we handle our stress, its about feeling bloody awesome, being healthy, having vitality, drive, loving life and being able to cope.  Its about our hormones and those aches and pains that we think are 'normal' not having to be.  Its about lots of things and I don't know where this little blog is going to head but I'm going with it and seeing what comes up over the next few weeks and months.

When I discuss getting back to how we used to live it resonates with people, and when I first heard about it, it was like I already knew it, its a deep knowing that has just been lost under the fog of modern living.  People want to feel better but don't know how, maybe it involves some deprivation and hard work?  I hadn't heard anything about the illness I had but when I started researching on the University of Google I jumped straight down the rabbit hole on this amazing healing topic. With a few relatively simple lifestyle changes I have turned my life around in all areas.  I feel super inspired to bring this information to you.

So, in summary, six months ago I felt like absolute shit, I would have gladly died.  If someone said I had 3 weeks left to live I would have been relieved.  Today a mere six months ish later I am on top of the world.  I want to share what I've found out, because everyone could know this and feel great too.  Granted not all of you want to listen to podcasts round the clock and read every article going on paleo and primal living, but I do and I will give you the highlights and summaries.

I want to keep this blog real, I am going to talk to you like I talk to my pals, as if I were sending a private message on Facebook, or on Viber.  I don't want to come across all 'my life is great check me out".  I like taking pictures of my food and sending it to my friends.  I'll share all of this daggy, personal stuff with you too, because I hope that the more real I am, the more you will relate and find some inspiration or ideas.

Stay tuned, Love, H.

PS.  I can't believe how seriously IT backwards I am...it took me ten minutes to even work out where to write my post.  I know.  I also want to make it pretty, with pictures, and cool links and soon I'll go back and correct the grammar and that but for now I have stuff BURSTING to get out of my finger tips.  Man it feels so good to be getting this 'out there'.
