Aaaaand....ACTION!

What a day it has been!  The video production crew arrived this morning to take a quick glance (okay - an 8 hour) behind the scenes look at 'Ang & Steve' and ask questions that (mostly) started with the word WHY.

Why are we doing this?
Why Seattle Sutton's?
Why do we need to make a change?

My immediate answer: because two tiny humans are looking to their mom and dad each and every minute, "listening" more often with their eyes on the food that is going in than with the words that come falling out of our mouths.  Because, well...one chin is enough, thank you very much.

But these 'why' questions have me going deeper than food or even nutrition.  All of these 'whys' got me thinking about vocation, about inspiration, about being a light in the darkness of this crazy world.  They got me asking myself how I can truly be a force for good and maybe make a difference in another's life through this journey.  These 'whys' got me thinking about what it means to be a strong, confident woman, regardless of her weight.

Of course, in the midst of this self-reflection tonight, my Facebook feed is made up of two stories -
1. Hillary as the first woman nominee in history
2. Brock the rapist and his 6 month sentence

Without venturing much deeper into my strong feelings on both of these issues, I invite you to ponder and question along with me tonight.  Ask - - no tell yourself - I am worthy.  Of love, of respect, of food that nourishes my body, of the White House ;).

How can we make a difference in this broken world? Let's figure it out.  Cause you know what? We are worth it.
