Healthival!

Posted by Amy Baranski and  Melissa Baumgart

Our first month for the blog this year is a term we came up with called "Healthival!"  It's like the debauchery of the Carnival celebration, but the other side of the coin...a dedication to our health.  Through patience, self-control, courage and self-reliance we will find our power and a more clear view of ourselves with love and compassion.  Here's to our health! 

We got the band back together!

WE'RE BAAAAACCCCKKKK!!!! And we're doing the blog again. Think of our last goodbye and the time away from here as a sabbatical. When we left the blog, Melissa found this fitting quote by Alan Cohen:
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.  But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.  There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." 
Honestly we can't remember where she got the quote from or who Alan Cohen is but over a year later his words are more resonant than ever. The movement in our lives has called us back to this blog bringing us closer to a sense of security that is deep and profound. 

We think it's pretty courageous to start something again that we said goodbye to (or really stupid). But what the hell? We think it's the courageous choice, just for the record.

So what happened?  We'll let you know soon, when you all become loyal readers of this blog.

Good Luck With __________

Posted by Melissa Baumgart and Amy Baranski
Dear GLWT readers,

If you haven't noticed from the lack of any posts since August, 2013...we are walking away from Good Luck With That!  What started as an exciting and life changing experience, slowly became a chore once our lives outside of the blog became fuller.  Amy was a new mom with a baby/toddler that made sleeping through the night impossible (still!).  Melissa was a full time midwifery student, on-call and attending births...and transitioning into being a single mom as she navigated "the best divorce ever."

Even though we both loved the blog so much, sometimes in life, you have to let go of something you once loved to make room for new possibilities.

We are excited for what comes next, and have some ideas for a new blog in the works.  We'll let you all know when we launch the next one!

Thank you for all your support along the way,
Cheers,
Amy and Melissa
