Well if you are looking for a regular WIAW post, you might not find it here today. I do have some good food pics but not the complete version I am afraid. But bare with me, I have some other topics to share.
You see, this morning I really was not planning on posting. To be honest, I was not in the blogging mood. No reason for it, just not feeling it. But then all of a sudden I heard a song on the radio and my mind started to ponder. It’s funny how certain songs can change your whole day’s perspective. Anyway, this song made me think about who I AM, what I AM, and where I AM going.
I AM…….. a daughter, a friend, a wife, and a sister.
Oh and a mother to one furry pup.
I AM all these things and I AM ready to be a better version of them all.
I AM going to a better version of who I AM by simply LOVING who I AM.
have I lost you yet?
I AM dreamer, a woman of faith, a homebody.
I AM who I AM.
I AM in love with my husband.
I AM a woman who does her best thinking in the kitchen….
Especially with a glass of wine. 
I AM who I AM
I AM a runner, a hiker, a dog walker, and a Yogi Wanna-be.
I AM healing
I AM living
I AM loving
I AM WHO I AM
and you know what?
I AM GOING to EMBRACE the journey!
So even though I wasn’t planning on posting today, I did.
I AM allowed to change my mind aren’t i?
What is your “I AM” today?
Cheers,
LC
aww I love it =) Did you not link it up? you totally should have… noone even pays attention or follows the rules anymore anyways… its turned into a giant cluster **** 😉 I’m just kind of along for the ride i suppose! lol

i am… going to help out a friend! but i love the pics 🙂 and the rest of the post of course!

Absolutely love this post!! All so true!
I loved this post! You are AMAZING. That is what you are!! xoxoxo love ya girlie!
well I think that about you friend. I know that YOU ARE LIVING LIFE!
Wonderful post, Lindsay! I especially love the quote – prentending to be normal is just soooooooooo boring (and also straining!), so better back to being me. 🙂
me too. I am glad I am not normal. thats just boring. No plain jane here.
Today I am vulnerable.
I am also a believer.
I am a woman of faith.
I am strong.
I am thankful for this post your beautiful insight. Thank you for reminding me that it’s okay to just be ME. 🙂 xoxoxo
i love this about you! and you know what? You are going to SF!! You are just that COOL!
Lindsay! <3 Love this post. I think it's SO important to take a minute every now and then to reflect on our sense of self. It's so easy to be influenced in today's world…
yes, way to easy to think we need to be someone else or do something that is not by definition “US.” Embrace our wholeness!
You are Healing, Loving and I’m going to add a few more in:
Gorgeous, caring, vibrant, and just plain beautiful!!
Love your posts!! You inspire me!
xxoo
wow, thank you Kris. I think you just described YOU! plus you are now a RUNNER!
This is beautiful. It’s full of heart and soul – it’s YOU in words. You are who you are and I love you just the way that you are!
I am fiercely dedicated…to my husband, my friends, my sisters, my niece. I am a lover, a giver, a dreamer, a hard worker.
I am me. Take me or leave me. 🙂
And i love you for you! I will TAKE YOU! <3
love this post! seriously girl you and us are on the same wave length. that always happens to us about hearing a song that just changes us or well what we are thinking. love music for that.
i know, we are always in sync. Too bad we did not have our weddings at the same time too. haha.
Good one! I am an afternoon/evening person. Well… not really. I’m a morning person, but I need to be today. Soooo, I’m trying to convince myself that I’m an evening person, even if it’s just for today. I have spin class to attend at 6 p.m. and in-laws to meet up with at 8 – I hope I have the energy and willpower for it!
Fake it today. FOr the inlaws! its worth it. haha.
I love your posts Lindsay. They are always so thought provoking and you are just a fabulous and very skilled writer.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
haha, I am learning to love writing. Lots of inspiration out there, like you. <3
Gotta love it when the blog just sort of writes itself you know? Those are the times when blogging is a blessing — and clearly you are blessed and beautiful just as you ARE, right HERE and NOW.
Today I AM going to a better version of who I AM by simply LOVING who I AM.
Because I AM allowed to steal and because —that? Whoa. I get it. I really do. I love the way you think.
PS- thanks as always for all your kind kind words
I AM sure we think ALIKE!
Your posts always give me goosebumps! I adore you gorgeous girl. So many amazing things going on in your life and it makes me smile. I am a WIFE, FRIEND, SISTER, DAUGHTER, TEACHER and a RUNNER:)
and you know what? You are going to be a NYC marathoner soon. That gives me chills!
Today I AM going to make it count 🙂
yes you are! and report back at the end of today. xoxo
I don’t want to bug you!
This was beautiful Lindsay–thanks for keeping it real
I bet you ARE…looking for change? Austin?…
i am love; encapsulated in an imperfect, struggling, beautiful life. i am thankful for wonderful posts from you!
and I am thankful for your comments, which never disappointment me. So powerful!
I LOVE THIS POST!
Love this!
I am… a wife, missing her hubby, but proud as could be.
I am… a friend, excited to spend some time with the girls this weekend.
I am… strong, powerful and brave…
Proud as can be, I love that! and you passionate. Which makes you great at all these. Have a fun girl weekend!
This is so great. I AM a fighter. And a lover. I know its possible to be both, because I AM.
ya you are! and um, you are one BAD ASS professor.
😉
I am a friend, a daughter, a fitness lover, a weirdo (according to my boyfriend), and a laugher. My goal is to make one person smile every day.
and I am a weirdo too. i think its a lindsay thing. I love that you make us smile. You are GREAT at it!
Hmm this is tough.. I am. I really am not sure this changes for me from day to day. Today I am.. a impatient mother who let her daughter push her buttons. Tomorrow is a new day.
and you ARE ALLOWED to be an impatient mother, because the other 90% is loving, selfless, and just plain AWESOME!
Love this, Linds! And I think it’s great that you embrace who you are! I can be a homebody, too, but I love to have people over for dinner and I compromise to go out with Billy. 🙂
Today, I AM not fearful or doubtful. I AM focusing, planning, and creating possibilities. 🙂
you are creating possibilities for so many people Dorry, thats what I love about you!
Ha you ARE allowed to change your mind, your post theme, your goals, your motivation/inspiration, your path in life, your country of residents – whatever you want! 😉
I AM healing, learning to do with what I put on my own plate, a supportive significant other, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and another yogi-wanna-be (working on those skills this week, when running is off the agenda).
and you are a GOAL setter. I love that about you. oh and that we are yogi wanna be’s together.
ahhh! i kinda love this. but i kinda love all your posts 🙂 so often it is easy to think well…i will just start over tomorrow. we forget that we can stop in that moment and change…embrace that moment different and the next one different from the one before.
i loved reading your “I ams”. I am many of those things and to add I am curious–a lover of life–a person who loves to learn and figure out more about myself, my experiences, and the world around me!
Thanks again…I am glad that you “changed your mind” to write this post today! 🙂
totally! we live life by moments, not days. You learn and love! I love that you smile through it all Julia!
You certainly are allowed to change your mind 🙂 This was such a lovely post!
I am a daughter, sister, student, friend and I am blessed today…blessed to have such wonderful people be a part of my life
and you are an ATHLETE! thats what I love about you. Glad to see that you are feeling blessed.
🙂
This is beautiful!
I love the quote about pretending to be normal. 😉 I AM blessed today. Blessed to have a home, a wonderful hubby and a dog who is about as “normal” as I am.
hehe, we are normal in our own minds, but thank goodness we are our who God made us, right? Blessed indeed!
I love this post and I love who you are.. unique and one of God’s children! You’re awesome 🙂
I am a dog lover, a sister, a girlfriend, a Christian, and a daughter!
I love those things about you Allie. Child of God and a beautiful heart. <3
Ah. Beautiful! How fantastic that the lyrics of a single song inspired you with this lovely post. I AM a mama to a fur-baby. 🙂 Warms my heart!
you are a runner, a sexy wife, and oh ya, my favorite NINJA!
I am capable of doing things I never thought I’d be able to (feeling pretty good about myself after I’m *pretty* sure I got a fire started in the furnace! *knock on wood*).
I am a work in progress.
And I am in need of a shower =\
yea! this totally makes me giddy Shannon. You are a GREAT work in progress!
I am – going to take a nap!
I am also glad I clicked here today. I missed you!! Hope you are having a great day being YOU.
I hope you got in your nap today. And I hope tomorrow I can follow up on you! I sure do miss you Raina!
PS: You are also an inspiration 🙂 xyx
Lindsay, this is wonderful. I am thankful <3 And endeavour to be every day – to realise I have so much to be thankful for – even on those days it doesn't feel like it – becuase we all always have SO much to be thankful for <3
I am thankful, for example, for this beautiful post, which made me feel so much more positive and uplifted this evening. I really love it, and I'm so glad you posted today <3 xyx
we do!! i need this reminder so much Yolie. We are blessed, we are loved, we are thankful for EACH OTHER! You are my inspiration!
I am a daughter, who is so glad that I’ve been back home to help my Mom through both Hurricane Irene and this freak snow storm. Happy Hump Day Lindsay!
you are a blessing, thats what you are.
xoxo
Oh, I LOVE this post. What a lovely bunch of words to wake up to – set me up for my day all inspired to be the best “me” I can 🙂
I do my best thinking in the kitchen too… the wine totally helps. I actually think I cook better after a few vinos, everything seems to come together better (or in my head it does, I’m just gunna go with it!)
I AM a survivor, everything I have been through has made me who I AM, and I AM thankful for that. I AM blessed to be living the life I do.
and I AM sooooo glad you decided to post today, love your work 🙂
I can’t wait to hear about your life Lou. I know you are survivor and you have a great story! Cheers to strength!….and wine.
😉
Oh I love this post friend! So great. And I am glad you blogged it out. Ever so eloquently too 🙂 Today…I am NOT overthinking. And that feels freaking awesome.
yea! thinking is so over rated these days. You are WITH POWER NOW, thats what you are. haha.
I am not patient. But I’m working on it… =)
oh ditto to that. We are a work in progress. patience is a tough one, but worth it!
LOVE this post that almost wasn’t! your words are always wise and inspiring – and I LOVE this list of who you are – so much to so many.
I am… planning. 😉
you are planning?? ohh…..i need details. hehe.
I am a beautiful person inside and out! I am a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and a wonderful friend!
LOVE this post!!!
<3
and you are genuine! I love that about you katie. Glad to hear your dad is doing well. <3
i absolutely love this lindsay! i love who you are….kind, considerate, real, truthful and fun…..someday we will run and have wine together oh and meet sadie!
yes, lets plan on that! I truly believe it will happen!
What a beautiful post! You’ve made my day! 🙂
We made each others day.
🙂
I AM happier than I ever have been in my life 🙂
You ARE amazing!
and I AM SO SO happy to hear that. Live it now!
You are a beautiful person inside and out. So glad you are embracing everything that you are. Nice uplifting post to read 🙂
My “i am” today is: I AM accepting change!
good change? I bet it is! change means growth! yea!
Great post!!
I am a woman searching and seeking after who the Lord wants me to be in His plans for my life!!
I AM strong! 😀
what song sparked this?!
It was a christian song on the radio. Totally forgot the artist, but reminds me of the GREAT I AM!
I absolutely love this post – so glad you are who you are. Love you just that way! We are all so many different things aren’t we? We aren’t just a label, but so many facets of a person. And most definitely allowed to change our minds on who we are or want to be.
I too want to be better at who I am. And like you, this means loving who I am first.
yes, we need to love ourselves! And yes, we often change our minds, women are ALLOWED! haha.
I love this person, a lot. Beautiful post. You are a rock star, a motivator, an inspiration, an amazing person. 🙂
I often think I’m bipolar, haha.
oh girl, i am bipolar too. I think its called being a woman? But i love bipolar YOU!
I love who you are!
and I love you! always will.
I AM…not afraid of who I am
As usual- lovely post.
oh thats awesome Kristen! Fearless and Bold!
I am a passionate and strong woman that will achieve my dreams. I’m an exhausted college student hoping for my next class to be miraculously cancelled.
oh i hope it was canceled. I hope you got a NAP!
How do you always write things with so much meaning? You amazing me every time! I love this post! You really are all of those things and more! I AM a mother, a wife, a friend, a cook, a dork, a workout freak, and…so much more, but I’m not much of a thinker these days, so that’s all I’ve got.
you are allowed not to think, you are a student right now too! you need your mind to rest!
p.s.
i am a dork too!
Love it!
I am full of zest for life. I am an athlete. I am happy and eager. I am tapering (note: feel free to check back in 2 or 3 days for less happy taper thoughts LOL)!
TAPER!! i think you might go crazy by friday. whatcha think?
love, love.
I AM going to quit the halloween candy today 🙂
haha, thats great! just in time for thanksgiving too!
I am tired. Haha 😉 Working until 9 PM and having to be back 8 AM kinda sucks.
I AM impressed that you are still walking. haha. Nap time!
I even got up at 5 AM to run 🙂
of course you did. Youre a rock star. Now serisously, go to bed early tonight!
I plan on it! I’m still at work but getting off in 17 minutes 🙂
This is a great post, and great reflection on life!
Today, all that comes to mind is that I am tired….but also, I am working on figuring things out about what to do with my life (or, where to put my energy and focus). I’ll figure it out sooner or later…so I guess I am confused too 🙂
oh man, i am all of the above too. But that is life, right? Creating that I AM!
Love this! Your posts always brighten my mood 🙂
I am a gal who’s learning, growing, and finding God’s path for my life!
beautiful, that is who you are! Walking down God’s path. xoxo
I am…
learning – about my role, about how to love others, about what it means to pick up my cross daily and follow Him.
loving – my husband, short HIT workouts, chia seeds, family!
living – life to the fullest…at least trying. I get distracted easily from what truly constitutes life to the “fullest.”
Love you, Lindsay, because you.are.YOU!
and I love you for you! constantly learning from others, from God, from oursleves. Pick up that cross, its yours!
I am a pregnant woman who is craving everything she reads about on blogs today! I am now craving red wine. I think that one will have to wait! 🙂
oh soon friend soon! I’ll cheers to you when you have that baby!!
Love this Lindsey! And we all need a day off from time to time. You’ve earned it! 🙂
yes we do. But i am glad you commented because its SO SO good to hear from you!
You’re so sweet! I haven’t had time for much blogging/blog reading/social media anything lately so I feel really out of the loop.
I am strong despite my injuries…struggling through some more tendinitis and keeping a strong mindset on recovery…
I like the switch up, I don’t think I am blogging about my usual “What I love Wednesday” today either…
Yes you are. I fact, you are STRONGER despite your injuries. Can’t wait to catch up on your post when I get home.
seriously lady, i love your posts! my I AM today is… I AM a forgiver.
so glad you had a change of heart and decided to post!
you are also a GO GETTER! and I am so glad i posted just to hear from you! I need my daily dose of Kim.
<3
I AM a student who can be productive.
I don’t comment often, but your posts always, always make me smile. You encourage me so much! <3
and you know what, you just made me smile.
Thanks Ruthie.
