I've been very busy the last few weeks, and sadly my little friend here was neglected. So, here we go.  I've been challenged lately to really sit back and look at what is going on in my life.  I am stretched in lots of directions.  The thing is...I love all the directions.  I love being a wife. I'm married to my best friend. It's amazing to see how our relationship has grown over the years...we are coming up on our 10 year anniversary next month...10 years!! And you know...I love him more today than I did the day I married him.  I love being a mom. Seriously. Greatest. Job. Ever.  Though I would love to have more...if these two kids are the only two God chooses to bless me with...my cup runneth over. I love being a rehab nurse.  Children teach you so much about life.  Getting to be even a small part of their recovery after trauma is inspiring...amazing really.  Then there is being a Health Coach.  Now that, that is truly inspiring.  Imagine getting to help people find themselves...helping them realize that they don't have to live in pain, on medications, unhappy with excess weight...imagine a job that paid you to simply love people.  It's an incredible opportunity to be a part of changing the world.
   Change.  That word is a hard one isn't it.  Change is hard in so many ways...but necessary. I've been asked to make a lot of changes in my world lately.  Most of them have been hard. Really hard. Emotionally I've been, well, I'll be honest. I've been a wreck.  But, then I remember that if things didn't change I wouldn't grow. If I hadn't made the decision to take control of my health last year I would still be where I was then.  Thinking about things that way make the growing pains a little easier.
  In regards to this little mustard seed of a business I've started...Joe and I have joined forces.  He's great with people and starting up conversations.  Which is good because I get nervous starting the conversation. I have no problem talking about it...I would shout it from the mountain tops I'm so excited to make a difference! But it's helpful to have that person to walk along with you and help get people excited.  That's what I mostly want to do.  Excite people about the possibility of health.  Not short term, but long term.  Did you know that if an overweight person loses 50 lbs you can extend your life by 10 years? That is huge. That could be the difference between meeting a grandchild or great grandchild.  Can you imagine if we got this generation healthy what that would mean for our children? The benefits of such a change are insurmountable.  Can you see it??
