#TuesdayThoughts - Finding People Who Believe in You!

 

3.6-ThoughtfulTuesday - Tribe 

 

 

Finding your Tribe is the buzzwords these days and while I tend to resist anything that sounds "trendy," this resonates with me to the core!   

 

I mentioned on Monday that I had a challenging month and I would have never made it through without the support of my "Tribe."  

 

Despite their current challenges & busy busy lives, my fellow weirdos, took the time to text, call and even force me outside of my "cave" to make sure that I knew that they had faith in me.

 

Even if I fell...

 

They assured me that they would pick me up, dust me off and send me back on my way...

 

I would be nothing without them...

 

#FindYourTribe...and let them know how much you love & appreciate them...

#ThoughtfulTuesday! - USING DAILY HABITS TO CHANGE

 

 

1.9-ThoughtfulTuesday - Daily Habits.jpg

 

It’s #ThoughtfulTuesday and as promised, I’m sharing my Daily Habits that I created for 2018.  We all know that it’s not enough to say you want to change, it’s the actions that we do faithfully that will “transform” us in the people we want to be.

 

I’m starting an intensive Functional Medicine program in February as well as finishing up my Personal Training Credentials.  I feel like I’ve been only focusing on those things and at the end of the year, I was burnt out and feeling very disconnected.

 

My 2018 Intentions includes more Nurturing and Connecting!  And while this looks like a lot of work, it really wasn’t…Each item took no more than 5-10 minutes (except for the sleep part) and it made me feel accomplished and good at the end of the day!

 

I used an Excel Spreadsheet to track it and my hope is that I can work on it every day and see how I do.  I don’t expect perfection but at least I have something to work up to.  

 

What’s on your list?  Please share and let’s support each other in being the best that we can be!

Happy Dia de Los Muertos...



10.31-diadelosmuertos




Today is Halloween but some may also know that it’s also Dia de Los Muertos…aka Day of The Dead.  This holiday honors and remembers friends and family members who have passed.

 

My mom passed away over 3 years ago and there isn’t a day that goes by that I wish I could talk to her. 

Which is really ironic…when she was alive, it was always such an effort to make time to see her.  Between being a busy single mom and a traveling consultant, I would often have to reschedule our time together.  Many times, I’d want to cancel but she ‘d always accommodate me and move her schedule around so we could meet up.  We'd often have coffee in her back patio where she would point out each butterfly.  She’d always know when I was struggling and say the right words to get me back on track.

 

What I would give to have that time back. 

I’d tell her about how overwhelming it was to change careers and start on a new path. 

I’d compliment her on how she ran a household and a preschool all at the same time and still manage to always be stylish and put together. 

I’d ask her how she dealt with a snarky teenager who mood swings are like our SoCal weather…beautiful, one day…foggy and grim the next.

 

Last week, as I was recovering from a bad head cold and contemplating “chucking it all” and going back to my comfortable corporate life, I got little signs of encouragement from my mother. 

A butterfly outside the window. 

A necklace that she ceremoniously gave me when I adopted my little one suddenly appeared. 

A picture of the two of us on Halloween dropped out of the bookshelf.

Even Facebook got involved…in my memories, it highlighted the time we celebrated a milestone at her favorite restaurant. 

Despite my mom passing, her presence is always felt. 

 

Several things to take away from this:
 

-What goes around, comes around… I now always accommodate my busy daughter’s schedule so we can have that quality time

 

-You can never outrun your mother…she’ll always find you!

 

-In times of need, your loved one will always be there…

 

Happy Dia de Los Muertos, Mom
