It seems that a new chapter in life starts and ends every moment. When you feel like you just caught up, WHAMMO, another one starts up. (Even more fun is when you find yourself mid-way in a new chapter and you were asleep at the wheel for the first half for whatever reason)
It has been a while. I want to apologize.
Life , as always, has taken lots of twists and turns. Many amazing people have entered my life, a few have left this life, and again as always life moves forward.
A gentleman, by the name of Charlie Engle http://www.charlieengle.com/ has been in the side of my brain for a while. He and I raced in Borneo-Eco Challenge Sabah on different teams. He started his 21 month Federal Prison sentence. This is a man that walks the walk. Recovering addict and alcoholic, father of two amazing teenage boys and fellow adventurer. They decided to make an example of him-regards to the whole housing collapse. Charlie bought houses-fixed them and resold them. Read his story, he is much better at telling it.
A fine man and real example that none of us are exempt.
In the last few weeks I started working with a coach. Her name is Leah. www.leahjantzen.com , she has single handedly helped me see some things that I could not reach. In January, Arbonne had it's Global Training Conference (GTC) in Las Vegas. My RVP, Dr Stacey Bean, asked me what my back-door was. OUCH. I didn't have a back-door when I was building my Interior Design Firm. Why would I have one now?
But I did/do.
At first I thought it was the belief in myself. I was wrong. Leah helped me see that it was the fear of again losing something that I had worked so hard to build. How could I do it again?
You do it again, just like you wake up every morning to feed your kids despite everything. You get up everyday and put one foot in front of the other. No excuses.
You may not accomplish everything you thought you might or wanted to. Either way, it's a good day.
Back to Charlie.
There is nothing in this life that can stop the human spirit. He wrote about reading Nelson Mandela's book about prison. President Mandela loved running in place (RIP-the name). That kept him going, fit and focused. Let's all take a tiny piece of that and sometimes we have to run in place, other times we get to run like our legs are those of a cheetah. NO EXCUSES.
love you best,
I promise I won't be long.
