Busy Busy Busy Schedule

So keeping busy is not a problem for me these days. It is finding that necessary down time that I am having a little more trouble with. There is so much life to live, and so many exciting moments to experience that sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect harmony between the two.

I am currently working at NetJets, Tri-Tech Multisport, and trying to start my own home-based business selling USANA products. I work 7 days a week as of this week. I still have to find time to do laundry, shower, brush my teeth, take my vitamins, eat, sleep, and find some time to train for the triathlon. I don't get to train with the team nearly as much anymore and that makes me sad. I have to train alone, and I miss getting to connect with the teammates. It is really nice having someone to run with. I like when I run with Bill because he has helped coach me a lot, and I also like running with Mary because she helps motivate me to push myself more and give myself smaller more manageable goals. I'm almost sad that the race is going to be so soon, but I hope to participate in it again next year, and hopefully get some friends to join with me.

Run, Forest, Run!

Oh man... Running! Ick. I feel like it's the hardest part about training to get motivated for. Swimming is easy because I'm motivated not to drown. Biking is the easiest because I just looooooooooooooove being on the bike, so I don't need to search for any motivation. But running.... ah shoot me. I figured if I reached my fundraising goal, then I should be able to ride my bike the last 6.2 miles instead of running it, right? Well since that is not an option, I realized just how bad I need to get over whatever unconscious fear I have about running, and get my butt out there and (as Nike so eloquently puts it) "Just Do It"! I mean did I honestly think I would make it to the finish line (without walking, which is my goal) without putting in the work? I mean I know God performs miracles, but I just needed to be honest with myself. 

So everyone that I'm training with pretty much knows that I just DO NOT like the run. Well yesterday it was really funny because as our group started off running the trail a few bikes had passed us by. When they went by I kind of reached out my hand as if to say, "trade me", or "take me with you...".  One of my team members, Ann, almost instantaneously said what I was thinking at that very moment... She said I should get a shirt made that says, "I'd Rather Be Riding My Bike". How funny is that? And it's so funny because it's sooooo true!

Well that is my little tid-bit for now. Until next time, and as always...

~Be well~

Today is the only day we have

Today, I race myself.

Do I have what it takes?

Time will tell, and so will I.

RACE HARD! LIVE HARDER!

PUSH YOURSELF! SEE JUST WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!

NO NO NO NO REGRETS!

Women Build

When I was a kid, my mom would not let me use the circular saw when she wasn't home. I couldn't understand why... especially when I had to have stitches from a butter knife (good story by the way)... But now I'm all grown up and helping build houses. :-)

Who Am I?

"I tell you, before the cock crows, you will deny Me three times.
Every thought of your Self as smaller than you really are is a denial of Me.
Every word about your Self that puts you down is a denial of Me.
Every action flowing through your Self that plays out a role of "not-good-enough," or lack, or insufficiency of any kind, is denial indeed. Not just in thought, not just in word, but in deed."
~God~

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I just wanted to thank GOD for the marvelous/resourceful mind that I have been blessed with, and the ideas that spring forth from my soul, and noticed through my mind. There is such bliss when your soul is unfiltered by fear, and realized through love, awaking, and actually feeling and knowing that God is working through you, and it becomes your experience lived. I am so grateful to have realized just how special the whole experience is to me. To actually be living MY joy!!!!

My wish is happiness, peace, and joy for all who choose it!
