September was a crazy month but made it through ok!
Had 4 business trips (4 overnights) and laser eye clean up but finished up ok!
On the good side got to see a bunch of friends, family has been great, and found a new church, and attended an incredible Entrepreneurship conference! My son and daughter both started new jobs!
Recently my mind has been cloudy - realized I was doing too much with my day job, travel, Beachbody/ Integrative Nutrition biz, entrepreneurship for the future. Fortunately plans fell through for the weekend (well part fell through and part I decided not to go for retreat) !
So my 3 goals for the month of sept
- Sign up and take crew class
(Decided to wait until the spring when the weather is nicer)
- Get
on to regular workout routine that energizes me!
(TOUGH time of this - so annoyed at self that I couldn't get on track - but realize have to be less kicking self and encouraging as I get back)
- Solidify wellness as part
of career
(Beachbody/IIN ) Health - Balance
(Entrepreneurship) Long term - ehealth - digital health through corporate decide mission
- (I'll add a 4th - blog once a week) :)
(Oh well once a month)
So... my goals for October
- Regular workouts - healthy and enjoy!
- Wellness approach
- focus on restarting, starting, balance, growth, joy, love/passion, peace/rest, integration!
:) 2 simple and sweet and doable!

Where did the time go?
Hard to believe it's already September. Like most of us September heralds new beginnings. I think we never outgrow that back to school feeling, anticipating what new learnings are in store for us. The only difference as adults we need to open ourselves up to new learnings!
Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons, even if we don't sign up for it. Sometimes the lessons are nudges, other time major life changing jolts.
In March while on a Habitat for Humanity mission group in NOLA, I detached both my retina and macula and lost vision in 1 eye (seeing only black - with a very small area of vision). I was able to fly home to Boston and had surgery at Mass Eye and Ear where they reattached both retina and macula. My vision can now be corrected to 20/40! Recovery was 5 weeks of face down bed rest. People asked if I went stir crazy, but knowing that following dr orders was 50% of recovery success, I had no problem.
I definitely have a new outlook on things. During my recovery I focused on all I had to be grateful for - kids taking care of me, short term disability at work, my faith, ipod/iphone (portal to the outside world - I couldn't use a laptop as it was too big), the best drs in the world.
The song "I can see clearly now" was my mantra!
In April I was given the green light to workout again but I just couldn't get in the groove - I had about 5 starts and stops April - August... Having worked out regular for the majority of the last 23 years this was something new. I was also travelling for work a lot.
In May/June I did a 21 day reset - was WONDERFUL. It was all home cooking and after 4 days vegan. Our fridge was packed with healthy produce. Even now 3 months later, I'm 100% off butter, virtually off wheat, and eat A LOT more veggies. I feel so much better when eating lots of veggies.
We had a wonderful trip to Zion/Bryce national parks! Beautiful country. In August on a work outing, I discovered rowing crew and fell in love with the peace of the charles river, the great overall body workout. My schedule has been too hectic to take a class but I'm GOING to sign up today for 3 weeks at the end of the month! Been connecting with old/ new friends, which has been wonderful!
I am now a certified health coach. Figuring out how to combine my passion for health/fitness with my beachbody, health coaching and day job. I'm going to an entrepreneur workshop this week - oh yes after a day trip to Chicago!
So my 3 goals for the month of sept
- Sign up and take crew class
- Get on to regular workout routine that energizes me!
- Soldify wellness as part of carreer
- (I'll add a 4th - blog once a week) :)
Do things that enhance!
- Growth
- Integration
- Health
- Peace
- Joy
- Success
