Status.........
Well, a few more weeks of the proposal project, then I can go back to using that time to write and get the NF book done for the year. Damn it...some writing will get done! Hehee. Honestly, I miss being able to sneak in my writing sprints and working on my fiction...
On the fitness front, I did get in 1.69 miles today in the 30 minutes. If you want to keep track, you'll have to head over to MBS Works site. The health and fitness blog is up there, plus, I talk about all the new and interesting things I'm getting pulled into as a Wellness Coach.
Tonight, was a Zonta International meeting (a services organization dedicated to helping women and children locally, nationally and internationally...FIND one near you and participate...it's ONCE a month people) ...can I tell you how much I love being an entrepreneur and getting involved with local associations to help effect change in our community? I've met some great people who are dedicated to their businesses and their families. They really want to build the local communities as well. I'm afraid, if I'd remained just a 'writer', I never would have ventured out of my shell to learn more about those around me. Because I've gotten past my innate tendency to be an introvert, I've met some wonderful people, gotten to hear some great stories AND been able to participate in some heart warming projects. And for me...this is personal...I know now how much our household struggled in my growing years, and you don't see it as a kid...so, I just want to make things better for others, as we have for our little guy. Even if you don't have money to give....you have TIME.
Give some. You might be surprised what the Universe gives back.
And, because I'm in that mood....thank you to:
Namaste

- Cat for supporting EVERYTHING I do or even attempt to do. There are cycles we don't always sync up...but we do get back to us. It's a lesson for both of us :) But we get there, we grow, and we move on. Such is the nature of a partnership!
- Pup for the 'mommy I love you' at random times...for the kisses, for the face pats...for the arguments and the 'yeah, let's do it' - I savor it all even if I forget to do so in the moment for some of it.
- Ewoh (even though he hasn't posted since FEB!) and Julainne (for making me smile and helping me be a more patient and understanding MOM) for getting me running.
- My family and extended family for supporting me (and pup sitting when needed ;) ...you ladies and gents know who you are.) I am who I am because of my support network, without you guys....sheesh...I don't even want to think about it!
- BiBs - ladies,...for the meetings, the support and the oh.....just being there ;)
- Karate for Kids - for getting pup focused and ME past the issue of taking a hit...I'm so looking forward to achieving my black belt and being able to teach others how to find the power and focus within themselves.
- Kim - for helping me get the business (ok, businessES) organized and taking over some of the 'stuff' I needed to be doing but just couldn't get to because there are NOT enough hours in the day (btw- do NOT look at the time stamp for this post LOL)
- And, last but not least, because she crafted the core of my nature, my mother because she's her... there are days we disagree, we get on each other's nerves, we're over worked, we need more vacation time, we listen, we don't listen, we don't spend nearly enough time together...and, and, and,....but on the important stuff, she taught me, she let me learn, she let me grow AND she just gets it...and lets me deal. And for that, I'm thankful. I owe who and what I am to her training and can only hope to impart that to pup as he grows. I'm sure she'll get a whole blog dedicated to her when we get closer to Mother's Day...it may be a Hallmark holiday, but it's a damn good reminder to thank the person who brought you into the world :)
Namaste
You ain't so bad yourself, kid ;)
Thanks for the constant encouragement. XOXO
Cat
