A life of contentment.

Over the past 6 months I have taken on the challenge of creating a better life for myself,  my family and others around us.  I have started a program,  Take Shape for Life which so far has allowed me to loose 77 pounds and gain my health back.  With this I have started a chain reaction,  and now my husband (45 lb lost), mom (42lb lost),  aunt (20lb lost)  and group of friends have all began the journey of enriching their health and lives. With this program I have become a coach,  allowing me to guide people to a better health whether on the plan or not.  It is so wonderful to have the ability to help people,  but also to have something to me passionate about.  Not only has it helped me find something new I love,  but it has casually helped me break my shell I was in,  fall back in love with my past hobbies (Stampin' Up!) and start to create a better life and fun times doing it all.  All of this has now brought on a great sense of contentment.  For the first time in a long time,  life seems to be rolling at a pace I can handle,  finances are manageable,  and my personal life with family and friends is fantastic! I LOVE my group of friends that I have newly been introduced into (well actually I was full on kidnapped in the middle of the night for, a memory I will Never forget!). Never before have I just jumped I to a friendship.  There had always been a time period where I waded the waters,  tried to find something to not make me get close,  but I have nothing to hold back.  I feel open,  loved,  respected and appreciated all at once. It's an amazing feeling. I am not sure what the future holds,  but I am working on making the parts I can control as amazing g as I possibly can,  so I always have something positive to cling too.  This summer has been amazing. One for the record books.  It feels amazing to finally be in a place of contentment, enjoying life as it is and greatly looking forward to the future as well!
