Currently feeling ALL the emotions. Last week I had a great idea to go all out in November. To stop hiding behind excuses and fears and to commit 100% to everything I have been SAYING I would do. . And if you know me you know I generally start big. So, this morning I’m going back to Boot Camp style workouts and going to the dentist 🥴 . Why are these fears you ask? Let’s break it down. I have been self conscious about my body since I was 8 years old. I had a stocky athletic frame as a child/teen gymnast but I was also surrounded by people who influenced body shaming ... coaches, family, even media publications (think Twiggy sized models everywhere). . I have always felt inferior, not good enough, and have opted to work out in private to avoid stares, whispering and public shaming. It’s a little ridiculous to think that I, a size 10, would have a gut wrenching fear of going to the gym. That stops today. . The dental visit fear goes back 20 years to a botched wisdom tooth extraction. As a result I find myself needing a deep scaling and that honestly frightens me more than the gym. But it’s November and I am committed to making all the changes this month. ..in life and in business. . I realized over the weekend that I’ve been playing small for several months and it’s time for me to grow again. Playing small is playing safe and I am a risk taker. So here we go. Starting with two “hard things” today. . What changes are you making in November? . #selfworth #embraceyourself #embraceyourcurves #bodyimageissues #bodypositivity #selfawarenessgoals #loveyourself #selfacceptance #conquerhardthings #bulletproof #goaldriven #goalchaser #fitoverforty #fitover40

Yesterday was Grandparent’s Day and, as usual, I’m a day late because I never plan ahead for these things. My grandparents have all passed but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think of them often. I think of my grandfather’s calloused hand holding mine while we walked the golf course. I think back to the social studies project that he helped me with and the conversations we had building that replica of a gold mine on a 3-foot x 3-foot piece of plywood. He looked the other way when I filled a one-gallon glass jar with snails and left it to rot in their laundry room. I’m sure it was quite aromatic once discovered and, while he loved to tell the story, he never seemed upset about the matter. My grandmother ran a tight house. You did what she wanted when she wanted without question. She always made sure she had your favorite ice cream with chocolate sauce. And she loved nothing more than to curl up and regale us with tales of her childhood. I spent quite a bit of my childhood with my grandparents. I loved spending summers with them at the family cabin, learning to play golf, fishing for crawdads and looking for flea-market finds. I feel blessed daily that I was able to spend invaluable time with them as an adult and cherish every memory. I just wish I could go back in time and hold those hands once again. . . #grandparentsday #grandparents #family #love #parents #grandmother #grandfather #familytime #reminisce #grandparentslove #memories #family #generations
