Join me on a 4-mile weekend walk as I talk about how I went from a person who never spent any time taking care of myself let alone exercise to someone who enjoys a life full of self-care and exercises 90+ minutes a day…and (the shocking part)…enjoys it!!!
Here’s the only snap I got of when I played Pickleball with real people for the first time! Next week, I’ll try to be brave enough to get a selfie- I have a cute Pickleball shirt I need to share!
And, here’s some of my mediocre, but life-changing pottery! My ceramics class was really the turning point in finding myself again.
I spent many hours each week working on this creative endeavor that was for absolutely nobody but ME. It wasn’t ever something I would be great at, and it would never make me any money. But it filled me up! It was my Unicorn Space, and it snowballed into me taking control of my health and my life again.
I couldn’t get healthy until I started investing time in myself. All the little things…getting my hair done, taking a pottery class, buying new clothes that fit…they are what set me on the path to finding my healthy, whole self again!
Here are some links to things I talked about (some may be affiliate links where I earn a small commission but these are all things I own and love!):
