Kicking Into Gear

Wow... this is such an exciting time to be me. I'm almost envious of myself! Do you ever simply feel good just to be alive and passionate about the things in your life?

Today, I'm feeling quite content (if you couldn't tell)...
1. I had a great 8 mile run on Saturday by myself. I increased my speed and actually enjoyed the mental break of running with others. Usually I enjoy running with others because it keeps me motivated, but for some reason it just felt good to have that time to myself. It was an indoor run, but I did a lot of hills on the machine, so that was an awesome workout.

2. Fundraising for TNT is starting to go into full gear. I'm so blessed to have the support of Heidi and all the staff at Robin's Nest Salon in Milton. They are the best! Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 5 from 12-4 p.m. to get a haircut before Easter! The entire staff there will be working for free that day and charging $20 for all haircuts... with all the money going towards my fundraising efforts. Right now I'm getting food and door prizes donated and getting the marketing materials ready, so if you can help in anyway, just let me know!

3. I spent a nice afternoon with my mom on Saturday. Hadn't done that in awhile and it was fun. We'll do it again this Sunday!

4. Feel blessed to have a church that I have become part of in Madison. First United Methodist in downtown. Inspiring messages, amazing music, and a welcoming church for everyone. And, the youth group sold me an awesome big box of fruit I picked up on Sunday! ; )

5. I have the best friends and family in the world. Although they are truly spread out across the world, I know that they are always a phone call or email away. You know who you are, and I try to make sure you all know how important you are to me. Too often people go through life not knowing how they positively impact others, so I encourage everyone to reach out and tell others!

And that is all I have for now.... must go out and enjoy life!
