Checking in

Midway through the final week of January. This month started and ended with a bang.

Here are some of the things that started this month:
1. Empowered You 2022 with my Health Coach, Genevieve.
2. Getting started with my new Personal Trainer, Jenn
3. Getting a 3rd placement.
4. Committing to my career development, by enrolling in a 48 hour Community Health Worker certification course.
5. New membership at Dope Boxing Studio
6. Sober Curious with Womeness Community.

Things that ended this month:
1. Employment at the hospice.
2. Guilt over my current church attendance.
3. Careless spending.
4. My membership at ILKB-Boise.

Things that continued this month:
1. My marriage (to infinity and beyond)
2. My commitment to the families we are fostering.
3. My borderline addiction to Cyclebar. (7 days a week, minimum 1x/day)
4. Continuing to have well-managed diabetes.
5. Commitment to our financial stability.

Discoveries of the month:
1. My community is bigger than I thought possible.
2. My chosen family has grown by 2 sisters.
3. My average mileage and power on the bike are going up.
4. My ability to be out of the saddle is increasing toward full intervals.
5. My tolerance for bullshit is nonexistent.

Gratitude for the month:
1. My granddaughter. She turned 3 this week. She is the bright light of hope for the journey with our son.
2. My husband. He is supportive of everything I want to do and started this month. Even though it means some of his wants are on the back burner.
3. Thankful for the work of Empowered You. It’s causing some discomfort which I know is going to help me grow. I’m both excited by and a little scared of the journey (that’s how I know it’s the right thing for me right now.)
4. Thankful for my meditation practice and the path that it is leading me toward.
