I quit my job on Friday. I worked for this company for almost two years and really enjoyed most of the job. I loved to train clients to be stronger and healthier and it made the mundane worth it. Unfortunately, the scope of running the wellness center, as wellness manager, became more and more about the mundane. I managed things like towels, floors, lights that had blown out, structural issues and my favorite - complaints.
My wellness center is nestled in the most amazing part of the Asheville and it's breath taking. The members of my community are affluent and the wellness center is private to only homeowners and their families. The membership contains some of the most accomplished people in the U.S. and 99.9% of them were an absolute joy to be around. Friday afternoon,I had a meeting with that .1% and it was after that meeting that I decided this was not my life's work and being in that position would substract another day from what I should be doing.
I came home friday and spent some time thinking about what would appear to the outside world as a very rash decision. I found myself in my daughter's room looking at the wonderful space she had created for herself. I included pictures so the gravity of who she is becoming is evident. My daughter is an amazing young woman. I would love to think part of my work helped to make that happen but I must admit as many parents may, I am just very blessed. Seeing her room and recognizing that am stuck I decided for her, myself and the days I have left to take a HUGE leap of faith and go back into my own life's work. I plan to teach and train and take care of the people who need what I can provide. I plan to teach classes and educate people all over the world and I can't wait. I hope in this leap my children will see you can't ignore your gifts.
My work at the past position got me ready for this time and I am so grateful for it. In fact, although a painful meeting with the .1% person sent me to this place I chose be grateful for the experience as it has led me here.
Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared it just means you do what is best and right anyway.
This year will be great, tough, challenging and exciting. I am looking forward to it and to all of you who wonder what's next-

I'm just discovering this, however, it was at the right time, as always with you! Be brave is a nice new slogan for myself. Relooking at the foods I ate when I was with you. I haven't gained any pounds back that came off with you but have gained some back after you. Many issues with my back that prevented me from "moving" that caused weight gain and increased blood sugar. Finally visited a back surgeon specialist at Emory that recommended aquatic therapy. However, I found a therapist that does palates rehab for chronic back pain and in 4 weeks I have hope of getting my life back. My diabetic Dr wanted to start me on insulin 2weeks ago but is giving me this time in PT and diabetic diet for 3 months to get things under control. So I'm being brave and pushing thru the back pain and getting the most from therapy . Also, making better choices in food. Your recipe I just read looked very good and I'm realizing I need to spice up my diet to stay focused! Thank you for saving my life several years ago. You and your inspiration are in my thoughts more than you know! I'll start following your blog! Be blessed! Teresa
