This was a post from last Thanksgiving with a few updates...the truth is much of the gratitude I am brimming with today is the same ...
'Tis the time of year to count our blessings. For me there are always many, yet this last year ( OK and the year before too!! ) there were blessings above and beyond blessings.
My friends - my treasured and beloved friends came to me over and over and simply said how can we help, what do you need, how are you?? These words and gestures reminded me over and over how loved and treasured I am, and when in the trenches together-- I can -- we can --- do just about anything. They were there for me in times of need that were emotionally painful. However twisted the turns, I knew that I had their support and care. Here again the wisdom of the human body prevails. Time will tell - Time heals. Grief - another lesson I didn't expect to learn - has taught me yet another life lesson. Loving deeply and feeling loss is a very human thing.
My Matthew and Kate have been on many journeys with their mother, unconditionally they too provided more than the call of duty for a mom who was especially needy and troubled this past year. When my son moved off to college, and did so with such great independence and style - the gift of knowing he's confident and OK was more than any mother could wish for. And My Kate who hugs me with all her might and can match a good cry, tear for tear, is my champion and my inspiration. Her gifts of voice and drama, fill my heart, bring me joy and such remarkable pride. Her compassion for others continues to teach me. She's a treasure beyond all.
Mynutrition business despite my year of personal concerns thrives. When one can operate a profession via the internet, via the telephone and at times via osmosis - that's pretty darn cool. I know that building my nutrition business matched my heart . When you have a profession that parallels all that you believe in - it makes sense to share and foster that belief with others.
Of course having an amazing company and amazingproducts goes without saying - can you imagine if I sold schlock ? I can honestly say I will never have that concern. You can be assured of that as well!! We all can be grateful for this wellness company!
My clients: I would literally be nowhere if I didn't have clients like you to foster the value of nutritional supplementation to. I would not be able to inform, educate, service and do so with a smile, if all of you didn't make it so positively joyous to do so. I love my work. I adore my clients and how joyful they make my work.
Thank you - thank you - thank you for all for your loyalty, your enthusiasm and for sharing me with your friends and family. I hope that all of you know how treasured you are and how privileged I feel to service you.
Two additional thanks - two years ago we got the dog. Sometimes I am not sure why I made that decision. Most days though I know - I have fallen in love with that dog. She gets me out of the house. I know that might sound rather silly - but I am tremendously grateful for the daily exercise and the clearing of my head. I say to myself often what is it dog that you are teaching me ??
Finally - this blogosphere medium for me is exploding. I don't know how else to say it. I had no idea what this vehicle would become. I am stunned and very joyous that I took on this journey.
