"Life is a dance"
Hey readers, this song popped in my head and I knew I had to share it. I have not listened to country music in more than 15 years, so I knew it had to have meaning. Sure does! One reader to a few, I had made a commitment to myself that I would blog every Monday and Wednesday and as life goes..."you learn as you go." There are times in life where you sink or swim, lead or follow, learn or teach and now is a time for me to try even harder at surrendering to God's will. With my health and life's twist and turns I let go to to 'obsolete' commitment. I blog to share my wisdom and experience with others with pleasure. That is what I want it to remain as; not as a 'have to...' So, it is with my pleasure that I will continue to share as much as I can, but in God's timing and not my own.
Hope you enjoy the lyrics of the song. May you find peace and be inspired!
Much Love!

"Blessed, Beautiful, & Balance"
Hey guys! I began my own challenge this past Saturday...several challenges with messages came my way as a reminder. So, I began this 8 week fitness challenge from the outside. I can do it all myself but, I thought perhaps a push and being surrounded my other challengers might help.
I got excited, but as my norm with my disease and I believe many out there, the excitement waivers. I find myself stuck in this limbo between whatever "norm" is suppose to be and what my body can actually do to remain healthy. I am so use to myself always on the go and having the superwoman mentality...
Now that my disease has hit me hard, I find myself with the thought process of "I can do all without limitations" which leads into a repeating cycle of deconditioning. It becomes my cycle of chronic pain/fatigue, frustration, failure, high, motivation, etc. and back around again. The crazy thing is if a proper exercise is done on a regular basis, the cycle can be broken. So, I gotta do what I want to do but...oh, wait with BALANCE and not over doing it.
What is that to a wife, mom, passionist, endurance athlete, sister, daughter??? Oh and wait, each person with Fibro/CFS/CPS has to find their individual remedy to keep flare-up's at bay... So, there is the 20 minute rule of thumb for intervals...the thing is my 20 minute intervals I think might need to be applied to my life wholistically speaking. So, this is my struggle...stay active, balance, self-control, and surrender. "I am a work in progress!"
So, let me share my positive message and hope from this past Saturday. For me it was a reminder of God's presence at all times, and His love for me...
