New Beginnings – Life is full of them

I’ve been feeling blah about what I have been for a living for a while. I just lost my passion or my zest but not enough to do anything about it because change is scary and sucks. You get into a rut and while you may not be happy, you’re not so unhappy that you want to do something about it. Make sense? Well that all changed for me a little over a month ago. My friend died. He was 39 and died from complications from Leukemia. He was younger than me and was such an amazing man. I adore him and his wife. His wife and I have been friends for almost 4 years and they had one of those marriages that everyone dreams about. They adored each other, had so much fun together and traveled all over. They never sat around and waited to do something until later. They did it when they wanted to. They had this amazing life and now he’s gone. I’ve been waiting for years to start my life always saying, Oh when we have more money or Oh when I’m thinner I’ll do (fill in the blank). His death made me realize there may not be a later. There may not be a tomorrow. I had seen him in New Orleans 6 weeks before he died. We had made plans to go visit them in August for my husband and my anniversary. Now there is no couples trip for us. His death made me take that step that I’ve been putting off. I’ve completely done a 180 on my career. For the last 5 years I have been in direct sales selling romance products and while I loved what I did for a long time, the last year I just haven’t been feeling it and it showed in my presentations and my sales. So I went about as far away from it as I could. I have jumped into the nutrition and weight loss industry. Now I’m not in any kind of fabulous shape to be promoting weight loss products but I figured that’s the beauty, is if it works for me then it can work for anyone. That I can make a change in my life and help others make a change in theirs as well. I’ve struggled with weight my entire life and if I can concur this then there is nothing I can’t do.
