Woot woot! 🎈🎉 What a difference a year makes!
Our family has tried to eat healthy for a while. Inflammation, infertility, migraine headaches and more taught me a long time ago that nutrition matters. But last Spring, I hit a tipping point. We were all suffering from severe allergies and asthma. In the middle of one night, I took Buddy to the ER because he couldn’t breathe. Weeks later, Mamaw was diagnosed with tongue cancer. She died four weeks later. I believe she was sick and feeling bad long before any of us knew.
I was angry and increasing frustrated that good health was evading us even though we tried to do “the right things.” I needed better. My family needed better too. So I enrolled in the Institute of Integrative Nutrition’s 12 Month Health Coach Training Program. I committed to a year of self discovery and study. I wanted to learn about holistic health and nutrition. I needed to achieve a better future for myself and my family.
Today, I finished my last exam! I graduate in June. But our world is different than it was a year ago. Despite and because of this pandemic, nutrition remains important. Good health has taken on a whole new level of significance. I’m so grateful I took this opportunity to study and improve my family’s health.
Right now, I’m home with the littles full time, but I’m taking small steps forward when I can. I know this past year has been a stepping stone, and I look forward sharing what I’ve learned to create a ripple effect that helps others feel their best too.
It’s all a work in progress but it’s fun to dabble in this nourishment project when time allows.
Corona has changed things. Don’t let it change you. Keep dreaming. Keep fighting. Keep working. Keep doing. 💕
