Hero(es)

Guess what! I’m a hero! Naw, not really, But one person (Hi Jenn!) actually thinks I am a hero… enough to feature me in her way-cool blog, Girl Heroes. Awww shucks.

If you’d like to check out my interview (and photos of myself that I’m too embarrassed to post on my own blog), please go to Girl Heroes. If you have not yet poked around this blog, you must do so! Jenn has an amazing story about battling depression, finding true love, losing 60 pounds, winning a figure competition, being a Mom and a becoming a certified Kettlebell instructor with the HKC. But that is just the tip of the iceberg of Jenn’s story. In fact, she has been blogging quietly for over two years! She has a fun writing style and wonderful content. Run, don’t walk to check out her blog!

Over the course of the last few months, Jenn has also become a friend. She even came to visit me and my Dad when he was released from the hospital a couple of weeks ago. This was a visit that he (and I) enjoyed tremendously.

Speaking of heroes, my Dad’s condition worsened and he is now on his 5th day of hospice care at home. I cannot tell you what an amazingly wonderful service hospice has been. Dad is comfortable and without pain. Our whole family is with him and he knows that he is loved beyond words. Thank you all who have reached out to me and my family. It means more than you can know.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad's worsening condition but very happy you have hospice care. They really are angels here on earth. Sending love and positive energy to you and your family.

Sorry for two comments - I just read your interview - awesome! You are so motivating...everything you've discovered is so true. I have 20# to lose and know the only way it is going to happen is if I get up and exercise every morning and plan my meals better. I did it successfully about 5 years ago and really felt like I had found the golden ticket. Then laxed off and here I am today. Thanks for being so open about your struggles...it really helps to see what works for you.
