When Does it Begin?

I heard one day if you never jump, how will you know if you can do it. It's called a Leap of Faith and lately I have been dong a lot of those leaps. I started my permanent life changing jump Jan 2011 and I haven't landed yet. I'm not sure I want to land either because this is one amazing ride! I decided it was time for me to put myself first. My physical, emotional and mental health needed to be taken care of. So my adventure began. 

How many times have we said to ourselves, "Tomorrow I will start" or "I'm going out for dinner and drinks with the girls, so Monday it is" ?? Really? Will you? What will it take to make you step out of your comfort zone? And do we truly know what our comfort zone is? I thought I knew mine until I was guided to try something new. And then again and again. Now I have no idea where the line is :) And that is Fabulous! 

Most of us are mothers, wives, sisters, friends, employees etc.. pick your title but under that badge it is still you. We all say we lead busy lives yet how many of us take the time to get our hair cut/coloured/highlighted or to get a mani/pedi or sit for 45 min to get our nails done? I am guilty as charged! But I also take 1 hour a day for myself as well to get to the gym or go to Beautyfit Bootcamp to make the rest of me as pretty as my hair and nails. Because I am worth it!! And you are too....

I'm not a rockstar or a glamour model. What I am is, an everyday woman. I'm the one at the grocery store with my bedhead hair in a bun on the top of my head getting milk and lunch meat at 7am in my slippers. Or driving my teenage son to Co-op placement at 5am and then heading to work. I am also the one you see sweating and watching my hour long show at the gym on the cross trainer ignoring the world around me and taking time for me. All of the changes that I've made didn't happen overnight and I bet you're wondering just how I did it. No worries, I'll let you know when come back and read in a few days.

Take inventory of your day. How much time did you schedule just for you?
