Correction to Posting for Amazing Success

 www.ksgoins.com. is the correct website address for Karen, my amazing coach and inspiration.
Again, she has so much knowledge and experience in different areas I am sure she can help with and life or career coaching you may need.  Visit the website.  It is so worth it.  
Thanks for the correction on the address Karen.

Amazing Success

Isn't it awesome when friends can inspire you to become a better person?  They bring out the passion (not just the best) in you.  They encourage you and have a way to ask yourself the difficult questions like: 'What do you really want to do when you grow up?', 'What is your purpose on this earth?', 'What's holding you back from going for the gusto?'  These people are rare.   
My friend started off as my life/career coach.  Through her motivation and some deep soul searching on my part, I am doing what I want to do.  I have gotten involved in volunteering again.  This time it is more intense and I have gained so much from it.  It's not just TNT with Leukemia Lymphoma Society but others as well.  I have also reduced the stress at work and can manage my work and staff better.
Karen, you are AWESOME!  
Thanks so much for your encouragement and asking the tough questions.  It took me a long time creating this.  I am still on the journey and enjoying it.
If anyone out there needs a life coach, career coach, a little help finding your way in life, contact Karen at amazingsuccess5@comcast.net
Let's hear it for inspirational friends and creating success!

Friends

So Saturday I got to see a friend I made 15-20 years ago. Yeah, I know that's long ago. Well, we didn't keep in touch, we lived in different countries, living different lives but on Saturday our paths crossed while visiting a family member in the hospital. We had a great conversation and realized we had a lot in common with each other even after all the time that had passed. We made a promise to get together and take her family member out with us for a girl's afternoon out before she goes back home. It's so nice when you re-meet an old friend or create a stronger bond with one you haven't seen in forever.
Here's to friendships awaiting out there for you!

Training

Well, I missed my first training session; however, it was for a very good reason.  I can not share it at this time.  Let's just say it was a personal family thing.  
I am determined to make up my training time.  I've got to cross that finish line.  Not so much for me but for the hundreds of thousands of Americans living with blood cancers.
So, this endeavor as challenging as it will be, will give me an opportunity to re-create my body and get back into shape, rekindle some friendships and create new ones through my fundraising efforts.  And, we are back to my point of creating...following your passion....waiting to do something or waiting for something to create , re-create, what have you.  This applies to family too.
Spend some time today creating new friendships or working on those whom you've lost touch with for so long. You will never know what you find.
Good luck!

Are you crazy????

Are you crazy? That's the comment I received from a few coworkers when I told them I signed up for the Team in Training Marathon to raise funds for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.   I said no, just determined.  I love doing not for profit work and making a change in the world.  I am not doing this to help find a cure for blood cancers but to find a cure and save lives.  I did this before, albeit, 10 years ago, when I was younger and in better shape.  I can do it again. 
I'll keep you posted on my progress with pictures on my TNT website.  I am still constructing it but you will receive notice about it here and in Facebook once I am done creating it.
Do something crazy but safe today!  Maybe re-create yourself?
