What makes me... ME

I am one of those people that answer "how old are you?" with "old enough to know better than to answer that question. I think old jokes and punchlines are hilarious and if that makes me un-cool, I just don't care.
I find myself very entertaining and think other people should too. I'm not one who is much for small talk because I feel like I have nothing exciting to say but then once you get me going, it's hard to shut me up. That makes sense in my head, hopefully it does in yours.
I have spent most of my life trying to be a positive person. I try to turn frowns upside down and bring out the best in others. In recent years, I lost that. I have become so focused on my job and making money I've lost sight of a lot of things. I have tried to be the best at every thing that I do and it has made me blind sighted to the life going on around me.
Anyway... that sounded like the start of a sad blog post..... let's stop there.

I am a hard-working woman. I have a beautiful daughter, Lily and a loving and supportive husband, Adam. I have been married for over a decade. WOW!! That almost hurts to say it like that. Now, it's a few months over a decade but nonetheless... We live in Kalamazoo just because it's where we landed. I came to Kalamazoo after high school to attend Western Michigan University and then after graduating just stuck around.

So there you have it, I am a WMU graduate and even after I graduated I didn't really have a career in mind. Lots of different jobs and careers appeal to me, but there is that whole fear of failure thing that has kept me from most of it. I have a full time day job as the store manager of a convenience store. It's not my dream job, but it definitely takes care of my family's needs and wants. 

I am starting a new adventure in this life. I have started as a coach with Beachbody. I LOVE this opportunity. I am enjoying the changes in my life and can't wait to be inspiring others. Like my coach Krysta would say, I am a work in progress. Every day is a new challenge and a fresh start.
