Welcome to our monthly ezine! February is heart health month - which means many of us are tackling New Years' resolutions to exercise more and take care of our heart health! For some this is a daunting challenge, not unlike trying something new for the first time. My kids are now at an age where going to youth camp is a really big deal! One of my kids is more of an extrovert and really looked forward to the few days away. The other one is more shy and it was a major stretch to agree to go! The great thing we can see now is that, on the other side of the experience, they have both have learned something new about themselves: "I can do it!" and there is more courage and confidence for the next time.
Even as adults we face new challenges. It's a new year and many of us have already faced difficulties we may not have seen coming. Others are choosing to step into new adventures like training for a half marathon, or your first ever 5K! In any case, when we face a challenge and we choose to move through it - we GROW!
Here's hoping that over this year, you will face challenges with a willingness to not just stand strong, but to MOVE forward and GROW! Afterall... that's what LIFE is all about!
