Yesterday was one of those perfect days that validated my career move. I had a great early session with a client that started my day off right, and then spent some quality time with my niece, who I call my mini-me. We went out to lunch and saw a movie that we have both been looking forward to see for months. At the end of the day, I took a moment to reflect on how much I really enjoy my life right now. Health and fitness are important to me, so I created a new career around them. I appreciate the fact that I help people become healthier for a living. My family and friends are important to me too so I make time to connect with them, and I get to be a friend, a positive influence, and role model. In other words, I am living my truth.
One of the highlights of my day was the conversation I had with my niece. She told me she gave up everything her brother couldn't eat for Lent. He has a ton of food allergies - eggs, seafood, dairy, nuts, and sometimes it's hard to find acceptable options for him in restaurant menus. My niece is a really good kid, but I was still amazed at the level of her compassion for her brother. She came up with that idea on her own, no one suggested it to her. At a certain level, she is putting herself in her brother's shoes for 40 days. Here was another lesson of compassion for me.
