I TRIED LIFE-From the Beginning

There are many times when life presents situations that cause us to Rethink, Reevaluate and Restructure our lives!  Towards the end of 2012 and into the beginning of 2013, I realized that I wasn’t living life to the fullest and I that I really couldn’t say, I TRIED LIFE!  FEAR (False Evidences Appearing Real), setbacks, bad memories, laziness, putting others first, anxiety or uncertainty were some of the excuses I consciously and subconsciously thought about, which in essence kept me away from Living a Happy & Fulfilled Life and TRYING LIFE!

I decided at the later part of 2012 that I would TRY to make my health and happiness a priority.  My goals for the New Year of 2013 included the same things as most other people; creating Resolutions to get healthy, eat better, diet, exercise, travel more, meet new people, do more in life, volunteer, etc!  Many times I don’t make it through the month of January sticking to my Resolutions, but this time, things turned out differently!   I had a different mindset and I had the great fortune of meeting a wonderful Personal Trainer who has now become a great friend, Tracey Caddy.  Tracey talked with me about personal training and I decided to give it a TRY at least twice a week.  I figured I’d TRY to make it 30 days and see if I’d still follow through on future sessions.  I am happy to report, 4 months later, Tracey continues to challenge me to TRY new exercises and activities in life, eat healthier, lose weight & inches and she continues to inspire me to be the Best & Happiest person I can be!  Sometimes that means removing unnecessary and unwanted situations, people and things from our daily thoughts and lives.

Through the shift of these areas in my life, I keep thinking about what Tracey continuously tells me, “You can do ANYTHING you want to do...Just TRY!” and “I CAN'T is not an option and a word we don’t say!”  This new found belief and mindset (which sometimes I’m not always keen on believing when I’ve had a hard day, someone has upset me or things just aren’t coming together at the pace I want them too) is what has driven me to want to LIVE LIFE more fully and TRY new things! 

I want this blog to serve as a place to be a resource, recognize friends & businesses, share ideas, photos and stories of my journey in life as well as sharing the inspiring photos, fun and journeys of others!  I hope these will inspire EVERYONE to be able to say at the end of the day and at the end of life...
