It always makes me sad to sign on here and see the length of time that has gone by since my last post. 9 months of my life have passed... and they've been a 'doozie'.  :)

I found my job in June. By the grace of God, I am employed as a Resource Development Director for a nonprofit that gives employment-skill education and job opportunities to the homeless. The best part is that I'm technically an employee of United Way of Larimer County and (finally!) have great benefits for both of us.

We downsized an incredible amount and as we stepped into our "forever unless Mom gets married" Fort Collins home, it felt like a FRESH wave of NEW beginning. I am basking in emotional and physical rejuvenation, I'm enjoying the "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" each night.
I love our home. I feel spiritually, emotionally and intellectually in-line, accomplished and challenged (in a good way). I finally am re-gaining the energy and mental motivation to get healthy and physically where I want to be.
I recently saw the image above, and it resonated with me. I've kept my mind set lately even when it was hard and I didn't want to. I am not looking down, and I feel strong!

Bottom line- Life is feeling normal and good again.

I feel that my posts will be coming more often and will be positive in context.
