Planning ahead and getting the rest of my family on board to healthy eating. I am collecting clean eating recipes and having my family choose the ones they'd like to try. We all pitch in, in the kitchen. We are accustomed to making all our meals from scratch due to allergies (nuts, peanuts. eggs, shellfish, dairy) and taking our own food with us on the road while not eating out. The big difference now is staying away from grains and processed foods like cereal, pasta, and sauces, while focusing on clean whole food ingredients, mainly meat, fish, vegetables, healthy fats. It is a full time job with this family but I'm determined to help all of us be as healthy and happy as possible!

That is so true. For example, just yesterday, I taught eleven youth (6 year olds to sixth graders) their first archery lesson. Everyone seemed nervous at first, especially me as I haven't led a group this size in a while and their parents and the rec leader were watching. I thought to myself, 'Why did I take on this job? It might be a flop.' It was too late to turn back and I put 100% effort into it. Eventually, they seemed to feel empowered and happy by this new skill, and I asked the oldest one to start coaching others so we could finish the lesson within the time frame. By the end, all the children were excited for next week's lesson and the new 'assistant coach' said, "Thank you for letting me teach." It was such a successful experience for me to have brought sunshine into these kids lives and makes me want to forget my fears and live my best life so that I may continue to inspire others to find their purpose.
