long time no talk

Hey all.. Sorry for not writing (Katie brought that to my attention haha) Its just been super busy for the last couple of months. I changed programs so instead of taking massage therapy, I am now taking Personal Training at NAIT. I must say, I really enjoy the campus.. And the eye candy (haha) I also got a new job at Wested helping people rock climb... This is a dream job for me.. Its physical and I can help people and that's what I really want.

I want to share something with you all...(I promised myself I would when I got to this point in my life) Some know others may not... But I am ready to share it. I had terrible self esteem and self image for the past 2 years. I hated what I looked like, and I disliked (and did not really know) the person who I was. I went to see a councilor for the past 2 years and it has helped so much. The reason why I am sharing this is for the past 6 months I have been doing great.. Not just great sometimes  But waking up feeling happy, going to school happy, going to the gym feeling happy, heck even going to work happy..So last week I said goodbye to the councilor and it was the best feeling in the world. I did this for myself, and I give no one credit except for myself.... I did it!!! And to me, that means everything. I am not suggesting counseling is for everyone.. its not... But for me it worked.

Also something amazing happened this week as well.. I am now off ALL medications (I have always been on some type.. Diabetes medication, anti-anxiety meds ect) I took the medication to the pharmacy yesterday... and that was the best feeling in the world.. I think I  started to cry a little bit when I gave him the meds... haha.

I love my life now and would not change it (imperfections and all)

I have had a lot of support from friends (Some don't even know it) and I wanted to say thanks to you all for being my friends and here is to many more years to come.
