Yesterday was an eye opening, Ah-HA kind of day for me.

As I was reading through my tweets and checking out the different posts of the bloggers I follow, I came across one that made a significant impact on my life. It was a post by @MizFitOnline called Exercise is Not My Passion. As I read the post, it gave me goosebumps.

You see, for as long as I can remember, I have been “into” fitness and healthy nutrition.

It IS my Passion.

If I could live in a gym, I would.

If I could exercise all day/every day, I would.

I read about it, I watch videos about it, I train others how to do it and 99.9% of the time, it comes up in conversations I have with just about ANYONE… from the pastor at my church to the secretary at my kids school.

But, after I read that post (Exercise is Not My Passion by @MizFitOnline), I stopped and thought about how true her words were and how they gave clarity to my daily actions and career choices.

See, I am a type-A, Gen x, multi-tasking, entrepreneurial, think outside the box kind of girl. It isn’t unusual for me to come up with a new business idea or product I could patent, multiple times a day. It can get a little crazy up here in my head. Thank God I have a supportive husband who listens and brings me back to ground zero.

You see, as a Radiation Therapist (RTT) for the past 13 years, and a crazy fitness freak for my entire life, I have struggled with seeing exactly what God’s plan was for me.

“Maybe I should do this or maybe I should do that” is a VERY common phrase in my vocabulary.

I enjoy being an RTT. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that I am helping others in their fight against cancer.

I also enjoy being a fitness trainer and wellness coach. I continually strive to educate myself, obtain/maintain certifications and motivate others to live a healthy life.

And so, as I read on, MizFitOnline finishes her post by saying,

 ”My passion is helping people & promoting healthy living.”

Well, Ta-Da!!

That’s IT!

Yes, I love fitness and exercise but that is just part of the whole picture!

I have a passion for helping others live a healthier life and be the BEST that they can be!

So, as I move forward, I will combine my career as an RTT and my love of fitness and healthy nutrition. I will follow my TRUE passion, and also what I now understand to be my calling of helping others by motivating, promoting and educating a healthy living lifestyle.

A very BIG thanks and shout out goes to:

 @bonnielang for being a new friend that I have found SO much in common with. Good luck to her and her husband as they try to create a much needed webseries to help young cancer survivors. Click here for more info on that project and here for Bonnie Lang Fitness. She always has a LOT of great fitness tips and workouts to share.

@aBLYSSa  and her post about What Should I Say to the 16 Year Old You? Wow! It is a post (and video) that will stop and make you say…

Okay 16 year old me…. DON’T slather on Crisco and lay in the HOT August sun on a deck chair over aluminum foil.

It is just plain STUPID and RISKY!

And last but certainly not least, @PowerCakes and @justkeepsweating have both been motivating me to be the best I can be.

I really look forward to trying some new exercises and eating your delicious recipes.

Thanks!

QUESTION OF THE DAY!

 Do you have a dreamjob that combines your passion and career? What is it?
