and my mission is? Well shit, I'm not sure...well not totally. I do know this though, I want to make a difference. I need to make a difference in my life, and I want to make a difference in the lives of all my loved ones. After my sisters passing in December I knew changes had to be made.
Sometimes I get this feeling inside me of wanting to blurt out all my hopes and plans for the future...thinking that if I share them with the world some how magically everything will just fall into place. Then I think, and I realize I don't really want to share my ideas...out of fear of them not working out. But maybe it's O K to share some? Yeah that will work.
So...in a few weeks I'm officially a student again. I've decided it was time for me to finally go back and take up something I love. With recent events in my life trying to get healthy is important. Being healthy and raising a healthy family is my goal. Getting my kids to try new meals and enjoy veggies like their father and I do. Eliminate fast food (ok well as much as possible) and exercise often and having fun with it. I will be taking Nutrition, Health & Wellness, and classes in Culinary Arts Management. My ultimate goal? To own and run my own "Nay's Kitchen" name pending of course :)
Recently my children and I have been taking part in local walk a thons and have had a blast doing so. I've started a list of upcoming walk and runs that I want to be apart of as well as ones that have past so I am ready for next year. I even e-mailed a lady for a walk this coming weekend, registration is closed but I'd really love to volunteer at the event. Its to raise money for WEAVE (Women Escaping a Violent Environment) how could you not want to help a cause like that? Its something I know about first hand and something that I think I could really get involved in.
I also learned tonight that October 2nd is National MRSA Awarness day, and I am on a mission to raise awareness for the disease that helped take my sister away from me. I'm not exactly sure how...but I will. I wont let my sisters pain and struggles be in vain. I refuse to let everything she went through be for nothing. Baby steps. I'll get to where I'm going. I know I will...I'm on a mission.
Rants and raves of a thirty something mother of 4...who met a man with 3 kids of his own...call us crazy, but we've fallen in love and have decided to make our families one. Oh yea!! haha things have changed!
Yes, please do share lol.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go back to school..Crazy as that sounds and reminding myself that it took me 7 years to finish the first time.I had to take Intro to Nutrition & Sports Nutrition and didn't think about it too much then.I didn't do great in them either.Now I wish I had. My minor was Health and I got A's in all those classes.
Whenever Nay's Kitchen is ready, let me know. I'll be on my way. I have yet to do any walks but I should. I've been trying to get back at the gym everday and walk..I've upped it to an hour thanks to listening to music on youtube.
Toni I think youre such a smart girl...I think you & I could do well together. :) Maybe we can collaborate on some HEALTHY pancit palabok & kassava recipes lmao Ive always wanted to make those dishes but always felt so guilty when I saw all the unhealthy stuff my mother in law put in them lol
