Today's thing (I feel like I'm expanding Dr. Seuss' book!) is all about 10 people who have influenced me.
1. My grade 11/12 Social Teacher- High school seems so long ago so I can't remember which grade he taught me. I was contemplating universities and he told me Campus St. Jean was best if I wanted to teach in French. I am ever grateful because my university as my French is soo much better than it used to be.
2. My sister Jodie- It is all because of her and her hubby that I now love MMA so much!
3. My mom- My mom is the reason why I am a teacher. I have been around kids since almost day one!
4. The people of Kenya- My outlook on life was changed significantly when going to Kenya. I give credit to the people I met, as they showed me happiness does not come from what we own.
5. My uncle- He showed me how to keep first things first. He also showed me how to find all the positives in a negative experience.
6. My friend Pam- She is the very reason why I decided to go to Kenya.
7. My grandma- I am almost sure I got my love of music from her! She was always strumming her guitar!
8. My boyfriend Clint- He has taught me how to be flexible. I always used to have to have my weekends planned a month in advance. I have learned to love the joy that comes from doing things at the spur of the moment.
9. Frazer- My friend Jodie's son- Frazer was born almost a year ago and only lived 43 days I believe. In that time there was so much love that went around in that family. There is barely a day that goes by that I don't think of this little angel. He was truly a fighter. I believe that his touching story and the little time he did share, will help me to be a better mom...when that day comes for me.
There you have it!
Fitness Journey: A quick little update! Today my friend convinced me to spend 30 minutes on a Stairmaster! Boy will I be in shape if I keep that up! I had trouble going down my stairs tonight to get to my car! haha ...one step closer to being ready for my half marathon!!
