I’m that Girl
Over the last month or 2 I have really been on a journey to
figure out who I am , what I am about, and where I am going. And right now I
feel like it is on the fast track…. Really fast… yes I have my job as a teacher
and other things I do on the side, but what am I doing to take care of myself,
so that I can do my job the absolute best that I can.
So I am that girl that is doing Crossfit… yes, you read that
right, Crossfit. Do I know that just by saying those words you might be
thinking lots of different things, yes, and that is ok. Crossfit has gotten me
to a place where not only am I accountable, but I am surrounded by a community
that cares about me, and wants me to be the healthiest me there can be. They
are encouraging, but we sure do work hard. And the hard work is paying off. I
am down a couple of pounds, but honestly, who cares about the scale. I don’t.
All I care about is being healthy, building muscle and stamina throughout my
workouts so that it carries over into my daily life.
So I am that girl that is an Ava Anderson Non Toxic
consultant. Just the words consultant also has you thinking and pondering I am
sure, “what has she gotten into.”
Here is the difference in saying that I am a “consultant” and not that I
am “selling” Ava Anderson products…
It is about the message… do the Ava Anderson products go along with the
message yes, of course and that is why I am using them, but the things is, it
is the message that is important for people to know. The message is about
chemicals in our everyday products. You think they are safe, even the “clean
products,” but once you start doing the research you realize it is far from it.
I decided to become a consultant because of the message and the initiative the
company is taking to make our world, us as human beings, and the products we
use, safer, without all the harmful chemicals.
I knew that by writing this, I run the risk of judgment or
questioning or wondering, or even doubt but here is the thing. My journey is to
be the healthiest person I can be, not just for me, but for the people around
me, the students I work with, my co-workers, my family, my friends, everyone.
If I am not taking care of myself then how in the world can I influence the
people around me. If I want to share the message of being healthy, and taking
care of this body that was given to me by God, then I have to put action to it.
I am that girl, that has a message, that is not only ready
to share, but to encourage.
I am that girl, that wants to make a difference, and I am
proud of it.
