Skewed Priorities

Sometimes someone gives you a gift that doesn't feel like a gift at first but after you process it for a few days you really embrace what you have been given. I have been struggling these last couple of days with something that happened last week. I was really mad at first. Then the anger gave way to deep hurt. Then hurt gave way to me getting an opportunity to really readjust my life and my priorities. It has been hard trying to balance everything in my life and this gave me an opportunity to step back and cut down to the minimum. Family, Maddie, dance and my health.

I have been waking up day after day after so exhausted I had a hard time concentrating but the last couple of days have been cleansing. I am writing to-do lists and sticking to them! Yeah! I am feeling so optimistic like I am getting that motivation back that I lost. I am also remembered this guy named....uh...oh yeah...God and how important He is to me and how much He has given me. I think after this weekend my reset will be complete. Nothing like a big dose of family to help you remember who you are and what is really important in life.

Another thing that I noticed today was how much I have been missing dancing. We have been doing a ton of training but focusing more on the people aspect. The people part is super important as well but the dancing makes my heart sing! Back to the people though, it has been fascinating to really learn how to listen and reflect. You learn so much about people when you step back and just...listen. It has been really great getting to know the people that I work with as well. It is so nice to bond with the people I work with. I haven't felt that in a very long time. Lead, of course, is the main person with whom I connect with but everyone else is so great too. There is a healthy competition between everyone but at the same time there is this underlying desire for everyone to grow and become better. On that note, tomorrow is goal setting day. Isn't the freaking awesome?! In our staff meeting we are discussing our goals. Not just our business goals but our personal goals. I'm so excited I can hardly see straight. I have been lacking in the goal setting department lately and I feel as though this will get me right back on track. Now onto the dancing...I missed dancing with Lead! We danced for quite a while today and it was fantastic! We just work so well together. I'm getting so excited for the competition in November. We are going to rock! Oh! Speaking of which we recorded a couple of our flip attempts and successes last week. Enjoy! (PS. I'm loud)





My routine has been really helping as well. Thank goodness for that. The gym soothes my soul. I also got the results for my blood work back. They came back 100% perfect. Praise God but still slightly frustrating. More later...
