  • “Sleigh” Your Goals
    2024/12/11
    Start Today! Start Now! Today! What are you waiting for? I know, I know, it's the holidays. You are busy and can't find the time. Me too! But, if you are serious about your goals, and know your 'WHY' then get to it. I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of "New Years Resolutions". For a majority of people it is a procrastination technique to get thru the holidays, feel horrible about how you celebrated all holiday season, to join a gym or set goals that are extreme, only to drop them by February or March. Instead of being excited and uplifted by the challenges, you are left feeling defeated and miserable for failing. Who needs that? Instead, start small now. No matter what your goals are in life, starting when you are busy just requires taking baby steps to begin a new routine and make it a habit. If you want to stand and make dinner while wearing your prosthesis then start by wearing it longer each day, or refusing to take it off. Then stand to wash a few dishes. Eventually you'll be able to maneuver around your kitchen and create a meal and feel proud of your accomplishment....which will inevitably lead to another goal to achieve. If you want to get or stay physically active and you are struggling to find time then carve out some smaller portions that you CAN commit to and do it. For example, take a short walk around the block after dinner every night, or do some sit ups, push ups and/or planks before bed. You don't have to have a gym membership and commit 2-3 hours 4-5 days a week to be active and stay fit, you just need a plan and stick to it (again, to build a positive habit that will carry on thru the holidays and all next year). Starting today and carrying you through the new year here's what you need to do to form good habits that will keep you moving forward. Write down your dreams and goals on paper, don't keep them secret up in your head. Decide the most important ons and which ones need to come before others. There probably is a progression of them for example, learning to wear your prosthesis comes before walking a mile in it. Set deadlines to help keep you on track. Make smaller steps that you will need to do to hit your goal by your deadline. Speak positively: I want to go to the gym. I want to go for a walk. Etc, etc. Find someone you can share your goals with who will push you and hold you accountable (when times get hard and they will, it's good to have an outside person keeping you on track), and maybe they can join you in setting goals and you can hold each other accountable. Have fun and know your 'Why". Why are you setting this goal? Who are you doing this for? Setting these things into place will give you a better chance of succeeding at what you want. As always, you don't need to go it alone. We all have weak moments and need some help. I hope you have a blessed holiday season and a happy healthy new year! This is my last episode of Season 4. I'll see you next year! Until then, And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,

    Tis the Season As we enter the holiday season: Special gatherings and parties, Gift giving and making, Cooking and baking, And traveling and to see friends and family create a very busy month or two. As amputees it can have a toll on our bodies as we try to do it all. If you are new to being an amputee, try to remember that it’s ok to ask and accept help, it’s ok to not have everything perfect and done like you’ve done every year before amputation, and above all else…. This too shall pass! Enjoy the moment. Use your slower pace this year to breathe in the moments. Watch your children be in awe of the magic of this season. Entertain yourself with special movies together and listen to Christmas carols. You’ll be back on your feet in now time and wishing you had sat back and enjoyed the down time. Don’t allow guilt to over take you. Allow people to step up and be helpful. Ask when you need assistance. Be careful not to overdue it and hurt yourself. You’ll be more disappointed with the set back than the rest in the moment. And most of all… Be present!! Hope you have a beautiful holiday season making memories and preparing your hearts for the blessings to come. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love, PS Pictures of my socket that I promised. My very 1st socket. I used a t-shirt to cover this one. The size difference from 1st socket to about the 11th one in just 2 1/2 years! Paint job up close. Stickers Made using my Cricut machine. One of my 1st skin fit sockets and the use of auto paints and vinyl stickers I made with my Cricut. Most recent leg All of my prosthesis since the beginning. Minus 4 (one I'm wearing and the three yet to come as of this picture-including the new one being made right now).

  • From Fear to “Thanks Giving”
    2024/11/27
    Moving Into the Right Mindset This Holiday As an amputee I have so much to be grateful for in my life. I am blessed to be alive. My horses make me be present I am thankful for my husband, two healthy sons, and a family who loves me. I am grateful to be able to walk again, just to name a few. Do I ever look back on the day that I injured myself, which led me to amputation, and wish it never happened? NO! Never, not even once! I am so fortunate to have been chosen for this journey. Looking back, wishing for something different sets me up to fall into the trap, and vicious cycle, of never being satisfied or happy of where I am now. I wouldn't have met the people I've met. I wouldn't have overcome fears that I have had to face. I wouldn't have learned to trust in myself, the process, and my support system. I wouldn't have experienced the life I'm leading now with such gratitude because of what I have had to overcome and endure. I am a stronger person, more passionate about my Faith, and better able to withstand immense pain and challenges than ever before. This holiday season I challenge you to look past your fears, your disappointments, your pain, your obstacles, your past, and your anger at your situation and see the small but relevant miracles happening in your life EVERY SINGLE DAY! CHANGE YOUR MINDSET! Live for your happiness and to a brighter future. When you change how you see your life and your circumstances you change the outcome. You see the good more easily in everyday encounters and silent moments. You will find yourself smiling more and grumbling less, and you will start to attract the type of people who want to be around you because you empower them with your outlook. It's contagious! What are you grateful for today? Today, choose to be grateful! Don't wait any longer to see the joy in your life. Start jotting down your blessings or what you are grateful for tonight. Keep a list where you write 1-5 things that you are grateful for each night before bed. Fall asleep to gratitude in your heart and watch how refreshed and joyful you will start to be in the morning, just looking for the next moment. I wish you and your families a very special, magical, and blessed Thanksgiving. Until next week, and as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,
