Today I had a chance to catch up with one of my best friends. I don’t get to see her all that often (it’s been over a year.)

This woman has been my rock. When I needed a hug she was there to hold me, when I needed a kick in the butt she put on her boots. Today, she told me how proud she was of me for maintaining for over a year. First question out of her mouth was “are you still rockin healthy.” After I stopped laughing, and once I hung up the phone I thought back.

I am so fortunate to have an amazing set of friends. They want what is best for you and are truly happy when you are happy.

I used to think I was selfish for putting myself first in my journey. Now when I talk to my friends I don’t feel selfish. You know what my friend said? She said I am inspiring her to find health and happiness. By living and being true to myself, I am giving my loved ones the possibility that life can be really good… And it’s not selfish…

With all the negative crap in the news, go be an example. Get healthy and happy… Let’s show the world what a little love can do, and start with you!!!!
