I truly love to box. I have never found someone to train me since I fell in love with it 20 years ago since my good friend Ben Groom did it for me and many of our clients. Most women who get to train boxing 1 on 1 are hooked for life. Now that I am a little tired of lifting and traditional cardio - when my favorite person Rosalyn Powell said she was interested in this new small joint called 9Round was opening, we went for it. Its inexpensive and you get free pink gloves when you sign up and there are hanging bags everywhere. Im in!
So 44 days away from the West Caribbean and I am more excited about BOXING again than anything. Excited to be so out of shape that I get to SUCK at it so bad...that I will be obsessed with going back. I love to work, to fight (pun intended). And its not always in me to go hard in the paint anymore like it used to be, that is for sure, but add great music and boxing gloves and Im all about it.
Also had a great lesson with Ellen today about money. About the decisions you make with it and had a great time helping her think about how to spend some of her own as I had to drag her with me to grab something and it presented the opportunity to help her think through something she wanted. Got me thinking about homeschooling again. Being able to teach her and pour into her about LIFE while we do the reading writing and arithmetic... She said she would rather go to school but when seeds are planted that I personally are appalled at, I know where its coming from. So, I honor them by not burying them deeper. Not in a hurry to homeschool, but its the very LAST thing I ever wanted to do and its coming up. And my words for the year are (in order) OBEDIENCE, HUMILITY, and SERVICE. Therefore, I have to listen so I can.....obey.
Now, outside of that, work is phenomenal. Im so excited about what is on the horizon for our teammates and for life this year. I had an awesome call with a friend I think will be blessed beyond his wildest dreams. I then spent a lovely afternoon in the house helping Ellen with homework and taking care of her and out of the house running some fun errands in this gorgeous weather. Stocked up on all sorts of fun add-ons for samples I am mailing out to build my business and reach even more people and even picked up a new thing or 2 for the office, which is coming along so nicely.
I could have spent $2000 in TJ Maxx HomeGooks, but escaped for a few bucks less given I have investment goals and plenty of time to buy 7 new totes adorbs accent tables. ha!
And now cooking (for the very first time) Fettuccine Carbonara from scratch. I will add last night's leftover shredded crockpot chicken and reduce my serving to hit those goals but a little pasta won't kill me since I've had no carbs to speak of today. Balance. Should be my 4th word! LOL
In obedience, humility and service,
Anna
PS- I think there is a problem with my counter. I don't think I even have that many friends must less readers for these last few posts. But if that many people are reading... please forgive my lack of interesting content, perfect grammar, etc. I am doing this because of that word of the year thing! OBEDIENCE :)
