The Daughter's Intro

Hello readers!

2013 is upon us. Crazy to think about, really. It seems with each year that I age the passing of time does indeed go faster. I had heard all about it when I was a teenager, but of course, I was determined it wouldn't. Now as a young adult, I realize how much truth was in the apparent 'myth'. Over the past year, I've felt my health fluctuate. With that, it really made me reflect on my family's health history. Both diabetes and celiac sprue run in my family. In the past two years, I've seen family members die from diabetes and it really startled me into waking up about personal health.

We never know what we can loose until we nearly loose it.

Seeing family members die and my own mother have her struggles with the disease awakened a passion in me to not only see myself better my physical health, but my mother's as well. This year I am embarking on a journey with my awesome mother for physical health. I don't expect it to be easy or always "fun" but man, will it be a ride!

Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.

With love,
