New Beginnings are Never Easy….

New Beginnings are Never Easy especially when you face the unknown.  This has been my life this summer.  As I looked over my life during the summer months, I knew there were changes that needed to be made but coming to terms with that was not easy because I knew there were things I would have to give up. Then, one day while talking to my coach on the phone I realized that in order to move forward I had to let go of certain things and that it would be ok.  

NEW BEGINNINGMy Life

Many of you of have followed Add a Little Dazzle from its humble beginnings and have gotten to know my family and have seen my kids grow up.  Today, my oldest son Kevin turned 21 and on Saturday, Matthew will be 11. My daughter Isabella is now 8 and Rebecca is 4 (almost 5). Where did the time go?  It went by too fast and my babies are growing up. 

For the past couple of years, I have dealt with many health issues and had 3 surgeries between the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. It was really an eye opening moment and made me realize how short life can be.  We are here today and gone tomorrow. 

Thankfully, after my last surgery in March 2015 I have done well and have not had any more hospital related health issues. After my last scare in October 2014, I had to take my recovery slowly to avoid anything from going wrong.  I had to listen to my body and allow myself to heal.  

SKINNY DOESN'T MEAN SKINNYBig Reality Check

In America, many of us equate being skinny with being “healthy”.  I am living proof that this isn’t true. Although I have lost a total of 136 lbs. to date, I am still healing on the inside from the lifetime of damage I did to my body. The sad thing is I didn’t even know I was hurting my body.  

I can’t change my beginning BUT I can change my ending.  I want the rest of my life to be different.  Getting older doesn’t mean having to be in pain with aching muscles, bones, joints, migraine headaches, and unable to enjoy being active with my children.

It means changing my life and creating it to be the one I always dreamed of having.  I want to create a new ending free of pain and full of wellness enjoying my life to the fullest with my family and loved ones. 

OLD LIFE NEW LIFEMy New Love 

The changes we have made in what we eat, drink, and how we care for our bodies has been a game changer for our family.  We have come to realize that we need to balance all areas of our lives so we can live the lives God created us to live. 

Our desire is to share with you our journey and empower you to reclaim your life.  We are seeking God as he helps us balance all areas of our lives including faith, fitness, finances, family, food, and fun through our new blog we are launching soon called Revived Wellness.  

This blog will cover all these areas listed above and we will even have CRAFTING FUN. Yes, I love crafting and so that will be brought into the mix.  Sign up for our Revived Wellness Mailing List!

Sometimes in order to move forward, we have to let go of things we hold dear to our hearts.  After much prayer and consideration, it is time to close the doors of Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets.
