Changing Course, of course!

I am in the process of changing course, stepping in a new direction, aren't we all? We as a culture are always changing, so different than 10 years ago, even 2 years ago. Some changes can be simple and easy to accomplish, others take time, thought and planning. While some are easy to digest, others are hard to swallow or challenging. For example, changing my name when I got married seemed like a simple thing, but I did struggle with that. The last four months I've made huge changes; I closed my massage business to explore new adventures that are less taxing on my body. Giving up my space that I worked out of was harder than I thought it would be, but I survived that. Changes can be in our control or not. My office closing was my choice, things like illness of a loved one or a flood are out of our control. Knowing which changes we have some control over is key. There is no need to expend emotional energy over those things we can't control.

So, back to my pivot. When I closed my doors, I knew I wouldn't be doing massage any more, but what was/is next for me. I started being curious about what lights me up, with my focus on my health and having fun. I took some time relearning how to have fun again. I stayed connected to my women's groups and had lots of conversations about what's next too. After many jigsaw puzzles and murder mysteries, I know where and what I want to go and be! My passion is to help people, kids with breathing problems and save our planet. Moving forward you will see more posts about kids with asthma as well as environmental and social justice concerns.

Change happens all the time! Sometimes it can be easy and sometime we have to hang on tight and keep breathing. But know always, that change is neither good or bad, it just is. And we can always find our bearings wherever we land.

As seasons change so can our breathing needs. Changes in the air can impact asthma, allergies, lung disease, and lung flare up from allergies. By using water, masks while outside, nasal rinse, you can help your body's intake of oxygen by thinning mucus! If you are struggling with any of these feel free to ask questions in the comments or by messaging me directly!🍂

I'm an asthmatic with chronic bronchitis and allergies. I feared I would be short of breath with winds 80mph and 8,000 feet in the air, where the air is much colder, but the 30 second plummet 🪂to 3000 feet was easy, no time to get SOB. What took my breath away was when the parachute opened and the amazing view of earth🌎!

It was thrilling, it was peaceful, I was overjoyed! But I also prepared myself before I jumped. I took my inhaler, tried to stay calm, talked to my instructor and realized there was no way my lungs could react in 30 seconds. So, I jumped! and I landed softly on my t**h. 🫢

I was out walking yesterday and reminded of what dangers there are in Early Spring. My dog Oscar and I were jumping pools of water from melting snow and walking on soggy, water-laden grass. This time of year can trigger those with breathing problems. Things like mold under the snow, dust from the traffic can be irritants. Later in Spring the first shoots of flowers, shrubs and trees rise up through the soil and this the pollen season is what we know well. Just an awareness and reminder for those who struggle to breathe, maybe keep those masks around a little longer to protect our airways.

Apologies to all who were wanting to attend the COPD Q & A event. Facebook was not letting me go live tonight for some reason and I will fix it for next week!

I thought we might want to remember our childhood Christmas memories as we get ready for this Christmas!

Thinking about childhood memories and waxing nostalgic. I am grateful I can continue this memory every time I decorate my tree!
