Hey Readers!

We are working on our launch of SHOW UP FOR YOUR LIFE - AT www.showupforyourlife.net - and hear what we are doing to promote healthy families, healthy bodies and healthy minds! I applaud you for your vision, which you do have if you have come to this site. Today, May 1 we celebrate the idea of truly SHOWING UP for your committment, which I am sure include your children. Ask yourself - what would it look like to show up100% for myself, my kids, my work, my finances, my business -  MY LIFE!!

We here at New Generations International are always and foremost our own first clients. I am always keen to look at my coaching clients and my relationships as a mirror to my own learning and awareness of what I could change for the better. We are in pre-production for launching a seminar series called SHOW UP FOR YOUR LIFE!…no matter what. We are launching here in Albuquerque on May 4th - just one month away! And we get to look the mirror and ask - how do I show up for my life - my friends, my staff, my team, my kids, etc? Ask yourself - how do you SHOW UP FOR YOUR KIDS - tell us and we will share and motivate others!

Well Fitness Month and I have had a few struggles with the whole thing and I bet I am not alone. I am still working out my groove and routine and food plan.  I hear so much conversation about the economy - and all of the woes of businesses and families around the world. I find that this topic is deafeningly loud right now - both my my desire to overcome any fear and stay positive as well as in the news. Stay tuned.

MOMS  - FITNESS CHALLENGES - So - what have I and you accomplished so far in 20 days? My AHA is that I have uncovered some road blocks to my progress and it has to do with time allotment and scheduling - busy moms can you relate? The question for me is not how or what - but WHEN? When do I workout and still connect with my responsibilities as a business owner and coach as well as wife and mother? For me the answer lies in - EARLY EVENING. As I work in all 24 time zones with our international business, I will begin to not schedule things from 6 - 8 PM. this is the best time for me to work out, both mentally and physically. This starts immediately! What time do you work out and find time for yourself?

Dear Readers,

I have not lost pounds, and I am finding that this entire month is devoted to creating a lifetime winning strategy for success as a parent, wife, business woman and health conscious person. I am re-adding Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to my morning routine before I have any food. I started this when I was 20 and this is the reason (I think) that at 51 I have very few wrinkes- along with good living. Try it - again - our month long conversation is not about agony, pain, misery and suffering - enough of that in the world. It is about finding the routine or the plan or the non-plan that works for you so you can be your best YOU!!! For me, I know that part of my success formula is to have 8 -10 (YES THAT IS RIGHT!) hours of sleep per night. What are you doing TODAY for that one small step towards your health?

Here in the USA and Ireland and many parts of Europe and Australia we celebrate St. Patricks Day - patron saint of Ireland. So today - send a blessing to the country of Ireland and Northern Ireland for prosperity and peace - so urgently needed. And because it is Fitness Month, here in the Parent as Coach world, watch the beer consumption. My husband and do not drink alcohol, so we are arlready watching our calories already. Do one thing for your self care today and enjoy being ALIVE!

Day 16 - March 16, Monday. WOW - 1/2 a month has gone by. I find that I require time to think and plan, way beyond what I had imagined. I have made several conclusions about health and fitness - it takes time to plan and also that I have to create the right time of day to work out. After years of working out in the early AM before work, it seems clear that my body does not really like this at all!!! So early evening is when I find my workout groove. How about you - have you found your routine, groove or plan that suits YOU? Plan to make a plan. Get going.

Today I was on The Parent Clubhouse Monthly Tele-seminar, leading a discussion about why and how to be fit and healthy as a parent. Have you scouted out The Parent Clubhouse yet? It has proven to be a fantastic place to build community, discuss some courageous topics, get support, learn from others and have access to current articles on parenting teens and children. We all set the intention for one new action step and agreed to use the very supportive FORUM that we created for the topic of fitness and health. My goal is to re-instate my Body for Life program by the end of the month. See the resource page in this blog for the book, featuring ME! Please join us the the membership-only Parent Clubhouse and get going with our growing community! Onward!
