Candy and Kindness

Yesterday I need a break and went to the BX just to walk around.  I didn't really need anything (I still bought stuff of course!)  I just wanted some peace and quiet away from DH and my new puppy who's a joy, but into everything.  

I wandered around for a while and found a few things to buy.  When I arrived at the cashier the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were calling my name.  I tried to turn around, and there was a bag of Reese's Mini's hanging from the other impulse purchase rack!  I was totally ready to cave!

Just then the cashier was ready to ring up my purchase.  I was so relieved to walk forward and not look directly at the candy.  I said to her "Thank you, I was just about to buy some Reese's"  Do you know her response?  She said "You can be strong and resist."

"You can be strong and resist."  I laughed and thanked her.  I was so grateful for this unexpected kindness from a total stranger.  She absolutely helped me to reaffirm my choices to eat healthy and put good things in my body.  She reminded me I am stronger than candy, and I can resist impulse purchases.

Be kind to each other today!

Be Nice!

I've always been an extrovert.  That is, I gain my energy from outside sources rather than an introvert who finds energy within.  As I have had the opportunity to be 'home' for a few days in Tucson AZ, I've been seeing those that mean the most to me.  I've been surrounded by thoughtful, compassionate, intelligent, people.  I've laughed, shed some tears, and received lots of hugs.

I like nice people who do nice things, and I want to make a commitment to be a nicer person... and do nicer things!  I want to actively create stronger relationships with my clients and friends back in Germany.  I've been very lucky that I get to follow my dreams and build a business that reflects my passions and beliefs.  I'm so grateful to everyone that supports me.

I'm thinking about how I can make not only myself but also Cherry Wellness and 360 Fit better.  I hope to express in this blog my personal as well as my professional journey to wellness.  Not every day is easy, but I'm going to try to reflect the best of me.
