Thank You

Thank You

When I actually stop and think about it, I am beyond overwhelmed. My breath hitches, a lump forms in my throat, and my eyes start to do that watering thing (I’m not crying, you’re crying).

Thank you. Thank you, thank you for being so amazing and patient as The FRICKin Good Life transitions, changes, and grows. It is always my goal to be as transparent and honest with you through the process, which is why I’ve shared my struggles as well as my excitement about all the changes that are taking place.

I am so glad that you have decided to come along on the journey. I’m humbled at the same time that you are willing to go through the rocky parts with me. Your support and encouragement has given me the reassurance that these changes are good and healthy and I’m reenergized and inspired all over again to continue the work I’ve been doing. I know that as we change our lives to become better, healthier, and happier, it can’t help but rub off on people we interact with.
