12 in 12


If you fail to plan, you plan to fail…

As 2011 cam to an end, I found myself writing my resolutions, this time for 2012. Last year was “11 in 11;” this year will be “12 in 12.” I am doing things a little different this year. For example, I’m starting earlier. I started developing my goals before Christmas. Again, this year they’re not going to be resolutions, but goals!

So what are my goals? How safe am I going to play this? How honest am I willing to be?

Integrity First. Integrity remains a quality instilled in my upbringing and was further ingrained at the Academy and while in the Air Force. It’s who I am to the core, it’s how I live my life. As I write my goals, I’m going to be brutally honest—not only with myself but also with every one of you!

1.  Honor my creativity by utilizing my creativity at least once per month.
2.  Finish Painting the office by the end of 2012.
3.  Read a minimum of 1 book per month.
4.  Help more people reach their Health Potential by teaching at least 1 class outside of Care More per month. You can help me realize this! I’m available to speak at lunch & learn’s, community events, team meetings, senior centers, award banquets…
5.  Blog a minimum of 12 times in 2012.
6.  Grow the community action group to 20 members accomplishing 4 community service projects in 2012. 7.  Coupon regularly, and donate food monthly to charity.
8.  Train for and run a half marathon in 2012. a. Pick a race b. Train and remain injury free
9.  Loose xx pounds, and keep the weight off!
10. Organize the garage and basement by the end of the 2012.
11. Express Gratitude by write a minimum of 1 Thank You note per week (52 for the year!)
12. Say my positive affirmations on a daily basis!

Is this all I plan to do? No way! Look for an assessment in July! Halfway through the year I am going to take inventory and see how I’m doing! Assess, evaluate and regroup. My plan is that I’ll be on track, with the majority of these items checked off!

What are your goals for 2012? Please feel free to share them here!

Soup’s On: The Bone Broth Edition

Image
Bone broth is a food that I love to recommend and its a topic that has become more mainstream in recent years.   Today I’m going to share with you why I love making, eating, and recommending bone broth.   My name is Dr Kristen Welsh.   I am a Chiropractor, I am a mom to 2 young children, and I've spent a considerable amount of time healing my gut.   About a decade ago, while I was struggling with gut issues, I discovered (thanks too many great resources, blogs, and colleagues) Bone Broth.   So what exactly is Bone Broth?   It is simply the liquid produced by boiling bones in water.   Virtually any type of bones can be used—I’ve used everything from left over bones from a whole chicken or turkey to beef bones purchased expressly for making broth.   Personally—if we eat food with bones (whole chickens, turkey, bone in steaks & roasts) I will freeze the bones until I’m ready to use them.   Bone broth is different from stock or broth in that bone broth is cooked for longer periods

A New Season...

 Are you familiar with Hygee?  Am I the only one who has been living under a rock and totally missed this concept?  Recently DoTerra introduced their new products for 2021.  I was lucky enough to be able to purchase one of the kits containing all of the new products...  One of the items in there was an oil blend called Hygee—one that my entire family loves!  This word was completely new to me, so I did what most people do these days and searched Google.  And I was amazed.  Hygee is a Danish term or concept that cannot be translated into a single English word.  Instead it’s a word that encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and wellbeing through enjoying the simple things in love.   As we enter into a new season, this word resonated with me.  It sparked some joy and curiosity.  This weekend saw the first cool crisp nights, the first chili of the season, and my youngest went pull-up free, and my oldest spent the weekend cooking.  It’s also my Birthday week, celebrating as I ente

The Comeback...

Image
 The Atlanta Braves just won the World Series!   The Braves, a team who won fewer regular season games than any other team in the 2021 playoffs.   A team plagued with injuries to many of their best players.   A team that had more losses than wins at the end of July, finished the regular season with an 88-73 record.  In fact at the end of July the Braves had a 10% chance of making the playoffs and less than a 1% chance of winning the World Series.   The Atlanta Braves were not the best team in MLB from April to September, but they didn't let that stop them.  They showed up every day and gave 100%.  They made corrections, and trades, and kept their eye on the prize.   On November 2, 2021 they did it!  They won the World Series for the first time since 1995!     What a great lesson in life.  In the face of  seemingly unsurmountable odds:  Always Try!  Play to Win!  Never, Ever Give Up! Thank you Atlanta Braves for the reminder and the life lesson.
