…damn it, where has the time gone?

So, here we are; changing gears, going in a different direction, there are a lot of phrases for making changes in our lives. Alas, for this OCD girl, the past year has been one of discovering what the hell I’m good at, what I suck at, where my passions lay and what I want to be when I grow up. It’s been really challenging to say the least. It’s probably the hardest thing I’ve had to do since college. Nevertheless, it’s something new, a new plan- a new life…..

I’ve had a great career as a supplement manufacturer and distributor over the last 9 years. I ran/run an awesome company, Extreme Labs and Dedicated Woman for 8 years, and I’ve worked with the best athletes, clients and vendors. Although it’s still a multi-billion industry,- and most likely where my main salary will still come from, I have a deep nagging at my soul to find something else, something that takes me into the second half of my life, and something I can be proud of.

I’m still on a journey of sorts to figure it all out, slowly but surely, I’m finding my way. These changes along with a pending divorce really throws things into overdrive and propels you forward into making quick decision and sometimes a decision you’re really not sure of. But either way, I look at it like this: it’s a step toward something and something to look forward to.

Its bath time for the puppies!
