I understand what it’s like to struggle just to get through the day. I know what that feels like on both the emotional and physical fronts because I’ve been there. Growing up in a poor neighborhood, the unexpected only child of a single mom, all I ever wanted was to have a normal family and a house that was happy. Maybe that’s why I like working with troubled teen girls and young women. I was that person.
As an adult, I worked hard to create the kind of life I had envisioned as a kid, and it worked. After years of struggling to reinvent myself, I became someone I was proud to be. I had a cute little house, a great career in real estate, fun and interesting friends and a furry dog. I was even a member of a competitive tennis team. Then the perfect man came along—tall, dark, handsome and a minister. Right before we got married everything began to fall apart.
Down, Down, Down
Don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t his fault. He’s wonderful. But during our engagement, I moved into a house close to his that turned out to be full of mold.
At the time I didn’t realize how toxic mold is. Within two weeks I was bedridden and in pain. I couldn’t hold my arms up on the steering wheel for more than a few minutes; it hurt too much. Even my eyelashes seemed to ache. I was so doped up on pain meds and anti-depressants that I barely remember my wedding day. I struggled to work despite bone-heavy fatigue, but I couldn’t seem to think straight. Soon my emotional state of mind took a nose dive as well.
Life-Enhancing Solutions
When you’re suffering from chronic pain and a foggy brain it’s hard to dream up the best life for yourself. Just getting through the next hour, the next day, putting one foot in front of the other is all your poor beaten, exhausted body can do. I’ve since discovered these things that turned my life around:
• High Quality Magnetic & Wellness Products—reduce discomfort and promote health using various forms of natural energy such as magnets.
• Nutrient Dense Seed Packets—provide energy to the body and protect cells
• Hemp Oil— helping everything from sleep to mood without getting you high. (P.S. It’s legal in all 50 states.)
• NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming)—so changed my perspective and my life that I became an NLP life coach myself.
That seems like a long time ago. It is a different world for me now. I’m not completely where I want to be, but I’m better than I was and I’m getting better all the time. That’s because I’ve found solutions that work.
