MIA: from my heart to yours
Cricut Friends,
I just wanted to touch base with you all because I know it seems I have dropped off the face of the earth. So many of you I consider friends and I just wanted to let you know what has been going on.
First, the blog. Yes, it has been forever since I posted anything. The truth is that with taking care of my mother-in-law with her brain injury combined with the a million new Cricut things coming out nonstop, I just needed a break. I began to feel like I couldn’t keep up with the new “this” and then the new “that”, and was feeling pressure to always be creating something for my readers.
Second, Facebook and the Learning the Cricut page on FB. It’s a long story, but my FB account got messed up, and ultimately I had to start a new profile. In all of that mess, the Learning the Cricut page (with over 5,000 likes/followers!) was also lost. I was honestly heartbroken. I cried- a lot. It also discouraged me because I felt like I lost contact with so many friends that I only knew through the Cricut world. For those of you who even noticed I disappeared and would like to connect again, you can find me on FB HERE.
So, what have I been up to?
Many of you know I started using Heritage Makers (www.StorybookingToday.com) for my scrapbooking. I am doing yearly hardcover books and lots of other fun projects. If you have any interest at all in digital, you should check them out. It’s been a nice break for me not to have supplies covering every surface in my house:)
My main focus lately has been the health of my family. My husband and his mother are overweight (okay, okay, me too, lol). With my mother in law’s brain injury, she often doesn’t remember eating so she will eat again, sometimes several times. My husband has been miserable over his weight also.
Thank God I met a friend on FB who told me about a 90 day health challenge she was doing. After researching it I became super excited. My husband and I started first, then a month later his mom and sister started. My husband has lost 30 pounds, I have lost 10 and lots of inches, my MIL has lost over 10 and his sister had lost 14 pounds last I heard. It is pure nutrition, and has become the fastest growing health challenge in America. Hulk Hogan, Dennis Rodman, MMA fighters…all kinds of people are seeing how awesome the challenge is. It has really changed our lives and I know we will only keep moving forward from here.
If you would like to check it out also, you can watch some videos on it at www.GetTheChallenge.com.
I just want to end by saying how thankful I am for all of you, and how much I have missed connecting with you all.
