Hi all,
Admittedly, I’ve been MIA lately. The end of last year and beginning of this year have brought some interesting challenges, surprises, and even manifestations of dreams I’ve had for quite a while, so you could say that I have been busy!
Back in December, I was in a car accident for the second time that year, but unlike the first time, in the latest accident, I was not at fault. Oftentimes car crashes are wake up calls, or perhaps bring other lessons. This last time, I’m not sure what that lesson was…but sometimes we are put in a place to stop the damage from being worse. See, the guy who hit me had not taken his diabetes medication, and didn’t even remember driving down the street. He hit me at a major intersection, and if he had not hit me, he might have made it onto a big road, and possibly could have injured or killed people, himself included. If he hadn’t made it on the road, there was a nice big pole he might have hit as well. So sometimes we just don’t know. Fortunately I was not badly hurt, though my poor car had to get its whole driver’s side reconstructed.
Soon thereafter, in March, my husband and I learned that we were pregnant, and so now I’m just about 4 months pregnant. I actually got pregnant very quickly after we started trying, which I attribute to the cleanse and my healthy lifestyle. Being pregnant has been quite a shift, and it’s been a challenge going from someone who ate very well and was connected to my body, to being someone who is almost at the mercy of what this little being inside me wants. While I’m doing my best to cherish this short time that I have left with our baby inside me, I kind of also can’t wait to get back to feeling like myself and eating what *I* want!!
Being pregnant has also been an excuse for me to slow down and just take some time to myself…thus why I kind of went MIA especially the last 4 months. I have to relearn what my body can handle, what yoga poses I have to hold off on, and so much more. I don’t even want to start thinking about starting a registry! Whew!
Anyway, one manifestation of my dream that I wanted to share is that back at the beginning of May, I finally started working at my acupuncture school, Tai Sophia Institute, where I am surrounded with great coworkers and such a positive environment. I am going to start teaching next week, which I am super psyched about, because I’ve always wanted to teach. The best part is, it’s all part-time, which allows me to continue my acupuncture practice, to keep telling people about the cleanse, and all of my other endeavors!
So my big dreams for the rest of this year include: a beautiful healthy baby, more and more teaching so that I become more permanent faculty, spreading the cleanse to tons more people, and more acupuncture patients so I can help more people. Connect with me on Facebook through our webpage, The 21 Day Chinese Medicine Cleanse, and share what your dreams for the rest of this year are!
All the best,
Jen
