Not Really a Nice Person

The hardest thing about working on this goal is coming to the realization that I am not actually a kind or loving person. I am with a select few; my husband, my kids, my few close friends, some extended family members. Pretty much everyone else I view through the lens of suspicion and mistrust and disregard. Of course this affects how I interact and communicate with people. If I can keep kindness at the forefront of my heart this will help me communicate with anybody better…I don’t have to like you to be kind to you.

Hooping is Going Well

Still hooping, I now hoop on days I don’t go to the gym. So it ends up being 3-4 days a week. Still have my $3 hoop from Walmart…I suppose I should upgrade!
