Welcome our New Team Member!

I'm SO happy to introduce our new member to the team! Melissa Goddard is so excited about joining our team. She is going to be an awesome asset. She's so personable, energetic, a hard worker & loves God. I'm so excited she's chosen to help us in this fight against breast cancer. I look forward to raising money with her & having fun doing so.

Thanks Melissa for joining our team!

Prayer Request

It's been quite a while since I've had such a heavy heart, but tonight it's definitely heavy. I've been talking about Beverly Easley who I'll be walking in honor of, as well as my aunt, Linda. She and her husband went down to M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX on Sunday to hopefully receive treatment via experimental drugs, etc.; however, they have concluded as of today that she is not a candidate for the procedure. It is completely in God's hands now. Please think of the Easleys while you say your prayers.

Thank you all & God bless!

Well..... been a while

since I've posted. I guess I can tell you that I've been on a "sugar free" diet for going on 3 weeks now. The first 3 days were challenging. I am proud to say that I was tempted TWICE yesterday & not one time did I feel the urge to even TASTE any of it! :) I'm trying to condition myself & detox my body of all the blah stuff in it; however, it has been a struggle. I'm told that once I have 3 weeks under my belt, my mind will see "sweets" in a completely different way & I shouldn't feel the need for sugar. We shall see.

I have my first big fundraiser coming up the 3rd weekend in June. We are doing a "Painting for the 'Girls'" fundraiser where we will be painting a beautiful summertime beachy picture on canvas in Wetumpka thanks to my friend Angie Drew! :) We will be asking for a $30 donation that will include your painting and some refreshments that will be served.

Soon after that, we will be having a Goddess Aerobics fundraiser where we will be doing a chair dance to "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Joe Crocker. I've learned that dance & must say it's quite HOT! So any girls out there reading this, be sure to check back in a couple of weeks for details!

I have also been talking to a friend of mine who is in a band about doing a benefit for us at an establishment in Montgomery. Hopefully, we will have more details regarding that as well. I'm thinking August, since that's when I'll be celebrating my 40th b'day, so I can ask friends & family to come & give to my fundraiser in lieu of birthday prizes. What an awesome 40th birthday would that be? Raising money for my favorite charity in the world? Who could ask for anything more?

I am still just as stoked about this walk as I was the day I knew my buddy Lisa was involved. God is good all the time AND all the time God is good!

Peace,

Another Wonderful Wednesday!

Whew!  Wednesdays must be our day.  Tracey and I walked 2.5 hours and 15,081 steps!  Average 2,000 steps a mile...That's about 7.54 miles!  WAHOO :) According to Nike, that is what it would take to burn through a hot dog, walk up  160 story building and burn through a frosted donut!  

Whew! What a Day!

My Lisa and I walked almost 7 1/2 miles today in 2 1/2 hours! Whew! I love spending time with her! Even though we were sweaty, stinky, yucky, irritable & our clothes were sticking to us, we still enjoyed a wonderful lunch & even did some shopping!

A wonderful blessing happened tonight that touched me like I cannot begin to explain. One of the lady's we are walking for and her husband, Bryan & Beverly Easley, gave me a nice donation tonight. Even though they are about to leave to go to MD Anderson in Houston, TX to continue her fight against this horrid disease, they wanted to donate to our walk.

Well, pray for Lisa & I as we plan to walk even farther this Friday! I know we can, I know we can, I know we can!

Our first milestone...

Tracy and I walked 7.3 miles this morning in 2.5 hours.  It was apparent after this walk that it was time to get new shoes!  I made it through the walk ok, but my 3.5 year old shoes really are due to be replaced!  I found some NewBalance 50% off at Sneakers!  We had so much fun talking and walking.  It seemed to just fly by.  Then, as we were getting closer our cars it seemed like we would never get there!  We ran out of water with still about an hour to go.  On our walk we walk by Ben and Kelli's house.  I was so happy to see their yellow hose in the front yard!  Thanks guys, you have some great hose water!  We are planning on trying to go again Friday if anyone wants to join us in our walk!

Training!

Tracy and I did our training walk together today.  We went about 2.5 miles, and it was a blast!  Let me know if you want a walking partner in Montgomery!
