So, let's be honest. I have more than just 3 "passions" in life. I have sooo many things that I love and feel passionate about. Among those, of course, are my FAMILY and my religious beliefs. Those are a given and won't necessarily be the subject of this blog.
Right now 3 things are really driving me: Storybooking, Exercise and Nutrition, and Education
Storybooking: What is it? It is the coolest way to "scrapbook." I have been able to catch up and keep caught up with the pictures and important memories of my family by using Heritage Makers online publishing system to create hardbound books, posters, calendars, etc... I am so passionate, in fact, that I have made a business out of it. I have been a Heritage Makers Independent Consultant for almost 6 years! It has become an integral part of my life. Aside from what I have been able to do for my own family, my favorite part is meeting lots of incredible people with inspiring stories. I am able to know people on a much deeper level than if I were to just pass by them at Walmart. I make great part-time money, and I get "paychecks of the heart" on a regular basis.
My website is www.LetsWriteYourStory.com, if you would like to see what Heritage Makers is all about.
In this blog, I will be sharing projects and stories of people I meet, and any other happy thing that happens in the Heritage Making realm of my life.
Exercise and Nutrition: I must first begin this "passion" by stating that I used to HATE anything that had to do with exercise. I learned to enjoy walking as a teenager, and that was about the extent of it. My almost 40 year old body stopped responding, however, to pleasant strolling. I knew I needed to do SOMETHING!
**Fast Forward about 5 years**I had a gym membership and I was going but I was clueless as to what I was doing and needed to do to get in shape. I decided I needed to hire a personal trainer--against everything I ever stood for. It took me a week or two to find the nerve to talk to someone, but when I did I think it was divine intervention. I was very impressed with Wendy Hansen and decided to trust her to help me. The type of work out we do is called CROSSFIT and I love it! I can't believe I do but I do! I have gotten stronger and I have learned to like to sweat. :)
You can see a little of what we do at www.ComprehensiveCrossFit.com.
The nutrition side of my passion is called Isagenix. I can honestly say that my life would not be what it is today without this product and this company. My husband had the most amazing health transformation ever! Because of his results, he couldn't shut up about the product --and it became his business. We moved from a 1400 square foot home to a 4500 square foot home in the first year. Our family health and wealth have both changed for the better, and we are on a mission to help others reach the same transformation we have. I can seriously say the recession has not affected the Mac Fam.
So, I keep feeling a stirring from deep within to join forces with my husband in working the Isa-business. I have fought it for long enough...
You can learn more at www.IsaProduct.com and at www.CaryMac.Isagenix.com. And as I continue on with this blog, I will share stories of those whose lives also change for the better.
And finally, Education: I love going to school! I love learning! And I finally get to go again! I enrolled in my first class since I became a wife 20 years ago...so far so good!
Being a non-traditional college student just adds to the internal battle I fight everyday--can I really do all of these things AND be a wife and mother? Reason might say "not very well," but my heart screams otherwise. HENCE, the purpose of this blog...
I hope you'll follow my journey...
