Well as of right now my fundraising is going really well. I had decided to sell Superbowl squares thinking it would be SO easy. I mean I live in New England!!! However, it was not so easy. I needed to sell 100 squares at $10 each. So, I'd make $1000 and $500 would go to prizes and the other half would go straight to my 3 day page. Well I was sitting at 37 squares sold for what seemed like a long time. Then my bother in law Greg would keep posting it on his facebook page. Then, his friend Dave sent me a message and bought 10 squares!!! I could hardly believe it. Then he took it and ran with it selling all of my remaining squares. THANK GOD!!!!!!!! So, now I have $500 to add to my page towards my goal of $3,000. I only need to raise $2,300 in order to walk, but I like to aim high!!
So now that I have accomplished the selling of my squares I am now trying to help my BFFL and team mate sell hers!!
My training has been put on hold, due to my hurting my back. I really need to get out there and started training. By out there I by no means in anyway am talking about walking outside!!! Unless, maybe I had a pair of snowshoes and a babysitter. Well with ALL of this snow, I am really looking forward to walking 60 miles in 3 days of heat and have fun doing it!!I'm a Hawaii girl, I thrive in the heat!!!That must explain why I'm usually in a depression during the winter, lack of vitamin D!!! Gimme my sunshine!!
Just a rant coming up!!!!
My sister and niece have safely made it to San Diego and have been trying to adjust over this past week. She has been having a hard time as I expected. So when she calls me in a panic thinking she's not sure if she can do it, I tell her she's strong and made the right move. A lot of people who know my sister and I say were not very much alike. I agree we really are different, esp. on the outside. She is everything I would love to be, but obviously not possible. While people see me as being this strong woman, who knows just what she wants and fights to get it. For the most part it's true. However, if you've know me for a while you know I wasn't always this way. It was a long hard road to get to where I am, Strength wise. I was always putting on a tough persona, being so invincible!!
Inside, I was afraid if someone every really pushed me would I be able to push back?? Or would I finally be seen for my "tough girl" facade???
After, many trying times in my life. I decided no more pretending I would be a strong woman and that I did.
So for my sister who may now doubt her strength will soon realize it is in there, She just has to trust in herself. My sister is quite a bit smaller than me in size, which is why the envy. But she is an amazing woman, who has great strength for which I have seen. Netty, your are strong and amazing.
Sometimes the strength in ourselves is determined by the things we do, not just say. I am making a statement by walking 60 miles in 3 days and raising $2,300. So please never think your weak because you never finished something, your strong because you tried!!
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!!
