I last recorded back in August of last year and was struggling with a lot of things. My life, family, kids, health, job - just about pretty much everything in my life I was having issues with and not happy.

Then I had a long talk with my man, Dave, who has been my savior and rock ever since I've had him in my life. He said, your not happy, I'm not happy, so let's fix it and get back to living the life WE want and to hell with everyone else.

So we have done just that! The first thing I did was get a new job. I was so unhappy at the old one, paid crappy and I was so unappreciated. Now, I have the job of my dreams, they appreciate what I've done and I'm so happy there. With the new job came a major move! I left Washington State and moved back to Alaska. I had forgotten how much I loved Alaska. With the move came family/kids changes! I no longer have my kids or their families living with me. With that came freedom to finally live the life I want!

I still have a long ways to go to work on my health and weight loss, but I felt it was important after my post last year to get happy first. Now that I've gotten that accomplished, I can finally move forward and have the time, motivation, and ability to work on myself.

It's great to be back and I'm looking forward to a new and improved ME!
