Be The One
I started, for the 4th or 5th time, reading/listening to (JP) Justin Prince's book, Be The One. I give it 10*! Best book I've ever read. And reading, in the past, was a struggle. Justin says, "If you're not learning, you're not growing!" So, reading has become a part of my journey. Some audible. Some reading. Some both. In this case, I recommend both. Justin't book has pages for you to write. And, that's another thing. I am writing. Without the use of AI, so, (BIG WIN) this post is raw, real, Christine - getting in touch with her NEW IDENTITY. I think you'll enjoy it. I know I am. _________________________________________ I wanted to share a bit about the book, and what I am learning. Justin says, don't just read a book, study it. I am finally committed to doing just that. I am studying "Be The One." Chapter 4 challenges the reader to "Clarify your 3D Vision". How many of you have actually sat down and done that? I can tell you, I have never done that. In the book, JP asks the question, "What is my vision?" "What do I really want to do with my life?" To "be the one" you must live and lead your life with vision. Mine, I am still working on it. 58 years young, and I have never defined my vision. Which, Justin emphasizes, most of us have not yet CLEARLY defined our vision. I mean, we know what we want, to be financially free, to make a difference in this world.. High performers can state what they want to achieve and why it matters to them, without delay. Can you do that? Me either.... A clearly defined vision sits on top of your tongue, not in the back of your mind. Until now, it's sat in the back of my mind. I finally understand the assignment ..... I am not who I was.. I am who I am meant to be...I am who God created me to be. I am resilient..an overcomer of challenges. I inspire others to live an intentional life. I am thoughtful of others and meet them where they are. Part of Justin's book, is to write 3 things you have already accomplished. Things like - receiving my Certified Medical Nail Technician License in 2020 - after CoV shut the world down. Receiving 2 promotions, in 16 months at my job. Started a Nail Business in 2018-2021.

Pickle Festival - Sold out 7,500 Tickets!
What a fun day today, at the Orlando Pickle Festival! I was there to volunteer for One Heard for Women and Children. Lots of crazy food choices, all of it under $10. Pickle pizza, pickle ice cream, pickle everything. Every food truck had a “pickle themed choice”! There were also craft vendors, t-shirts, popcorn, ice cream, lots of yummy choices. It was a hoot. I noticed all walks of life. People from every generation, it was so much fun. Just chatting with the attendees, while checking them in; Scanning tickets and placing bracelets on their wrists. Making idle chatter and small talk. Everyone was so nice. I would joke and say, she’ll scan ya and I’ll wrist band ya! (I was a poet and didn’t even know it)! People laughed.. no one seemed to have a "chip" on their shoulder. They were all kind. There were so many people that suffered heat stroke. One lady was sitting down, and she just all of the sudden tossed her lunch, covered it with dirt, and did it again! I asked her if she was OK, she said, yes, I am just overheated. I have water. I went and got the paramedics. She needed to get out of the sun and they needed to get her a barf bag and electrolytes. I am actually not sure what they did for her. Another girl, literally collapsed, while waiting in the pickled pretzel line. Which, BTW was the longest line out of all of the food trucks. Except maybe one of the ice cream trucks. I love being a part of something bigger than me. This event was raising money for One Heart for Women and Children. I love that. It allows me to love on people in our community. It fills my heart for sure. When I left, I couldn’t help but reflect of some of the children that were clearly obese. It’s just sad that we’re not teaching our children the importance of moving your body. Eating Whole Foods and not feeding them crap all of the time. As adults, we should do better. Our kids deserve better. It’s not about vanity, or being skinny. It’s about long term health and living a full life.

My Story Matters
My story matters because I have been a caregiver most of my life. First, to my husband. 3 years after we were married, he had open heart surgery. 7 years later, I took care of him after a cancer diagnosis and several surgeries, chemo that almost killed him.. until he passed away, 3 years later. I would do it all over again, 10X! I was the primary care giver for my momma, before she passed in 2021. She had dementia and was my everything. Covid took a full year with her away from me. I lost her in November of 2021. I lost my house 14 months after buying it, to Hurricane Milton. Relocated to Orlando. Then, a few months after I received my FEMA money, I was the victim of fraud. Lost $25K.. Who cares for me? I do. Caregivers rarely have people that care for them. It’s not a bad thing, it’s who we are. We must be in charge.. we are caregivers… So, unless a caregiver falls ill, they rarely ask for help or to be cared for. If you know a caregiver, love on them. It’s one of the most difficult jobs, for very little pay. What we get is a peaceful heart knowing we are taking care of our loved ones. Most caregivers are strong and refuse the help, but desperately want it. AND need it. I’ve been taking care of myself for 11 years now. I wonder sometimes if my heart is hardened from not having anyone in my life to lean on, or someone that will give care to me. It’s been so long, I just resolved it’s not going to happen. So, I take care of me, just like I take care of everyone around me. I have learned to love myself better than anyone else can. But I still long to be loved, held, seen, cared for…
