Be Your OWN Action Figure

I am living a double life! Yes, that's right.....I have a full time job in Customer Service and I'm really good at it but in the before and after of my work day, I'm secretly Christi_in_action! I get my workout on and further myself by keeping up with nutrition and wellness..... Today I spent all day sitting in a betterment seminar - I am fortunate to work for a company that invests in it's employees and offers us growth and potential through innovation and presentations. I have another day full of the same tomorrow and am thankful for the opportunity. The best companies in the world know that their people are their most important resource.

For me, it begins an official countdown to the end of a 26 year career and all of the highs an lows I am due to experience in saying goodbye to a job I have an enormous emotional investment in and still seek what new challenges may lay ahead. Today begins my self awareness lessons-I-have-learned each day revelations and you are invited to ride along on my journey. I'm the one in charge of my life, so take charge of it, already, says I! Self revelation #1 Be clear about who you are and who you aren’t. First with yourself, then with others. Honesty is a lot easier than playing a role because you think it’s a role you need to play.  I choose to be adventurous and dynamic and nurturing and inspirational. That's who I am. I am passionate about living and movement and one of my favorite words it "potential" because it sounds ho...
