"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
-William James
This hits home for me. My definition of difference is "a positive change/effect". As of lately, I have really embraced this quote in my life by taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. It has trickled down into all aspects of my life, family life, friends, the social aspect, my everyday routine, running the Spot, becoming a health coach, my marriage, and my faith. If I make a positive change (difference) in just one of these, it has a positive effect on multiple aspects.
Ask yourself, "do I make a difference?" Do you? Small things we do make a difference, and it is the enthusiasm we have during the approach that is the game changer. We all make a difference is some one's life everyday! If we take the time step back and make a positive change, it will funnel into other aspects of our life.
A "difference" can be expressing your appreciation to someone, giving back, pausing your routine for that extra hug with your little ones, turning the t.v off and having a real conversation, starting back up at the gym, giving yourself "me" time, etc. Just remember your approach is with enthusiasm, the outlook will be much better!
Ahhhh...that felt good to say! Now to just personalize that quote :)

Polar Plunge 2013
Whew hew! Today was my first time participating in the Polar Plunge! Some of you might ask 'what is that?' It is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Special Olympics. My dear friend Diane and I made a deal a while ago that we would do this together and that is just what we did! I set a goal to raise $50 (minimum to participate) and raised $195!!
Before the Plunge, I was really nervous and scared! It was 40 degrees outside, which meant the water was...lets say FREEZING! A dear friend of mine, Sara, volunteered to go with me and take pics/video of the action she did a fabuous job! My great friend Diane and I took the Plunge...whew it was cold but not bad at all! We ran in holding hands..popped a squat and ran out screaming! It was so awesome! The great cause is what this was really about not us being cold for a few minutes. There were so many people participating, very inspirational for sure! Next year, we are getting a team together to raise even more! my Saturday feels very full :)
