I have a huge, still fresh scar from something that happened to me last year. I can already see that I will be able to grow from it and incorporate it into my life, but right now it is still dominating me somewhat. I look forward to that subsiding and am confident that it will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956766228449089546.post-17386427667680655972011-04-07T10:23:19.168-04:002011-04-07T10:23:19.168-04:00What an interesting perspective to share.

Now I'm happy to share my success with others in similar situations to hopefully give them some pride in their scars.

I think my scars have enabled me to have a unique approach to wellness and helping others. Being an overweight child myself, I have always had a special place in my heart for other children growing up like I did. The happiest times of my career was working with Fit Kids and TIPPS for Kids. Although it was sometimes disheartening to see children in that condition, to know that I helped them take small steps to a healthier life brought me joy beyond words. I know having to relive those memories had to be tough, but the difference you made in those families lives will be greater than the pain from that time in your life. What a blessing for them to have you!LTnoreply@blogger.com
