So – yes – I’ve been a little quiet lately….for a couple of reasons…I’ve have been busy landscaping, designing and personal training and taking naps!!
I’m like so many in that I “intend” to exercise but put it off! I mean seriously who wants to exercise when you can spend time creating right? Yeah my thought exactly! But…pain…pain in the leg…got me to thinking otherwise. I’ve got a pretty bad case of scaitica. And if you experience any kind of burning pain in your sciatic nerve you know just what I mean..it’s like someone stuck a knife in my leg and then lit it on fire with a match. It began to effect my life…and it was hard to sit and create without paying the price at night with pain….I went to the chiropractor and yes, that helped..but it didnt take away the pain….
Well…I dont want to give up creating…so …I thought…better head my batookie to the gym. So many of my friends go to Ernies Gym in Springfield MO and seeing the amazing results they were getting…I made the phone call!! What I LOVE LOVE LOVE about this gym is that its not allota hype…there’s no treadmill..no fancy equipment…just good ole fashioned hard work and in 12 sessions I have lost 6 1/2 inches and after the first workout, though it was painful..let me tell you…the first week I came home and slept for an entire week!!….but I lived thru it and after the first session…I had no more siatic pain…NONE…NADDA…ZIP…ZERO….ZILCH… I am so impressed with the results!!
So aside from that keeping me busy 4 mornings a week…I’ve also been landscaping the yard in preparation for a huge family reunion, anniversary party and graduation party in May. The whole family is coming and this will be the first time in who knows how long…20 years maybe that we’ve all been together…
On the creative side….I’ve just finished all the projects for my next show and I’m excited about sharing all the vintage garden inspired projects with all of you on May 16th. So be sure to check back – or subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with the previews of the show….I’ll be back soon!!
