For those of you that are still checking in here, I am committing myself to writing again at least twice a week. I LOVED documenting what was happening in our lives and found it cathartic when things seemed overwhelming. While we are no longer full-time “off the beaten path”, our hearts are still there and we consider it our home. Living in town is temporary, even though it has already been a year.

It has now been three full weeks of being a full-time gym owner and wellness coach, specializing in transformations! It has been such a freeing experience, but I’ve been having a hard time adjusting back to not having structure in my work life. Prior to my taking the job with Cook County almost 9 years ago, I was a REALTOR and had a similar situation. I could work when I wanted to (and HAD to for closings, etc) and played when I wanted to also. In the beginning the playing part is minimal because you have a business to build. Being that we have the gym along with building a business of helping people, I tend to be scattered in my thoughts and have a hard time focusing on the task at hand. It’s getting a bit better each day and I know I will be back to getting a schedule down soon!

What I really love about this life is being able to work when it’s best for me. I’m really enjoying my early mornings. I take Takum for a walk to see the sunrise over Lake Superior, stop at the gym pick up and work out, head home have breakfast, do dishes, do food prep, take Hercules and Tucson for a walk all before showering and heading back to the gym to the office. I’m usually in the office no later than noon and stay there until somewhere around 10:00 at night or even later. I love doing my flyer designing and similar things late at night!

I hope there are still a few fans out there! I would love to hear from you if you are. Our kennel fan page is still up on Facebook so check out Black Magic Kennels!

I’ll be back soon!!!
