Year of Change

Today, December 15, 2011, I am, to the day, the exact same age my Mother was when she was murdered.

As a tribute to my Mother and to myself, this year, I’ve focused on getting myself in better health. This includes a comprehensive overhaul of anything I want to physically, chemically and mentally change about my well-being, including:

Having nine metal fillings replaced with ceramic bond
Root canal
Canine vaneer installed
Canine vaneer replaced
Getting and healing a salivary stone
Starting allergy shots
Having deviated septum surgery
Six laser hair removal treatments
Having a big mole removed
Undergoing two comprehensive sleep apnea studies
Sleep apnea diagnosis
Started using CPAP
Lasik (both eyes)
Integration of better diet and exercise into routine (going on two months)

When I type it out like that, it doesn’t seem like that much…but it required me seriously focusing on driving the results throughout the entire year.

I’ve still got 16 days left in the year. I wonder what else I can do? I’m officially on “borrowed time,” so I want to make every day count – even more than I already did before.

That's a lot! You should brag. You deserve it.

I'm curious about the laser hair removal. Want to share more about that one? I would love to do something like that.

It's YOUR time, Bethany, and I think your mom would be very proud of you. I know I am.
