Happy Friday! I can NOT believe Christmas is next week! Eeeek! Have you finished all of your holiday shopping? I have one present left to get, then it is wrapping time! I am definitely in the holiday mood– Wednesday night I had a mini get together with  a few members of my committee from the Athletic Club. We sipped wine, told stories, and ate a lot of cheese! Last night I attended the Athletic Club’s holiday party with my sister and brother-in-law. We put on our best cocktail attire and had a ball!

I have some good news to share– this past week I graduated from Institute of Integrative Nutrition!!! I am now a certified holistic health coach! I started taking the course the beginning of the year and have worked each week taking tests, learning about food, wellness, life, and health. I am not totally sure exactly what I am going to do with this certification, I am thinking of taking on a few clients as more of a life/wellness coach. We will see! I am just excited to be done and proud of myself for graduating! I started IIN because of my own health issues and wanted to figure out why I was so sick. It is crazy that some of my issues I have been dealing with for over a decade that has caused a lot of problems, but by going through IIN I was able to figure some of it out, and learned how to deal with some issues.  I am grateful I went through the course!
