I would really appreciate you to go on Blog Talk Radio.com and do a search for 2HealthyLiving's show. My friend Coach Marla and I were interviewed yesterday about how as coaches we can help others through their own chronic pain journeys.  As a life coach, Fibro success coach, I measure success as 1)Fibro doesnt' control me. Yes, there are days it tries, and yes, there are still days I cry, and give up...We are human.

2) I am a personal growth coach. If I am growing relationally, financially, and spiritually plus environmentally, I am a success! And yes, I am doing all three on a daily basis. 

I got a real enlightening positive point of view today BECAUSE of my Fibromyalgia. Yes, BECAUSE of it. I decided to rise above my raising and go after my dreams full steam ahead. I have been applying for all kinds of work at home telecommute jobs. No luck there. I got hired with West, but they didn't have any projects for me there. Yuck!!!! I went to careerbuilder.com. I saw they were hiring. I filled out the application last week. I got an interview set up for today. I was there joking with everyone else while we waited. I had two rounds of interviews and got hired. I took my drug test today. I know I passed it. Walmart gets the results in five minutes. They'll call me tomorrow with the results. The only thing that the administrator was afraid of is my Robaxin. I told him it's not a narcotic, it shouldn't show. If it does, a medical examiner will call and call my doctor, no problem. I will be starting orientation either Saturday, Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll be working as a cashier at nights. I will be coaching during the day. It's a job that will allow me to live my dreams. WoOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, during my interview, they were checking challenge overcoming skills. I told them that if I could overcome my Fibro pain, I can overcome any kind of tense situation. The managers mouth dropped and said that it's really unusual to meet someone with Fibro who can say that. I got the job BECAUSE of that skill. It's all in perspective. My question to you, How do you see your Fibro? As a menace or maybe as a highly skilled friend who really does take care of you? I know whPich one it is for me now. I will be writing a book about my spiritual journey with Fibro. What the enemy meant for harm, God has used it to grow us closer together, and given me invaluable skills that NOONE can ever take away. I hope you are encouraged. Never give up. It took me years to get here. I am blessed of the most High God, Jesus Christ.

Passing his love on to you,
