Let’s make it a transformational 2012.

A Firefighter's Wife

Since the holidays are fast approaching, I thought one of the best gifts that I could give my husband is to honor him in a post.  Last week at his annual holiday party, he was awarded the honor of being named “North Charleston Fire Department Firefighter of the Year 2011”.  I’m so proud of you babe and all the hard work and dedication you have put into your job and helping others when they were in need.  While I love my husband’s courage for what he does, it is still hard for me to not worry when he is on duty.  One day I stumbled on this poem and I find that it helps to reassure me of what he does and why he needs my support.  While this post is dedicated to my husband, I would also like to dedicate to all of my fellow firefighter wives out there.  

 

Firefighter’s Wife Prayer

Lord I thank you for my husband,
This fireman that I love.
Give me strength
To give support
With your guidance from above.
Make me a good partner, attentive listener,
My husbands best friend.
When I chose him
I chose a firefighter,
And the job on which we depend.
Lord, keep my firefighter safe.
When our plans have gone awry,
Answering an emergency call
With a life or death cry.
Keep the gusting winds
And raging flames
From being his final fate.
Help me cope with the trauma
Of being a firefighters mate.

Amen

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas...

The Holiday Scuffle

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, the holiday season is fast approaching.  I’m not sure if it was just me but it seems like retailers were rushing the Christmas season into the stores earlier than I remember in years past.  I have a vivid memory of shopping for Halloween and to the left were Halloween decorations and to the right were the beginnings of the Christmas season decorations.  I had to second guess which month I was in.  I find myself wondering…why are we in such a rush?  Can’t we wait for Halloween to be over before we start putting Christmas decorations in the store?  And does anyone really start decorating that early?  I put my tree up Thanksgiving weekend, which is early for some people but it is a tradition for me and it won’t come down until after New Year’s.

Don’t get me wrong besides my birthday, Christmas is my favorite holiday to celebrate.  Who doesn’t like getting presents and giving them?  It’s the shopping that I hate.  I can buy the crap out of stuff for myself but I struggle with other people.  And like usual, rather than starting my shopping back in October or November, I wait until it’s closer the Christmas.  Regardless of when I start, it all gets done.

Minus a few odds and ends my husband is done...yay!  My daughter is pretty easy.  Thankfully, she’s grateful for what she gets and doesn’t throw a fit when she doesn’t get something (like I used to do).  Either way it will be a good day because I will be able to spend it with my family and that is the perfect gift.  Oh and not having to cook!  (Fingers crossed)

It seems as if time flew by this year.  It’s almost 2012 and there are some things that I would still like to accomplish or do but they will have to be added to my To Do list for 2012.  But until that ball (or apple) drops on December 31^st, I’m going to try to savior what’s left of this year and focus on the important things.  Life is too short to hurry through the motions all of the time.

I have some big goals in mind for 2012, but I’ll fill you in on them next time.

Happy Holidays! 

Thankful!

It’s all about Perspective

As we get ready to celebrate the upcoming holiday and prepare to eat until we can’t eat anymore, I wonder has the holiday season lost its true meaning.  Sure, I like all the decorations, gift giving, and presents but is that what the holiday season is truly about.  Like most people, I have a Facebook account (shocking, I know) and I’ve noticed some people making daily posts regarding what they are thankful for each day.  I also know someone that is creating a paper turkey using feathers that the kids or other members of the family write something that they are thankful for on prior to attaching it to the turkey.  What a great idea.  Knowing myself, publicly stating reasons daily for an entire month is not my style and there is no way that I would do so either.  I thought this would be a better approach.  So here it is things that I’m thankful for (in no particular order).

1.       My family.  My husband, daughter, parents, in-laws, and beyond are non-negotiable.  Without my family I wouldn’t be the person that I am.  Even though at times I may seek some quiet time, I wouldn’t want to be without them.

2.       My health.  This is something most take for granted.  I’m thankful for being able to do most of the things that I’d like to do.

3.       My dogs.  Believe it or not, I’m thankful for all 4 of them:  Shila, Takkani, Tinkerbell, and Isabell.  Even though two of them like to get up early morning and make a lot of noise until someone lets them outside, another likes to hang out outside bark and hunt squirrels all day, and the fourth one thinks she is human.  My life is complete with them in the house.  They bring lots of joy with all of the chaos.

4.       Waking up every morning.  This one is a given.  Even when things seem bad, it’s always worse for someone else.  Being able to wake up daily, I get a fresh start on what’s to come.  I have another day to organize and conquer my To Do list.  I’ll admit some days are good and some days are not as good, but as long as I get to keep starting over every day, then I think that is something to be thankful for.

5.       Having a job.  As much as I’m thankful for waking up in the morning, I still am not happy about getting out of bed.  J  It is a necessary evil and can only be put off so long.  And I’m so thankful that I have a job that I enjoy to go to on a daily basis.

Are You Active Military?

Active Military Families- Dont Miss out on this AMAZING Opportunity

Are you or your spouse an active member of the military?  Have you heard about the awesome opportunity Beachbody has created just for you to help you get physically and financially fit?  You can get P90X, Insanity, and all of the Beachbody workouts, along with Shakeology and all of the amazing nutritionals and supplements all at 25% discount – with no membership fees at all!  Check out some of the information below and get in touch with me to get started!

What is the Beachbody Military program for our Independent Team Beachbody Coaches?

Beachbody is excited to offer this great program for those Coaches who are actively serving in our military.  If you are an active member of the military and newly enrolling as a Beachbody Coach, the cost of your business starter kit ($39.95) and your monthly business service fee ($14.95) will be waived for the duration of your active duty orders.  If you already are a Beachbody Coach and on active duty, your monthly business service fee will be waived for the duration of your active duty orders.  In either case, if your active orders have no stated end date, your business service fee will be waived for a minimum of two years.

I’m a Beachbody Coach and I’ve got friends in the military who would like to enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach.  What’s my next step?

It’s always a great idea to share as much information about this opportunity with your prospective Coach prior to their enrollment.  Giving them a chance to review more about being a Coach can help ensure they’re well informed.  Once they’ve decided to join our Coach network, you’ll want them to complete the Coach application, and submit the completed Coach application, together with a copy of their active duty orders, to the Beachbody Coach Relations team for further review and processing.  Paperwork may be submitted to Beachbody's secure fax at (213) 201-7225 or by email to coachrelations@teambeachbody.com.  If any further information is needed to verify a new Coach’s active duty status, Team Beachbody will reach out to them directly.

I’m active military and I’d like to become an Independent Team Beachbody Coach.  How do I enroll?

Please complete the Coach application, and submit the completed Coach application, together with a copy of your active duty orders or any suitable verification of your status, such as a copy of your military ID or your BIR, to Beachbody Coach Relations team for further review and processing.  Paperwork may be submitted to our secure fax at (213) 201-7225 or by email to coachrelations@teambeachbody.com.  If any further information is needed to verify a new Coach’s active duty status, Team Beachbody will reach out to you directly.

Both I and my spouse are active military.  May we both enroll as Independent Team Beachbody Coaches and have our fees waived?

Yes, if you and your spouse are both active military, you may each enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach, and each of you is eligible to have your basic enrollment fee of $39.95 and your monthly business service fee waived.  Both of you will need to complete the Coach application and submit the application along with the verification of your active status.

I’m active duty military however my spouse would like to enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach.  Is this possible?

Yes, absolutely.  If you are active duty military and are not a Beachbody Coach, your spouse is welcome to take advantage of this benefit.  If your spouse is enrolling as a Coach rather than you, your spouse will need to submit a copy of your active duty orders or other suitable paperwork, in order to qualify for this waiver.  In this particular case, the name on the Coach account will be the enrolling spouse.

I’m active duty military.  Can anyone other than my spouse enroll as a Coach based on my status?

No.  As an active member of the military, either you or your spouse may enroll as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach to take advantage of this waiver of standard fees.  If you and your spouse both wish to enroll as Independent Team Beachbody Coaches, and only one of you is an active member of the military, only one of you would qualify to have your standard enrollment fee of $39.95 and your monthly business service fee waived.

I’m active duty military and I’m already an Independent Team Beachbody Coach.  What’s next for me?

Please submit a copy of your active duty orders or other suitable verification of your status, such as a copy of your military ID or your BIR to the Coach Relations team.  Upon further verification of your active duty status, Team Beachbody will waive your monthly business service fee for the duration of your active duty orders.  Please note that your initial business starter kit charges are not eligible to be refunded.

What do you mean when you say I have to be active duty military to qualify for this benefit?

At the time you submit your Coach application, you will also need to include a copy of your active duty orders or other suitable verification of your status, from your branch of service.  Your active duty orders will likely include a start and end date.  Based upon the end date given, your monthly business service fee will be waived during that time period.  If you are reassigned to active duty at a later date, please contact the Beachbody Coach Relations team for further instructions.

If you’d like more information, please email me at clhillyer@hotmail.com

If you have more extensive questions regarding whether or not you are eligible for this program, please contact the Team Beachbody Compliance department at compliance@teambeachbodycom.
