A New Year’s Tip to better health and wellness

As the 2009 year ends and the 2010 year begins I want to take a moment to THANK all of you who have helped make NaturalBody Personal Training a true success!  Thanks to all my clients who so graciously gave me the opportunity to train each of you to better health and to accomplish the goals that you were trying to achieve!  I hope each of you has experienced a new sense of wellness due to my help.  I have enjoyed teaching and learning from each of you!

Thanks to all who allowed me to teach you water exercise, kick boxing and slimnastics it was huge for all of us!   To those who enjoyed my classes at EarthFare and my booth out at the Farmers Market on Adrey Kell…Thank you for trusting me to teach you about eating right and enjoying what our farmers have for us here in our community and learning about organic and natural nutrition!  What a pure joy it was to  be with down to earth folks like little Stella Smith from Van Wyke and her wonderful parents and her farm animals!  We all loved her and her story that made the paper with all that she had to teach us!  Thanks Stella!  For the MANY that came out to hear my dear friend Joel Bryant motivate each of us to “DOING THE DREAM”….I thank you and Joel for making it a success as I was honored to have him here to promote wellness in so many ways! 

Getting married was a highlight for me this year to my wonderful husband Jim.  Becoming a new step mom of 3 wonderful boys has been extremely rewarding!  The boys have also contributed to NaturalBody Personal Training’s success by always inviting their friends to all the events and the kids come and boy do they have a great time!

Jim blessed me with many wonderful trips this year. From Lodtz, Poland where I  was able to travel around with a local friend Anita who shared her recipes and garden and showed me a REAL farmers market to traveling to San Fransisco and working the NorthFace Endurance Challenge with athletes who really showed me what true dedication is to run 50 miles in the Golden Gate National Forest in the pitch black night, I have truly learned so much to bring back and enjoy writing my health and wellness column for our local Carolina Gateway newspaper to share my experiences.

Those of you who came out to give of your time to support Breast Cancer and walk with my group God Bless you!  We had such a great time and raised so much money with Team NaturalBody! And to those who tied sooo many shoe laces with my group for Samaritans Feet the needy children thank you and so do I. You will never know the impact this will have.

The year was a real learning experience for me with teaching so many folks about health and wellness.  From the Farmers Market, to EarthFare to Corporate Wellness in businesses around the Ballantyne community it has been a true blessing to me and those listening.  Thanks to all who invited me in!  I learned so much from each of you! I hope you learned something from me too!

It has all been so much fun and for sure I look forward to all the new and exciting moments, learning experiences and new friends I meet and can help along the way. 

TIP for the new year!

I encourage each of you to do as I wrote about in October when I talked about going down the Road Less Traveled.  Make sure you take the time to explore the laughter you hear.  Take the chance to explore new avenues that you have been desiring to explore no matter how dark and scary they may seem.  If your heart is leading you, just go….just do it and fear not!  Just as you may remember, the laughter came, I explored it and found that the new friends I made that day would be true and future friends!  Here I am again with them just 2 months later living it up at “The Road Less Traveled” girls Christmas Party!  Can you believe it?! They even named their group after my article!!!!!!  You never know what will happen when you take the chance!
Enjoy the new year!  Take a chance…. go for your dreams and fear not!  God is with you every step of the way!  You can do it!  I look forward to sharing new and exciting adventures with you in 2010 and showing you what NEW is just around the corner for Cand Acuff and NaturalBody Personal Training! See you NEXT YEAR!  In good health through a NaturalBody,  Candi
