book review

Coming back stronger

February 23, 2012 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

I got a kindle for Christmas 🙂

I love it because it can hold so many books at the same time.  You see, I am always reading a book about eating or weight loss, an autobiography or biography, and something else.  Variety is important to me as my mood dictates what I want to read.  I love that I don’t have to cart around three books anymore.

Coming Back Stronger by Drew Brees was a fantastic book.

He is a star NFL quarterback that has faced many challenges.  In his book, he shares these challenges with such humility.  Here are a few of my favorite clippings:

  • You have to see the truth about your situation and accept it in order to heal right and then return stronger.

This hit home for me as my competitive nature tends to have me go out like gangbusters with the best of intentions, only to get hurt and sabotage my efforts.

  • You can’t always determine your circumstances, but you can always determine your attitude.

Drew is certainly not the first one to write this and every time that I read it or hear it I’m glad that I did.  It’s so easy to blame my mood or attitude on the circumstances or people in my life.  This is a good reminder that it is always my choice how I choose to face my life.

  • The most important game of the season is always the next game.

Today is the most important day of my life.  The current moment is the most important moment of my life.  It’s so easy to get lost in goal setting and dreaming of the future.  While this is important, nay crucial, to achieving success in any aspect (finances, weight, fitness) it is equally crucial to not stay dreaming of then.  We live in this moment, and this is the moment that needs our full attention.  Once the planning is done, then the work to get there is done now.

These are just  a few of the quotes that I took out of this book.  I highly recommend it.

Happy reading

Kerri

I love you well baby checks with babies & parents. I love you well baby checks with babies & parents. This is a great opportunity to sit down with a healthcare provider and get all your questions answered from a natural perspective. We do physical exams and can look in babies ears, listen to their heart, measure them, and track their progress together. 

If your baby has extended health benefits then now is a great time to use them before the year is up.

Fertility Acupuncture at Rooted

This treatment has been offered at Rooted for over a decade. 

Acupuncture helps regulate menstrual cycles, decrease pain, increase blood flow to the uterus to help with lining, and also helps decrease your stress. 

It’s something you can do when you feel like you can do nothing at all. When you have no control over when you’ll get pregnant. At least you know you can do this for your body to help increase your chances.

However, I started my journey with baby food with a little bit of fear when my firstborn developed severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. Now it's my passion to share with moms how to introduce foods safely and properly to avoid food allergies and sensitivities.

This year I bought golf clubs for my birthday and This year I bought golf clubs for my birthday and decided this was the year I was taking up golf officially. 

It was time to build this skill so I could spend more time with my mom and stepdad. The byproduct is creating new memories with other friends who also like the game and making new friends. 

This Friday we golfed in the 5th annual Mike Gilbertson Memorial tournament. I’ve sponsored a hole for a few years for @carlaynegilbertson and @seasonscentreforgrieving but this is the first year I golfed. It was so much fun for a great cause. I’m excited to see how much the event raised for these special kids.
