HEALTHY to INSURABLE JOURNEY

I named this section “Healthy to Insurable” because there was a period in my life of about a span of 20 years that I struggled mentally, spiritually and physically.  It was a time when I left me behind. The me that was optimistic about what I would accomplish in my life... you know the dreams in your cherished 20’s and 30’s. Life happened and the process of realization had taken a toll on me.  The realization that I had a lot to do in a short amount of time. Therefore, the race was on. The race to wealth and prosperity. Little sleep, long days working and continuing working after hours on business ventures, waking up in the wee hours of the morning to always pray for whatever crisis at the time, church duties, husband battles, business challenges, taking crash college courses for our business, crazy eating habits. Eating sometimes good, most times bad because I was just too busy.  Busy being a mother to two daughters from two different generation gaps. One in college, the other one barely out of diapers. Just living or should I say just breathing, but I kept going until…...

Preparing for my youngest daughter, Tori’s high school prom, close friends and relatives were at the house watching her get ready for the big night.  Of course, all sorts of photos were being taken for memories of that special day. I was in a couple of the photos with my daughters and I honestly didn’t recognize that woman standing between my daughters.  (See below one of the photos)

I knew I had gained weight before this photo was taken, I just didn’t realize until that moment that not only was I huge, I was not feeling the best physically either.  I was just too busy trying to accomplish so much that I simply just pushed what was happening to me aside. Thinking I was going to start taking better care of myself starting tomorrow!  I was always the type to have a walking exercise regiment when I knew I wasn’t eating right and gaining weight. I stuck with my exercise and better eating habits for a couple years, stop for a couple years, start again for a couple of years, stop again.

But when I looked at that photo, I was crushed, because I knew I had went too far and had no idea how to overcome the lifestyle I had created for myself.  I was mentally, spiritually, physically exhausted and the worst part, I was broke. Since, I was self-employed, on and off, I never had health & life insurance coverage on a regular basis.  I started to be more and more concern about the possibility of me and my husband leaving this world too soon without leaving an inheritance and legacy for our daughters. I had a pretty good life insurance policy taken out on us both several years prior when we were much younger that would give our kids, let’s say some nice grieving money, however, during one of our financial rough periods, that was one of the first “expenses” that was let go.  Not realizing at the time, that was not an expense, it was our daughters’ inheritance because it was quite a sum. We were younger and healthy and pass insurance medical exams with ease….

At the time of my rude awakening (turned out to be my blessed awakening), I had to find a solution to become healthy & insurable.  I am not a doctor or nurse, just someone who became healthy & insurable through holistic alternatives.  I will share them with you.
