| Introduction | As the name of this blog-"The Fit Optimist" implies, I enjoy working on maintaining and improving my level of fitness, and am the eternal optimist. We all have strengths that we can share with others, and one of my strengths is my ability to motivate people, from kids through adults, to try to improve their state of wellness. Because of that, I just finished writing a workbook for kids, geared towards improving self esteem, titled "I Am Awesome! A Healthy Workbook for Kids". I think my next project will be a booklet of motivational tips for women, concentrating on fitness, nutrition, and self esteem. I am a retired health educator, (but still work with middleschoolers a few days a week); the mother of two wonderful adult children; the grandmother (I prefer "Nana") of two beautiful granddaughters; and, the fiance of a wonderful man. Life is good. |
