Weight loss for pre-empty nester women who don't like working out
I watch The Bachelor/The Bachelorette. Don’t judge. I think it’s a fun show to watch. Trashy, yes, that too. I told my kids it was research to help them in their dating lives of what red flags to look out for. Ha!
The recent Bachelor season just ended and it has just rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not here to perpetuate a cancel culture, I’m here to create a cheerleading culture.
Let me tell you about my team’s cheerleading culture.
Last June, when the racial strife was at its peak, I asked two of our black team members to help our white team members understand how we could do and be better. It was a beautiful conversation and the two women had nothing but grace, patience, and kindness towards our ignorance. Their response moved us toward change and understanding.
After summer came election season. When some of our team members voted differently than others, we respected each other's differences and continued on our mission to help people with their health goals.
Recently, on a Zoom call, a couple leaders confessed to feeling isolated and not enough because of the toll the pandemic had created. I watched as all the leaders lifted each other up, pointing out what each other were doing right, cheering each other on!
We allow for mistakes.
We believe the best in others.
We practice patience.
We love in our differences, even when they drive us batty and we feel like throwing a “bless your heart” their way.
We acknowledge we are growing into the people we were created to be and sometimes that means stumbling along the way.
We give each other grace upon grace because we all need it.
No one wins in a cancel culture. Everyone wins in a cheerleader culture!
