We all know the feeling that comes with commitment in our lives. Commitment can range from being in a relationship to being a part of a team sport to the beginning of a thought or idea for yourself. When you start to entertain an idea in relation to a big life change it’s nearly impossible to not think about it constantly. 

I found for myself that the more I thought about resigning from my job, the more I knew I had to do it. I won’t tell you it was easy though. For those who know me, they could probably guess the number of months it took me to really commit to making this decision. For a long time it was just an idea, I knew in my gut I was ‘going to do it’ but my head telling me otherwise. It wasn’t until I released all emotional connection to the decision that I really felt I could do it. Five days after I handed in my resignation, April 10, I got my fourth period in two years! I knew that I had made the right decision for myself. 

On April 15th I took my final exam for my night class at IHN. Although I haven’t talked a lot about the course yet, it definitely became a huge symbol for this entire world I was curious about. Every Wednesday night I would come home and pour out every single amazing thing I had learned to my amazing husband. He listened and asked questions and let me geek out for an hour every week. I knew there was something connecting me to fertility and nutrition which started me thinking about the possibility of going back to school. The school offers a one year holistic nutrition program that I am seriously considering going into. It would give me the nutritional and practical information I need to really help others. It’s one thing to have knowledge from reading but it’s another to study under some amazing professors who have spent their lives diving into each of the specific topics the courses offer.
