Hi girlies (& all other readers :)!!!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to begin this journey. Many heartfelt thanks to my co-blogger and friend, Becky, for sharing her idea. Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Kathleen Fee, (but you can just call me “Fee”) and I am ……I am……well many things. We know that “I am” is the ultimate Universe statement, so here’s what I think I know today. I am a child of God, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, an ICF certified life coach, irish, a recovered alcoholic, a runner, a weight watcher, a spiritual seeker and now a blogger. I have been called many other things….. but that’s for a different time and a different blog 
.
In all the many things that “I am”, I suspect recovered alcoholic may have jumped out at you. Please know, I do not disclose my recovery lightly or to shock you. Disclosure is the ultimate personal decision. I share this with you because my journey into wellness, into the woman that God intended me to be, began on August 6, 2002 when I took my last drink and drug. Since that day so many amazing things have happened, you would have to be me to believe the whole thing! I grew spiritually enough to find my true calling, Life Coaching. I became quiet enough to hear my doctor when he suggested it was time to really get healthy now that the alcohol is gone, beginning the 3 ½ year journey of losing 140 pounds through diet and exercise. I became confident enough to believe that the “fat girl”, who could barely walk 10 minutes a day, would (not could) become a runner, running my first half marathon on my Mom’s birthday this year. I became enlightened enough to believe that my life and the Universe’s plan are supposed to be Divinely synchronized, and I became courageous enough to trust that if I continue to do the next right thing, amazing things will and do happen.
In this space I commit to you to be honest, sincere and supportive. At times I may get irreverent and funny, but it will never be intended to hurt or harm. If it does…. please call me out….since that is the only way to grow. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your day and know that my day is more amazing because you are in it. P.S. That is me crossing the finish line of my first half marathon

Love you my girlie, my bestie and my ultimate inspiration! So,I guess now I have to share you?
Good way to start the day… reading about who you are brings me to reflect on who I am & how I would describe myself. Taking note of the good in me and addressing any part that may need to be changed. Overall, I am glad I’m me!
(In all your descriptions, you forgot to mention that you are an inspiration. How could you forget that one?!?!)
Thanks, Fee. I’m really looking forward to reading this each day.. : )
You go Fee. You are an inspiration and motivation to all who know you. I am a follower for sure.

Fee I knew you when! I am extremely proud of you and so glad I got the opportunity to re-connect with you. Your strength is amazing. I look forward to following the blog and perhaps contributing comments when the mood hits. You are truly a “Fabulous” woman.
All you ladies above are so much a part of who I am ….there are no words to describe. Inspirations in your own unique ways! I will continue to learn and follow all your leads. @Sheryl….a half marathon can always be in your future!

Kathleen – you’ve taught me so much….now how to blog? Oh the miracles of the universe. I cannot wait to follow this and learn. Your energy, passion and faith are invaluable to me. ODAT.
Kathleen, I was touched by your words here. Somehow I feel like I have had the blessing of watching you as you grew/grow to this fabulous person that was always there. Although we may not see each other regularly, your story comes to my thoughts occasionally and I send out blessings to you. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. I look forward to being able to peek into your life through your blogging. Congratulations on your marathon too!
