Happy belated Easter treat, at least that is what I thought when I went to open up that special Cadbury Egg I had such great memories of. Yes I had them in the past (way in the past) and yes I saw them on TV commercials prior to the official Easter holiday (several months prior) and yes I had waited until April 15 to let myself have this special treat. You see I had been swearing off sweets and avoided all treats and deserts until I decided this was the day, Picture sunbursts, angels singing and unicorns all prancing about as I unwrapped this memory and took a bite of . . . . . WAIT A MINUTE! What happened to that gooey goodness that drips from the chocolate casing and drizzles down my face with that first bite?! What was this thick, unsatisfying “cream” gunk that I was biting into? All that waiting and then all that disappointment.
Have you ever done that? Waited until the perfect time to chase down your dream? Held off waiting for the right time and opportunity for perfection? Could have done this sooner but you were sure it would be better later?

Yes, one small change at a time-own it-become the person you want to be, wellness begins with you and one small change.
