Having A Support Team

When starting a life change it’s always best to have a great support team. Let’s look at what the true definition of “Support” 1: to endure bravely or quietly : bear. 2. a (1): to promote the interests or cause of (2): to uphold or defend as valid or right : advocate

So with I needed to ask myself do I have a great support team. Who is my part of support team? How do they support me? Do they share my beliefs in this life changing transformation?

Based on the definition in whole, I would say that my husband has been selected to be a member on my support team. I am sure he will be relieved to hear such a thing..lol

My best friend Julie makes the team as she has not only opened my eyes to so many things she also shares many of my views and is a strong advocate for change. Deep down she is a country girl at heart. Please check out her blog. http://www.networkedblogs.com/blog/threehuggers

My daughter, who I affectionately call “Kiddo” a nickname I borrowed from my friend Julie, makes the team as well; with her many years as a Girl Scout she loves hands on projects, animals, crafts and much more. She is the reason I want to change our way of living. 

Now I have a few people in my life that wanna support me, I think in most cases it more out of love then sharing my beliefs but as the definition states to endure bravely or quietly this would be my Mom & Sister Mandi.  My sister Mandi is 14 years younger than me just starting her family and she also has a blog please check it out http://whendreamscometrue143.blogspot.com

Then I have a few what I will call passive support team members, this means that they love me enough or value our friendship enough to help me out on projects I can bounce ideas off of and they will give me great feedback or advice. These team members are just as important they may not see you your idea as awesome but they are open enough to try and show support.

So in closing, I would say evaluate your peeps. Pick your team members. Make sure your team members & passive team members know just how much your support means to you. Pay it back in some way. Sometimes the littlest thing can show that you love and support them just as much as they do you.
