As I approach the half millennial mark, a little introspection is due. Not at all because I have been bullied and pushed around by evilness (erm, yes I actually have) but simply because I have not spent enough time to grief for the 3 closest people to me in this 2 year period of my life being my Mom, Fatty and Alice. It hit me suddenly this year that ever since my Mom passed away, I was driven to share about the Izumio business and it was all go-go-go until I hit a high and became successful supporting almost 3,000 people under me within 2 years and despite a lot of drama in the wings, I kept going. In case you were wondering what drama, my upline leader ditched me because I had brought in a power-house purported selfish bitch into my business. I protected her as best I could but the gossip that spewed from the mouths of women forced us out of the group and we have been out ever since. Zero support yet still contributing all my team’s hard work but it was OK. I am an independent girl and wherever I go whatever I do, I will be A-OK. We trudged on.
Last year, my health took a dive. It was my second wake up call after my heart disease. I hadn’t realised that my hard work and loaded stress from all these people ate me up and I cried to myself for weeks. It was a question to God – why. WHY. Why was it that all the good people get taken? Not being presumptuous at all that I was good but the very 3 people who were taken from me in the last 2 years were really, really good people. I was torn. On one hand happy to see them again on the other side, on the other hand worrying about my two girls and how they would cope without a mother. We were so close after all. I knew the Hubs would be a good carer but still, a mother would have made their lives complete. So cried I did. I blamed myself for allowing people to bully me. I blamed myself for not being able to say no to so many. I blamed myself for not listening to the Doctor 3 years ago when I had already been warned of this. I blamed myself for not eating clean, not resting sufficiently, not drinking enough water, and most of all, not even consuming my very own Izumio and Super Lutein sufficiently that I shared so much about. I completely brought this upon myself. Was it worth it? Absolutely not. All the money in the world would not have made up for this. And I don’t even think it happened just because of the stress of last year. I accept that it is an accumulation of my bad lifestyle since forever. So I suck it up quietly now and ACCEPT.
Since then I have been reading a lot of cancer books and learning how to eat clean. I took a solo holiday with kids to London for 2 weeks just after Japan with the family. I bought more books to read to FORCE myself to slow down and just chillax. Honestly? I have not been very successful in doing all that I need to do. So I try again next month……
Rest more, eat clean, put the phone away. Forget about the business. Spend more time with family. I am really looking forward to Australia and Europe. The Doctor says 10-15 years and don’t worry, long time more and also, that is worst case. However, I read that worst case, some have gone from Stage 1-4 within 6 months. Well, I am still here!!! So I must be doing OK!! Actually not so. I feel it spreading and this is why I MUST give it all up for now to REST. My friends are amazing. My team is fantastic. I have really no excuse. So with my 2 girls as the end goal in my daily meditation (yes, I have learnt now to meditate. It is quite fascinating!), I am going to CONQUER.
