And, well, I just wasn’t ready to part with my roof and four walls,so renting out our home seemed like a decent, creative option toprovide additional income and step away from it all for a bit. Inmy heart, my efforts to find solutions for the greater good werewell intended. But in the end, I couldn’t bare the suffocating emotionsthat accompany good-byes. Saying so long to your homecan be harder to do that saying good-bye to people! Who knew?For a second, I felt like this “rebuilding” thing was a cruel joke,but now it feels even more exciting than the first time around. Nowonder I live with this eternal flame of optimism that no one canblow out, not even me. I get it - live your life, let your fears go.It’s worth it!If you’ve followed my Pub Page over the past year, you know thatunforeseeable “circumstances” bit me in the ass (chomped downreally freakin’ hard actually). Realities and priorities shifted at thespeed of light. I had the carpet pulled out from under me so manytimes; it felt like I had a mean rug burn. And yes, it hurt my (notso fit anymore) bum. I really had no other choice. I did go fromchange to charge, motivated by the future promise of good thingsto come, because I’m at the helm again darn it! And maybe now, Ican settle back in to my life and get working on this ‘glum bum’of mine again. After all, this is the home of PhillyFIT too, and Ibetter be sure I’m living up to it!Look, I’m a single mom in the throws of re-evaluating my life andjust finally realizing that there is “nothing to fear except fearitself”. When starting any new venture I always ask myself,“What’s the worst thing that could happen?” And so, I havedecided to take on new challenges (added a new level of marketingoptions to my clients) and upped my game in the work place. Ithink of it as adding a few more weights to the barbell. Much likework in the gym, I am hopeful that acclimating to this new role ofhelping clients internally at their own businesses will becomemore natural over time and will only serve to build nice lean muscle!Rebuilding our home, adding more work to my load, it’s allgood.We’ve all been there-done thatonce or twice in our lives. This timeit’s my turn again. But maybe living alife insanely busy really IS what makesme tick? I’ve been told that this speedsuits me well before.Maybe I’m Really a CatThere are days when I feel like I’velived nine lives. But much like those darn cats, I’ve managed toland right side up on my feet after each fall (albeit a bit wobbly).Right now, there is only hope and love moving forward, thanks toall that I have learned. I need to own it, and be thankful that Ihave learned so darned much. Took me longer than most, but Ibelieve I’m finally there.Hey, the weather’s great – get out there and get fit!Meow!xoxoJami’s Five for Dealingwith Change1. Make a time capsuleGather up old pictures, keepsakes and meaningful items having todo with your big change. Keep it simple. If you’re moving, itcould be a few flowers from your lawn or even a key from yourhome. Bury it in a place you know you can go back to twenty-fiveyears from now.8 I PhillyFITMay/June I 267-767-4205 I www.phillyfit.com
2. Take things off your computer and burn to a disk or externaldriveThis is a biggie. I’ve found that old photos, old documents, etc.can really make it hard to move on and detach. This is an oftenoverlookedprocess that may take some time, but in the end therewill be no pesky emotional remembrances on your computer.Cleansing your electronics (phone too) can be very cathartic and Ihighly recommend it!3. Write down lessons learned/Be creativeGosh, every country song I know is a bit of a ‘coulda, shoulda,woulda’ melody. Try taking a stab at writing your own song aboutweathering through your own personal storms. You may just optto write a poem about moving on and not looking back. This issomething you can do with the entire family, if appropriate (everyperson could take a stanza).4. Look for signsI know this one sounds hokey, but I really believe that if you’reopen to receiving signs of assurance from “wherever,” you’ll feelvalidated in making your change. Read those fortunes inside thosecookies! Watch the news, listen to the radio or just go for a drivein the car or a walk. I just taped one to my oldest son, Derek’s,bedroom door actually! Sometimes signs are all around you – youjust have to be in the right frame of mind to soak them in. Mylate, father sends me signs all the time. I just know it; they’re toopersonal and too eerie not to be silent, yet strong messages channeledto me in clever ways.5. ExerciseHa! You know I had to FIT it in somewhere. Oftentimes, bigchange is accompanied by feelings of depression. IT DOESN’THAVE TO BE DEPRESSING! Letting go is quite a mournfulprocess (I get it). There’s nothing better than releasing some powerfulendorphins. The best way to do that my friends is to get yourheart rate up. (Okay, so those of you with your minds in the gutter,you know what I meant.) Even taking a walk around the blockcounts. Start working out three times a week for at least forty-fiveminutes and the blues will scram, and so will those pesky poundsyou hate too.PHILLYFIT FAMILYPublished by: Jalynn Concepts, LLCPublisher: Jami AppenzellerArt Design/Production: Jessica BinderCopy Editors: Heather Hoehn, Bev AppenzellerCover Photography: Picture of Patrick & Chelsea by Sean Gomes.Picture of Linda by John Bayley.Publishers Page: Photo of Jami & Savannah by Joe Chielli,Church Street Studio, Phila., PACalendar Of Events: John BeelerAd Sales:Jami Appenzeller - jami@phillyfitmagazine.comRita Henry - rjhenry659@aol.comDistribution Manager: R.I.P.
