Merrie Posey, ND 333, LLC

It has been quite a long time since I blogged.  That seems to be how I start my blogs of late!

I have been busy!  Busy doing lots of stuff and busy doing nothing!

Since I started Facebook, I sort of quit blogging because I seemed to be posting daily there.  Not as many words, but it was easier and faster to get some feedback.

Here I am,  69 years old,  about 9 months away from being 70!   This past year I started a business.  You see, I had wanted to do this for many years.  I prayed and worked and received my doctorate of Naturopathy (ND) about 8 years ago.  Yes, I was over 60!  It was a dream that I had. It was important to me.  However, after I received my degree, I did nothing with it!  Nothing!  I pretended to be healty and eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle.  But ...

Then, in December 2017 I decided to go ahead and take steps to do what I wanted to do.  Yes, it was a very costly investment.  Yes, it scared the padookey out of me!  Yes, I was 68 years old!  Yes, everyone thought I was crazy!  Nobody understood!

I did it anyway!    I. DID.  IT. ANY. WAY.

It was the hardest thing I've ever done (besides raising 4 awesome children).  The learning curve is huge.  My education had laid dormant for 8 years without being used.  The training takes lots of time.  The understanding was difficult.  The investment of money and time was more than I imagined.

The rewards are wonderful!  I absolutely LOVE what I do.  It is a good thing, because I have not made any money!  But, I have grown immensely!  I have developed skills, confidence, knowledge, understanding, and perseverance that I would never have had.  I have made friends.  I have helped others.

I feel like I am finally walking in my calling.  I feel like I have something to offer.  I feel satisfaction, contentment, peace, and purpose.

My regret?  That I did not jump sooner!  That more people don't know about it and take advantage of it.  That I don't have the opportunity to help more people.

There are days I sit and wait for someone to call and schedule an appointment.  There are days that I question my worth and value.  There are days that I want to quit and walk away.

BUT, there are also days that I can hardly wait to get up and get going.  I am so excited about what I am learning and how I can apply it and help others walk in health and healing.

You see, I am a health advocate.  I see my job as helping to determine what is going on in your body.  I see the potential for supporting and helping to keep the body balanced and healthy.

I cannot diagnose anything.  I cannot treat a medical condition.  I can, however, help to see where your body is struggling and suggest some things to help support and build up that part of your body.

I think that is awesome!  I think it is beneficial.  I think that it is very significant in living a healthy body and lifestyle by suggesting diet, exercises, supplements, and lifestyle changes.

I wish that I could help you!  I believe that I could ...
