I went from walking 10K daily to less than 2K. It was frustrating.

Time for You.

As a mom, I’ve wrestled with the concept of time more deeply than ever, especially after becoming a teacher. Over twenty years have gone by, and yet, here I am again, reflecting on this idea with fresh eyes.

After my fall, I’ve been healing. My ankle is much better now, and it’s reminded me of how much I used to move. In just about a month, I’ve seen progress, but there are still limitations. Today, I wish I could: ride bikes, walk freely, run, chase, play tag, soccer, and tennis—sports I’ve loved and played for over thirty years.

Recovery has forced me to pause. I had to say no to my half-marathon plans. From walking nearly 10K steps daily as a teacher, I’m now barely hitting 2 K. That shift hit hard. I’ve felt stuck. Anxious. Like my heart was calling out for movement.

But here’s the breakthrough: I found a way forward.

Not long ago, I saw people running in place and thought, “Why not me?” Today, I started small—some light breath work, a gentle yoga flow. I noticed tightness in my chest—yep, anxiety—but instead of wishing I could move, I did. I ran in place. Counted to 40 in my head. Checked my watch… and there it was. My heart rate had jumped. I kicked out my legs, repeated the move, and there it was again: 150 BPM. I was moving. I was back.

So if you’re feeling stuck, anxious, low-energy, and you can move—I’m here to tell you: do it. You don’t need a gym membership. You need you. Just show up. Breathe. Move. Start.
