Here she is....

The best compliment I could receive

I have always said that the universe gives you what you put out. Last week the universe brought an amazing new patient my way. I happened to notice that he works for Character Lab in Philadelphia. I shared with him that my husband and I are volunteers with the Travis Manion Foundation and that we give "Character Does Matter" presentations. We spoke a lot that day about the importance of character development in children and the importance of people like us out there assisting in development of character. If Jim and I can help 1 child each presentation the day is a success. At the end of our visit together the patient told me that he works with Angela Duckworth the author of Grit and he was going to bring me a special gift, and to keep doing what I'm doing. He returned the next day with an autographed copy and the best compliment I could have received. Keep doing what your doing and stay gritty!  The book is a life changer, I highly reccomend it.

Only 4 weeks away

The Mrs. New Jersey and Pennsylvania United States Pageant is just 4 weeks away!  I am getting more excited each day. I met most of the ladies at pageant orientation last week and they are all amazing ladies.  Please come out and watch I'm certain it will be a great show. I signed up to compete for Mrs. New Jersey so that I can challenge my inner strength on an entirely different level. I believe the winner that night will be the best all around woman for the position.  I must compete against myself and myself only to be the best I can be. For tickets to the pageant visit www.mrsnjpaunitedstates.com. Hope to see you there.

The Meehan's want to say thanks to the CrossFit Community

Jim and I had a very busy and productive day today. Earlier this year we set some personal goals for ourselves that would challenge us on a different level. Jim's goal was to compete in the 2017 CrossFit Festivus Games and come in top 10. Well we can check that one off because he made both happen today. Thank you to our CrossFit home of over 10 years CrossFit South Philly for being there to guide Jim and support him over the years. I would also like to thank CrossFit Bellum for hosting a Purses Full of Hope WOD today to raise awareness of our organization. I left that workout feeling accomplished that I finished well and that I brought home a trunk full of purses to deliver to women in need. Thanks so much Jim and I are so grateful.
