About Me....

Hi there! I'm Lisa and I am currently a student at a College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. I recently turned 50, which made me put my life into perspective... I like to measure life on a 12 inch ruler. Each inch equaling the equivalent of 10 years. Average life span is 80 years old (8 inches), so if you took a ruler and put your finger on the inch that represents your age, you could see how much more or less time you have in life to achieve that 8 inch mark. Some may see more, some may see less, but as I stared at my finger on the 5 inch mark, I knew I had to make some changes to my current lifestyle, to earn more inches on that ruler! I started eating healthier, less snacks and more fruits and vegetables. Exercise became part of my everyday life, not as a second thought. As I bike, lift weights and stretch in yoga, I feel myself become stronger, livelier and less stressed! A job loss resulted in a change in career and thus, pursuing a second bachelor's degree in the medical field, nursing. My free time is now homework and happy hour has become a special treat, twice a month, not twice a week! HAHA Through God's grace and guidance, I will achieve my dream of a BSN and bless the lives I touch, one day at a time. I saw this quote on a wall hanging and live by it - “ Just remember, life has no remote. You have to get up and change it yourself”!
