At first glance, it is an emblem that symbolizes my certification from a health coach program I
completed. However, it is so much more than that. First of all, it means relationships. God ordained that I would find the Fresh Start for Health program online late last fall. I was immediately connected with the CEO and Founder, Bess Blanco. She became a fast friend. Her love for the Lord and others oozed out of her emails, phone calls and messages. Almost immediately, I know I wanted to be a part of the Fresh Start for Health family. I chose the word family intentionally because that was what it was from the beginning. Bess fostered that kind of relationship with me and others enrolled in the program and it spread between us. Through our Facebook group and weekly calls we became very close. While I know the richness of some great relationships, in real life, I had not known such depth in online relationships. Yes, there were weekly reading assignments, homework, weekly calls, goal setting, vision casting, mission statements to write, etc. but there was also a sisterhood. I could not have asked for a better experience in a health coach program, nor in the subsequent support that I continue to receive! God knew that this highly relational girl would thrive in such an environment and I did and continue to do so!
