Hey there!

Thanks so much for being here. I’m Debbie Godawski (aka DeeDee). I’ll share a little secret . . . creating a website wasn’t part of my plan, yet here we are. However, life took me on a journey that I absolutely didn’t plan for or anticipate. Never in a million years would I have expected to find myself immersed in a whole new purpose in life. And I certainly didn’t expect to become passionate (obsessed really) about health and wellness. Especially at this stage in my life.

What’s even more surprising is uncovering how much I actually needed to heal, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. To say this has been a wild ride is an understatement. And as hard as it is to accept sometimes, it has also been a blessing.

Maybe you can relate?

I decided to create Sharing the HEALTH for a few reasons. Here’s another little secret . . . I am the least technical person in the room. I mean really. As far as technology goes, just give me an on and off switch with no bells and whistles and I am a happy girl. Learning the ins and outs of the website world was so out of my comfort zone and skillset that I still can’t believe I dove in. And there is still so much more to learn. However, I knew in my heart I was supposed to do it.

And so . . . my goal here is:

• To Share. I’m learning a whole new world about health and wellness that just a few years ago I didn’t even know existed. Even more revealing was how blind I was about how I should be taking care of my body, protecting my mind, and nurturing my soul. Exploring these areas has been beyond eye-opening for me. It has, without a doubt, impacted my beliefs, my lifestyle choices, and my overall approach to health. Honestly, I can’t NOT share this stuff. As they say, “once you learn it, you can’t unlearn it”. I’ll take it a step further by saying that once you know it, you can’t NOT share it. I now feel led to do whatever I can to spread the word.

• To Encourage personal growth – yours and mine. I believe that deep down we all want to grow. We all want to be the best version of ourselves. We all want to be healthy and happy and whole. But how in the world do we actually make that happen? One thing I know for sure is that no matter our age, no matter our circumstances, or no matter our stage of life, each one of us is precious in His Sight and we are ALL worthy of living a beautiful life.

• To Heal. I reached a point in my life when I knew I needed to do something to improve my physical health. I wanted to feel better and have more energy, and I was stubborn enough not to accept the “this is the way you are supposed to feel at your age” brainwashing. At least not without a fight. I was aware I needed to heal physically; however, I was not aware of how much I needed to heal emotionally and spiritually. I’ve since learned that you have to tackle all three to fully heal.

I know there is an incredible amount of information, opinions, and promises out there these days. I also know that it can be confusing, contradictory, and overwhelming.

But here’s the thing . . . 

We, as a society, aren’t doing well. We are getting sicker. Our kids are developing chronic diseases that were only diagnosed in the elderly just a few decades ago. Our emotional health is a mess. And quite frankly, our souls are hurting.

Therefore, as I tell my grandchildren, we have a couple of choices here. We can do nothing and nothing will change or improve – and it most likely will get worse. Or we can figure out what we need to do and how to do it in order to turn things around. We get to decide, but just remember, we will reap what we sow. Also, remember anything worth having usually takes work, and many times, it takes a lot of work, determination, commitment, and support.

And so, dear reader, my prayer is that by sharing my story and all that I am learning, we will both be blessed. My hope is that this content provides encouragement, inspiration, and support to you and to me as we travel through this thing called life.

May your journey become a little bit better and a little bit brighter by what you read here.

In Hope, Health, and Purpose,

Debbie (aka DeeDee)
