During this time, W and I carried on as if things were fine.

In Nov. 2012, I met a life coach who introduced me to a very simple concept. Energy.

There aren't two energy buckets for work and for home. There is just one. I know it sounds so simple but at the time, I couldn't make heads or tails out of anything in my life.

This was my first awakening. I had been so tired and depressed in the last couple of years. My weight had ballooned and I was always grumpy. Based on work with the coach, I began to change the what I ate, how I prioritized things and began the process of identifying what was most important to me in life.

Within a month, my mood and energy levels were back up. I was feeling the best I had in a long time.

That's when the second awakening came.
