D is for Di Biases [A-Z Blog Challenge]

Theme A B C

D
The Di Biases

Every person in recovery needs three things; they need a sponsor/mentor, an accountability partner/team, and encourager coaches.  My friends the Di Biases are two of my encourager coaches.

Susan has been an encourager since we met.  She was there comforting and motivating me when my first attempts at starting my own business went bust.  When life got so bad that I just wanted to crawl in a hole, she urged me to get help.  We've laughed together and been ticked off together.  Both her beautiful spirit and love for nature bring me joy.

Carmine is a bicycle enthusiast with an infectious smile who urges me to keep cycling (no matter how slowly).  He's also the crazy man who had me out on a dirt bike trail and tried to kill me.  :)  He shares tips and passes his cycling magazines on to me to read.  He's also there to answer questions and help me learn about my bike.  I appreciate the fact that with all his knowledge, Mr. Di Biase has never treated my like I was stupid or beneath him. 

Carmine and Susan are great people to know and they are an awesome part of my recovery team.  They make me smile.

    1. Hey Jo,

      It's right here: http://iron-diva.blogspot.com/2014/04/e-is-for-exercise-z-blog-challenge.html

      BTW--I hope this doesn't sound rude, but this would really be better handled through an e-mail. Thanks so much.
