Thank You 99Walks

The Benefits and Impact On My Life

By Regeana Canada, publisher of Macaroni Kid Edwardsville-Glen Carbon, IL January 16, 2020

I have always considered myself an avid walker. Never really having a purpose or reason behind walking. If I felt like walking then I would simply go walking. I've seen the articles floating around about 99Walks but I didn't have the desire nor the motivation to participate in it. See, I was bogged down with life and had lost myself in the process. So now, I'm on the path of finding and loving "Me" again. So I took the leap of faith and joined 99Walks. Heck, what could it hurt? I really didn't know what to anticipate by joining. Oh, but to my surprise, 99Walks is what I'm needing in this stage of my life!

Let me share a few things with you:

Benefits for Regeana:

  • Allows me to have that "Me" time.
  • When I go walk
    • I'm not concerned about the grandkids,
    • The dishes that might be in the sink or dish rack,
    • That load of laundry that may need folding or might be in the washer or dryer.
    • Or anything else that could hinder me from walking 
  • I can do whatever I feel like doing while I'm walking.
    • I can meditate on things, 
    • I can sing (not very well but I sing anyway),
    • I can laugh, 
    • I can cry. 
    • Just whatever, I can do it while walking.
  • I love the fact there's a group that I can share my accomplishments with, that supports me in crushing my goals, and allows me to make new friends!

Impact it has had on Regeana:

  • I have gained a sense of freedom like no other.
  • My drive, determination and motivation has increased by just taking a daily walk
  • I have become more focused on MYSELF, my business and my family!

I just don't know how to explain it but 99Walks is Mine, I own it. It's my motivator, my purpose!

Thank you, 99Walks for helping me, Regeana on her journey in this thing I call "Life!"
