I remember the first time my son had a seizure. It was THEE scariest moment of my life. My heart dropped. My world stopped. And I all I could say at the moment was “Oh God!” repeatedly and held my son until my daughter came to help. Talk about shock! (Thank God DJ was there!) Life started changing drastically! He was having 10-15 seizures a day sometimes. I was on my fitness journey during all of this and I remember my coach at the time saying ”I guess you will be taking some time off.” Almost in a way that granted me the “ok” to stop the journey. And I…

We are distracted. The world around us is fast-paced. There is someone trying to grab our attention for SOMETHING. Anything really. You probably already received a notification that you rather check than to continue reading. But I encourage you to take ownership of your focus! Be in control of what holds your attention.

I encourage you to seek out your heart’s desires and do EXACTLY what it is that you WANT to do! Not for the validity of…

How to be Happy
I no longer base my happiness on the next gadget or next item or material things. That only leaves you happy for a little while then you need something else to fill that void when the new item no longer feels “new”. My happiness is based on taking each moment in. Living in it. Feeling it. Doing things I enjoy daily. And feeding my body nutritious foods. I legit do a little jig when my plate is filled with colorful foods of the earth! I pause and smile when I want to relish in a moment and be present with it. (Or cry if that’s what it calls for) 1.…

Make it Easy
The challenge for this week is: Make it Easy. What exactly for this mean? It means to make life easy for ourselves. Put processes in place to make life easy for ourselves. To help alleviate issues and challenges that are in our control. If I struggle with getting out the bed when the alarm goes off I need to do something different that will make it easy for me. I actually struggled with this. So I decided to keep my alarm further from the bed where I HAVE to get out the bed to turn the alarm off. If I get back in the bed, that is a choice I…
