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.

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.…

The Best Love
As a woman (or man) we are responsible for so much!! As a wife, a mother of 5, daughter, sister, friend, employee, trainer and many more, I have a million roles and responsibilities. I have to give each and every role the effort that they all deserve for the outcome that I desire or expect. But all the roles I mentioned describe who I am to others. It describes my role in their lives.
