Strength and a Smile

I can’t think of a better way to start my Monday other than with strength and a smile.

Wake up joyful on purpose and declare your intentions…

We don’t get there by wishing… we get there by doing 👊🏻.

Let’s get it 💙.

Serendipitous Vibes.

Living in the moment detached from the bothers of this life.

Sometimes we find pure joy and pleasantries by accident… seeing something in a new appreciative view, not having expectations but hope, and thanking God just for the very breath I was given at this dawn…

Serendipitous is my vibe today… May it be yours.

Stops Along the Way.

The space between where you stand now and where you dream of landing is filled with many stops of uncertainty along the way. I am thankful for every setback, every tear, and plea of why me.

I am thankful for what my addictions allowed me to see, and why I never want to return there again. I am thankful to able to learn, and grow… to breathe and push my body to limits I never thought possible.

I am thankful for the first pair of running sneakers that humbled me… embarrassed me… and stayed patient as I navigated myself to a rebirth of health, appreciation, and love for the unspoken guidance of my paved roads.

Life wakes each morning with ten new reasons to quit, to surrender, to grumble, and to avoid. Be the one reason you prevail. Live thankfully… the end 👊🏻.

Wellness Wednesday.

There is something to be said for your circle. The people who check in and say hello. They ask you how you are doing. They ask if they can help, and they sincerely want you to live your best life, and feel your best while doing it.

There is a difference between “selling” and “sharing” “pushing” and “ persevering.” Accountability matters… uplifting others matters, and being passionate about tangible and palpable results is not silly or pointless… it’s exciting and motivating.

I will never stop sharing my why or my story. I will never push anyone to buy something that’s not for them… that’s not my style. But I will say this.

I am a constant student of health and wellness. I am always trying and learning… and when I strike gold, I want you to also.

I am grateful for new relationships, for sustainable support from some fantastic people… for when you find them, grab on and hold tight… they are taking you places 💛👊🏻.

If you ever want to know more, you know where to find me. Times are hard. The world is a mess… but you are your greatest asset… now and forever.

Marine Collagen for Skin, Hair, Nails, Sleep Issues

Where do I begin? Those of you who know me know that writing, running, and wellness have become something that I breathe like air. They are my very survival.

My wellness journey has shaped me, saved me, and taught me more about myself in the last few years than I could ever articulate in 100 paragraphs.

I am not a salesman. This post is not about paraphrasing a load of crap, so if you “act now” you can… (fill in the blank). Being somewhat of a wellness influencer, I am fortunate to be surrounded by so many amazing people.

In October I was connected with a spitfire ball of energy, Katie. I instantly liked her, and honestly, I didn’t know why. Her energy maybe, her kind ways, her incredible zest for life?

She had a conversation with me about some things that she has been doing on her journey. She never once asked me to buy anything. We spoke on the phone… connected through social media and a friendship was born.

Back in November, I was struggling with severe cracked and split nails, to the point where I thought I had a very bad vitamin deficiency. It truly concerned me, my sleep was terrible. It seemed that the definitive effects of peri- menopause were winning.

I contacted Katie Gordon Flanagan and she suggested to start using a Marine Collagen product and new nutrition line.

Every word of this is a testimony of my true experience with her marine collagen product recommendation.

✔️My results are absolutely insane. My skin glows, my hair is hands-down the shiniest, and silkiest it’s ever been. It no longer clumps in my shower drain.

✔️This Marine Collagen Elixir is good tasting, has become part of my routine. I previously thought collagen was BS, blah blah (until I could actually see and feel tangible results. I will whole heartedly admit I was wrong about my prior assumptions)!

✔️My eyes have never been so blue or clear.

✔️My fingernails and hands look like two completely different people after 50 days.

✔️My sleep is better, and my energy is improved.

There is no magic in transformation. We must do the work, exercise, strengthen our minds with goodness. Heal past traumas, learn, study, grow… we must do “all the things.”

Having said that, if there is a vessel and vehicle for enhancing everything I believe in, stand for, and choose for my personal well-being… I may have just landed at its doorstep.

The friendships and connections I’ve made. The stories of restoration and achievement, the family value this stands for… I feel blessed to be connected.

I know this will be a next step in my part of changing lives, and helping you change yours too. If I can ever help… message me 💛.

Welcome Home.

Are you ready to shift? How many of us are stuck in what seems like a timeline of never-ending quicksand? Toleration of ideas or thoughts that make us uncomfortable, that spark uncertainty, and allow for dragging of our being… both physically and mentally.

To welcome ourselves home does not mean to give up and just let life “happen to us.” We are the builders and the architects… but more importantly, we are the occupants of our mind, body, and soul.

We must stop looking outward and elsewhere for approval. We must realize that our gifts and talents are unique to us, and we each have a different vessel and source of travel to get where we dream of going.

I was overthinking way too much lately. Letting magazines, commercials, and others’ opinions infiltrate and try to buckle my foundation.

I had to pause, and breathe, and remember that I do not have to stay stuck. I can shift and move onward to being a better athlete, runner, wife, friend, and “all the things” that I cannot wait to accomplish.

Your structure, the way your house is built… is wonderfully designed for you.

You are enough, you have a gift… go find it and share it.

Investing in You.

The future of who you become does not start in someone else’s four walls… it starts in yours.

The potential of your well-being does not start within someone else… it starts within you.

Take the time to sow your own seeds… nurture them and watch them grow.

Investing in yourself is never foolish. Trying something new for personal betterment is not risky… it is smart.

Wanting to see and help people heal and feel their best is not meaningless. It’s nourishment for the soul.

Delay nothing that will aid you in the greatest investment to be made… YOU. What are you waiting for?

The Art of Wellbeing

Good Saturday Morning!

It’s not just another day. It’s more than just a shuffle to the coffee pot. It’s not about let’s just exist and pray nothing gets in our way today. 

It’s not the crap on television or fake news. It’s not the stigmas of BS people have so generously placed upon us. It’s not about faking our way through the day and hoping no one sees our struggles, our shortcomings and our setbacks.

It’s about trying to love and accept ourselves even when the mirror and mind are fighting against us. It’s about forgiving what we could not understand and educating ourselves on nutrition and wellness. 

It’s about owning what we could not change and fighting like hell to do something about it.

It’s about trying our best and believing that no matter what… life is begging us to sign a contract with renewal, and hope, with faith and freedom.

You are enough. Today, tomorrow, and forever. Time to fly.
