To Anyone Struggling.

I’m going to say a little something today to anyone struggling.

On the left was a girl whose smile was there because someone said “Say cheese!”

The core of me was alone… in an upheaval of a mess made by wrong choices… fueled by addiction, doubt, and shame.

I rode my high horse as a means of trying to fit in. I let crappy people influence my choices. I was robbing myself of a life of freedom, goodness, and wellness.

The woman on the right smiles because she crushed her devils… weathered the storms, and found peace within the brokenness.

Today life is tough. We scroll through social media. We see fitness models talk about their chiseled success, we see fad diet after diet, shake after shake, supplement after supplement. How can we not feel conflicted?

Here’s the deal: find what works for you and seek the pure joy in it. You want to eat meat? Eat meat. You want to be vegan? Be vegan. You want to cartwheel on the street between each mile.? Do it!!!! Find what you love and let it be a neverending well of happiness.

This world has had enough people spit venom about individual choices.

Today… all I’m asking is you wake up and choose you. Give thanks for who you were, give praise for who you are, and lay down some gratitude for who you will continue to become.

Find what works for you… price tag it and own it. Show the world… be the change.

I promise you someone is watching… let’s give ’em something to talk about ✌️.

Grit is Gold.

My life has certainly been a journey full of crazy moments, unpredictable seasons, challenge, adversity, and hope.

There are many things I have done wrong, choices I would have made differently… but my heart still swells at a random act of kindness.

Holding the door for a stranger, someone telling you your smile is priceless, a cup of coffee made perfect, sneakers and sunshine.

These prove to me everyday that in this crazy world gone mad… good still remains.

People make me laugh and sometimes scream, but helping them realize their worth, and reach their goals is my true purpose and passion.

Do not settle for brief moments, or average seasons of life. Know your worth… price tag that bi&c@ and own it.

Envision lays the foundation… but grit gets you there. Happy Friday, People!

Wave at the Haters.

You have one life… one chance… one dream to leave a legacy. How you wake up and act today will set the stage for your life tomorrow.

Do I have regrets? Yes.

Do I stumble with my choices sometimes? Absolutely.

Do I know that I will never allow certain people, places, or things to be responsible for the detrimental navigation of my own happiness? You bet your ass I do.

Today is my day and yours‼️ Don’t politely tell this world who you are… SHOW THEM.

I promise you someone is watching❤️.

We have a choice, we have a say, and we determine who we will become… amen and amen!

Light It Up.

Why do you do it?” I get asked frequently by many… “How do you find inner motivation? How can you wake up and find time?”

For me, the answer is simple. Not ever going back to a place of discontentment.

Why should we settle? Why should we continue to let people, places and things carve out the person we are? Our circumstances may be crappy, or seem minute. Our pasts may seem daunting, unjust, or just average.

If you want to be a force of nature… then wake up and do the work. Let the lessons of life guide you. Take small steps to release your crap, and say yes to challenge and change.

You are responsible for you. The haters will hate, the naysayers will vomit venom, the critics will judge. Get in your tunnel and light it up… let the world see what can you can do.

You don’t have to be the best, or the fastest. You just have to be consistent. I promise you, someone is watching you. Teach them something worth learning🖤.

Don’t Let the Hard Days Win.

To Whom This May Concern…🖤🖤🖤
I got asked today: “Why do you do it? How can I do it, too?”

The answer lies deep within the reflection in the mirror.

Maybe you’re tired of pretending, like I was…
Maybe you’re done with people pleasing…
Maybe you’re scared of the unknown…
Maybe you’re scared of the known…
Maybe you’re fed up with toxic crap…
Maybe you’re done with fear and shame…
Maybe you’re overwhelmed with reality…
Maybe you’re too far gone with fantasy…
Whatever it is… don’t let the hard days win.

Lace the sneakers, pedal the bike, swim the pond. Commit to something greater than negative naysayers. Light the match… fuel the joy and spread that sh@$ like wildfire! 🖤
