My Inner Struggle

Who thought it would be a good idea to give up coffee alcohol and carbs all in the same day?! That was a little tough! April 22nd I took the plunge and started embarking on a keto lifestyle. The idea is to eat fewer than 20 grams of carbs per day putting your body I…

I think when life is stressful I start grasping at things I can control. And it drives me crazy – because there are SO MANY things completely out of my control. You can decide how you feel regardless of your circumstances, and I chose love over everything.  It’s been a tough few months, but I’m…

Weekend warriors A Sunday well spent bring a week of content…or chaos one of those It’s hard to find balance there’s so much to be accomplished on the weekends and I don’t want to sacrifice time with my kids doing fun things too. But we find a way to conquer it all. I ask a lot of…

Spring – what a wonderful opportunity for a new beginning. New mindset. Every experience has brought me to where I am in this very moment. It’s finally thawing out (or so it feels) here this week and I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face as I was riding around running errands for…

I’ll do everything within my own means to make the days count – not count the days. I lost both of my parents pretty young – on the cusp of retirement and they didn’t even touch on most of the things they wanted to do. You’ve got one shot, make it count. This is by…

What you hear repeatedly, is what you believe. Who do you listen to every minute of every day?  Yourself. What if you simply devoted this year to loving yourself more?  Forget everything else. I am truly grateful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength. I mentioned in a recent…

There is no such thing as being too busy.  If you really want something, you’ll make time for it. Fill your cup first. I did something a little uncharacteristic of me; I spent the last 24 hours with myself as my highest priority. It took planning, a few weeks in the making; and I hemmed…

Did you know the average woman puts herself down at least eight times a day? Whether to herself or out loud in front of other people.  I do it all day, but it has to end. Self-love. It has absolutely nothing to do with the way you look, but the way I see yourself. Open…
