Hi friends, some of you are long-time friends that remember my kinky permed hair and braces, some are newer that have gotten to know me through my social media reel. Since social media is about connecting with people I thought I would share a little about me and invite you to connect. I am a mom, wife, sister, friend, god-mommy, […]
Slay Your Dragon
Recently, I had the privilege of helping Katherine Wintsch during a book signing event in Springfield, VA. She is a lovely person that I am thrilled to have met. Her message is enlightening and empowering. I was intrigued when I learned we had something in common. Different circumstances but when life knocked us down we […]
On A Mission Monday
We have an opportunity to make a dent in obesity in America. Do you know that ~200 million Americans are overweight or obese? I know this because I am one of them. I went from 17% BMI to over 30% BMI. It didn’t happen over night, it was a slow creep process that happened over […]

So Inspired Sunday!
Friends, I am just returning from an amazingly fruitful and rewarding experience. First, let me tell you that I was very apprehensive to go to this event of 20,000 people I only know via social media solo. I was motivated to go because I wanted to hear Rachel Hollis keynote and I wanted to push […]
Self Care Saturday
With the fast pace and hustle and bustle of each day, when Saturday comes I try to SLOW it down by practicing self – care. Self-care is determined by you. It is what you do or desire that makes you feel good about you. It’s pretty simple for me, I typically do not get up […]
Fitness Friday
How do you feel Physically? Mentally? Emotionally? Spiritually? These are all connected and affect how we feel. In February I was mortified when I stepped on the scale and saw a number that I hadn’t seen since I was pregnant. I couldn’t believe my weight had crept up like that. It affected me in several […]
