The Rearview Mirror

The rearview mirror in our car is set up for us to check what’s going on behind us. By definition, a rearview mirror allows the driver to see the road behind them. When you think about it, it’s only meant for a quick glance, because you can’t drive forward while constantly looking back. As a […]

No More Excuses!!!

In the past sixty days, how many things have you accomplished that you said you would? One, two or zero things? I know life has been busy, but have you actively made an effort to achieve those goals on your list? Have you carved out time to focus on those goals? These questions are questions […]

The Small Wins

Many of you know that I have been on this journey of being healthy again! I had fallen off during dealing with grief and also my injury. Now that I’m physically stronger, I have really been working to turn things around with the foods that I eat and physical activity. You already know this journey […]

On Purpose

Anytime I send my husband a message before work telling him to have a wonderful day, I always include “on purpose”. It’s something that I started doing intentionally, because I know how stressful his job can be sometimes. I too, understand how having a high demanding job can affect you. I want him to be […]

You said what???

What do you say when speaking about yourself? I know personally, I can be highly critical of myself. If we’re being honest most of can be. We don’t go around saying how wonderful we are.

Finding Your Strength

There is nothing like finding your strength when you thought you had none left! I remember going through some of the most unimaginable things and thinking I was never going to make it through them! I would think to myself, “There is no possible way, I can survive this!”. Maybe it was a failed relationship […]

Stand Up!!!

Girl, stand up! That’s what I had to tell myself! With so much going on, I literally felt like I was drowning! I was letting all that was wrong consume me! When I did that, it kept me stuck in a place that I saw no way out of. Like everything and everyone was moving, […]

Even the little bit counts

After having surgery on my foot, my doctor recommended that I do some physical therapy. The first few weeks someone would come to the house and spend about 30-45 minutes with me. At this point, I could barely do the exercises they wanted me to do. My body was so weak, so they would have […]
