This Is What Living Feels Like

Exactly one week ago I sat in this room packed with 1,500 other people waiting for an experience of a lifetime. Music blaring, lights glowing, and the excitement that you could literally feel from everyone who was there. It was electrifying. I still get butterflies when I think about how I sat there and watched my life on play-back...every single event, every single memory, experience, situation, feeling...to how I got to sit in that exact seat and wait for what was about to happen in the next 3 days.

I truly believe that nothing is coincidental. That every single thing has purpose, reason, and rhyme to it.

Everything is so meticulously calculated and planned...and that is all because of God. Nothing about last weekend was a mistake or an accident. And when you are able to step back, reflect, and see His work...there's no better feeling.

Smart Success far succeeded any expectations I ever had. As a loyal and loving fan of Chalene Johnson, I just knew in my heart that she would never disappoint. And to think that all of this started back in April of 2011, when I decided to start Turbo Fire. My fitness journey has taken me places I never expected. All because I said no more to my depression.

Lots and lots of dancing and lip syncing battles. Just CRAZY STUFF! Stuff that I would have never imagined...not even in my wildest of dreams. I seriously feel like I had one of THE best times of my life. Jeremy and I are wanting to make this a yearly goal. So if God-willing...we will be there again next year.

I walked out feeling like I got so much more than I ever invested. Most of all...I walked out feeling like I'm doing this for ME. For my family. My family and my marriage with Jeremy is my key priority. It sucks saying no and turning people down, but if it doesn't make my family happy, if it doesn't align with them, if it doesn't feel like God is asking this of me, if it doesn't make me happy...I will say no.

There was so much reflection done. So much of finding yourself and what you want your life to look like. I've never felt anything quite like that. The fact that I was able to experience all of this with my husband...I can just feel how much stronger our marriage has become because of the practices and education we learned. I learned what my key priority is and how to say no when it doesn't align with it.

Besides the amazing education, partnering with my partner and love of my life...we met some incredibly amazing people. Friendships were made that I know in my heart will last a lifetime. It's these moments that are what life is all about. I am truly in love with my life.

These last few days have been awakening. Moments, times, memories that I will keep so dear and true to my heart. Moments that Facebook and social media couldn't even do justice in sharing the indescribable feelings I experienced. Knowledge, faith, wisdom, friendships, tears, happiness. This is what living feels like. I've never felt more alive, more awake, more renewed, more love. I truly thank God for this incredible experience. One where I'll never be the same. One where I'm an even better person today than I was just days ago.

Here's to building my life...one brick at a time <3
