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.

How To Become A #Girlboss

It's amazing how fast time can pass by without you even fully realizing it. It's also incredible to see how much can change over the course of time...whether it's a short amount or not. Today marks 3 years since I first discovered Beachbody's coaching opportunity. Beachbody changed my life the year before when I first started my fitness journey in April of 2011. I had been praying for some relief and help to overcome my terrible post-partum depression. And after seeing the Turbo Fire infomercial so many times...I felt this was my answer. Since then, I have fallen more and more in love with this company, what it represents, and its mission...especially with what it has done for me and many others in my life.

How Much Sun Do I Need?

So, I know that probably sounds like an odd question to ask. But in all seriousness, how much sun do you get? Do you get sun daily, weekly, once in a while, or seldom? For me, it is seldom...or at least it was. And even that's funny to admit, because I live in sunny Arizona! But the reality is, I didn't and sometimes still do not get enough sun.

There were times where I'd go weeks without getting sun, but often times it was days. I am a stay-at-home mom and Aiden and I stay inside the house for 5 days a week. We work out and have activity play inside...so that wasn't really an issue.

Do You Want A Fresh Start?

As my husband and I are sitting in church, waiting for service to start...I can't help but have a million ideas spruce up in my mind. This actually tends to happen every Sunday. God and I share some alone and personal time and I talk and thank Him for all of the work that He has done in my life recently. I share some ideas and goals with Him and ask for His guidance. There are times that I have no idea what God is planning for me next and then BAM! A dream and new idea is born.

All It Takes Is A Little Sparkle

Faith can be a tricky thing. And for some, they aren't exactly sure what or whom to place their faith in. I know, I have had my moments of struggle. There were times of doubt and insecurity...and the not being able to understand, "why this was happening to me?" It's definitely not the easiest thing to admit, but I know we have all thought and felt that at least once in our lives.
