She is on a mission to help women become their best selves in all areas of their lives. To help them understand how to work out and more than that how to set-up their lives so they have the time to pursue the things that make them feel beautiful, strong, and fulfilled.
I Got Jokes - How To Crush It In The Kitchen
I aspire to be a published author. So much so that I keep a list of different book ideas. One book that I will definitely write is going to be a cookbook called - The Mom’s Guide To Crushing It In The Kitchen.

Do You Listen To Your Heart?
Over the last two years in my quest to become a healthier person, I’ve started to do just that. I have started to listen to what my feelings are trying to tell me. Instead of pretending that they are wayward, potentially homicidal hitchhikers I can’t even make eye contact with on the side of the road so I blow past them doing 140 mph.

If You Want The Rainbow, You Have To Put Up With The Rain - Dolly Parton
…the older I get the more I know if you are able to really take experiences in, even the crappy ones, especially the crappy ones, you will grow and come out the other side with more humanity and humility.

I had an epiphany a few months ago. It involved an open sleigh ride in the mountains and big horses and champagne.
For The Love Of Dog
It's National Dog Day. I've had this post on my mind for quite some time, but, been so busy, I haven't gotten to it. Blah, Blah, Blah. The TRUTH is that it's raw and real and a little scary for me to write this so that's why I've procrastinated.
