The way we’ve always done it…. The most dangerous phrase in the English language. So much of moving forward in life is unlearning and challenging limiting beliefs and habits that hold us back. Yet so many of us don’t even ask or look for a different way because it doesn’t dawn on us that there…
It’s Hard
Oh yes, if you choose to follow the dreams in your heart, your life will most definitely be hard. You will cry more than you ever knew was possible, feel alone more than ever, be heart broken continually and most days question why you choose to start down this path as you force yourself into…
The Disease to Please
Confession, I have been a people pleaser my entire life. I use to think if everyone liked me then bad things would not happen to me and that bad people would leave me alone. Nothing could be further from the truth. I discovered this truth late last year as I went through one of the…
It’s not about me…
“I believe we are here to learn and grow, and to become so abundant in belief in ourselves that we finally tap into the full potential of the greatness that is within us and share that greatness with the world.” – Jeff Olson, The Slight Edge. If you would have told me 5 years ago that…
If you don’t have anything nice to say…
I’m pretty sure everyone can finish that sentence. I find it very interesting that people waste so much time and energy bashing the things they do not agree with, instead of focusing on promoting what they do agree with. Especially online. People get behind their computer screens and forget that on the other side are…
Childhood Memories
Isn’t it strange that no matter how old we get, our childhood memories are the ones that remain so clear and continue to shape us? I was blessed with a wonderful childhood and am so grateful for those memories. Now as a parent, I am in charge of creating those for my children. That is…
Embrace the Struggle
When I was 2 years old, I was involved in a lawn mower accident that cut off the majority of my right foot and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! When it first happened, my parents were told that they would most likely be amputating my my entire foot. The medical…

Here’s a list of my favorite ideas from Pinterest research! They won’t even miss the traditional sugar-filled treats! Healthy Easter…
Living in Auto Pilot
This image came across my Facebook newsfeed today and I couldn’t help but think about how fortunate I am to have figured this out early in my adult life. My life was interrupted back in 2009 by a man that introduced me to a company and changed me forever. See at the age of 26,…

Drug Free Childbirth – 6 months later
YIKES!!! I remember seeing this image before both of my children were born and thinking who in their right mind would refuse to get an epidural? Never thought I would do it twice! After my first natural childbirth experience being so long and painful I thought a few times about getting the epidural. But at…
