what if my best isn’t good enough

Every single morning for the last 4 years one of the intentions I have written in my journal is Do Your Best!! The words Do Your Best is the 4th agreement in the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.  This  was a life changing book for me!  Seriously click the link and purchase it, I do not think you will regret it. It was the very first personal development/self-help book that I read and seriously took to heart.  I go back and read it every so often just for a refresher. When we kn...

Half the Woman I used to be….and yet soooo much MORE!

I am half the size I used to be....well actually less than half, and yet I am also sooo much more than I used to be.  In the photo on the left was May of 2012 when I was wearing size 26 shorts...and those shorts were so tight I needed to be in a 28.

Thankful Thursday – Mindset Shift

I started doing a Thankful Thursday post a few weeks ago on Facebook  but this week it is a bit more vulnerable and I thought I might actually begin doing my TTs as a Blog Post so that I could go back and reflect on them easier than scrolling through FB. Usually I have soo many things to be thankful for that I usually have a difficult time deciding on what to share.  This week though, I know what I want to share, but the difficult part is actually putting myself out in front of everyone a...
