Cancer was happening, and cancer will tear your world up like a fucking tornado. It had arrived, announced itself, then tore through her world in a matter of 38 days leaving her sitting there in the wreckage. No time to think. No time to process. No time to make sense of it all.

Trust is a feeling. Trust is a foundation. Trust is being vulnerable. Trust is believing. Trust is knowing. When shared, trust is where the magic begins.

My first journal entries around manifesting were like muddy waters. I was focusing on what I didn’t want instead of what I did want. I was not clear in my vision or my ask to the Universe.

As a friend once said to me, the Universe does not do wishy-washy.

In November of 2018 when I moved into my own home, my two little loves and I talked about pitching a tent in the back yard for a night of camping. They had never slept in a tent and the idea of it sent them over the moon with joy.

We talked about back yard camping at least ten times since the idea was born.

Last night, 19 months and what feels like a lifetime later, we finally did it.

I am a better version of myself post-run because I took MY time. I went to my church. I showed up for my version of therapy. Ultimately, I showed up for my SELF.

“I have a dream, and so I’m sharing it here because maybe one of you amazing ladies can help make it a reality.”

Have you ever had a time in your life where your intuition spoke so loudly to you you had no choice but to answer with a HELL YES?!?! Have you ever felt yourself “diving in” head first based on that gut feeling?

Well here I am, diving in yet again to what feels so right to me…sharing my stories with the world with a vision of positively impacting as many of YOU as I possibly can around the globe.

Diving into this one life I get to live has taught me that I don’t always need to know what every step along the way will look like. I just need to be able to envision the final result…

I am waking up with this urge to remind YOU that wherever you are, no matter how dark and difficult it may feel, you CAN and you WILL find your way to the light.

I’ve learned in life that if someone wants to “mute me”, they’re not my people…The muted version of me is not the full ME. And if I have to be anyone other than THAT, it’s just not worth it.

When we compare ourselves to others, we rob ourselves of the gift of acknowledging and accepting and appreciating our own “stuff”.

I have learned in this life that I usually find myself sitting in the thickest of shit just before some kind of huge growth occurs.

I refuse to allow my inner flame to fade from a roaring inferno to a burning ember that fights to stay lit.

Please know, you are not alone in how you feel...and please know there are ways that YOU TOO can manage your feelings and take back your “control”.

Before I knew it, I was at mile 23.5.🙌🏻
I could taste the finish line...and the salt all over my lips. I could feel the crowds energy. I could almost hear the finish line roars.

And then it happened.

I felt something...in my belly.

I was taught once again by my very own child WHAT. REALLY. MATTERS.

This is a time to create...create new traditions, create our new normal, create new habits.

A few weeks ago, in the early evening, my kids were taking a tub, splashing around, laughing, and having fun. I walked into the bathroom to check on them and the floor was COVERED in water. I mean COVERED. Nearly the ENTIRE floor.

I lost my shit…

In December of 2018, after just deciding on a divorce, my then husband and I made the decision that we would take our little ones on a trip to Disney, TOGETHER, in February 2019.

You are only human. You are only one. You can not possibly tend to ALL the things that *need* tending to. You will fall down eventually. We all do…

Today I am sharing two of my daily mantras that help keep my mindset in check.
