Hello There!

Hello and Happy New Year!! Even a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. This is the first step in my journey. For years I wanted to have a blog to have an outlet for all this that goes on inside my head. I think I signed up for a WordPress account 3 years ago and absolutely nada. So here we are finally doing the darn thing!

During that three year time period, I also got my personal trainer certification and health coaching training. Did I do anything with them? No! I longed to share my knowledge and support other women to live their best life. I had all these great plans and ideas but something kept holding me back.

What held me back?? Fear. Fear over what people would say. Fear of people judging. What if there were errors in what I wrote? Not an English major. People might think or say “Who does she think she is doing x,y &z?” What if people disagreed with what I wrote? Would I be able to handle it if people made ugly comments? And, the list goes on and on.

Then last year, after a random series of events and reading some amazing books, I really realized how short life can be. Then I started having different questions and a different kind of fear. Am I living up to my full potential or just being mediocre? How does this affect others around me? When I meet God and he asks me if I lived my best life and used all the talents He has given me, will I be able to say yes? The answers to those questions scared me a little more than the first ones.

I love picking out a word or two for each year and to really embrace it. My word for 2018 was Breakthrough. I wanted to breakthrough the fear that was holding me back. Daily talks with God and studying the bible really helped ease my fears and give me an inner peace. I went on my first mission trip to Belize and that was a huge breakthrough trip for me on many levels. For 2019, I have chosen two words. Passion & Purpose. My goal is to inspire others (even if it is just one person) to find their purpose and do what they are passionate about to create a no regrets life!

Cheers to 2019! Let’s live our best life!
