Pardon my absence ... I’ve been busy. I’m trying to return the peace, and the harmony in my life ... but in order to do so, I’ve got some tidying up to do. If you’ve been following my IG for a while now, you’d know I’m a huge proponent of taking care of the mind, body, and soul a && this is part of that journey. In the mean time, I want to thank you for your patience. (I won’t be long.) . . . . . #selfcare #selflove #mind #body #spirit #mental #emotional #physical #harmony #peace #balance #nirvana #love #mindset #commitment #persistence #motivation #determination #findyourtribe #tidyingupwithmariekondo #tidyup #sparkjoy #livelifefully (at Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByET_-GnaH2/?igshid=dczzcowhajd

I build others up ... I don't tear others down! I have felt the pain of being torn down far too much, && because of this, I have decided I will be deliberate about building others up so they never have to experience the same! All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other, instead of building each other up. With all the negativity going around ... choose to be a positive influence on the world! I’m posting to not only remind myself, but all who see this as well, that you're an amazing person! Don’t forget it! 💗 . . . . #buildothersup #bethechange #positivity #motivation #inspiration #choosehappy #spreadkindness #spreadlove #givejoy #motivate #wakeup #morningcoffee #musings #deepthought #ponder #bethelight #shinebright #youcabdobetter #youcanbebetter #makethechoice #conscious #actionsspeaklouderthanwords #imjustsaying (at Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4usJLn6II/?igshid=gbwyx2ysjtvm

No way to make myself IG worthy 😂 I was a hot, sweaty mess, covered in colorful powder. But ... I DID IT with my #solsisters by my side 💗 . . . . . @elizabethnicole1618 @stephaniejoanna @jessaaldridge #thecolorrun #happiest5k #kalamazoo #michigan #finisher #medal #ididit #solesisters #lovemytribe #funtimes #goodvibes #goaldigger #goalcrusher (at Kalamazoo, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxoMKAHHaoy/?igshid=11daq8h6emlwq

Many days I struggle to get workouts in, but I know I have to start somewhere ... and this I choose to constantly push myself not to be sedentary by constantly moving during the day. It’s become a habit, and something I almost never think about nowadays. Admittedly, this month in particular has been STRESSFUL so I had to make conscious effort to move. && because I did, I now have a 5K, and a 66 mile challenge under my belt! Sometimes, all it takes is finding what motivates you, and you it to your advantage. For me, finisher medals help because to enter most races - you have to pay an entrance fee. I don’t know about you - but if I’m spending money, I want to get every cents worth - so this helps keep me accountable as I don’t have any workout/running buddies. My point is, the only way things change, is if YOU make a conscious effort to make that change - so get out there, and live your best life! You’ve got this! . . . . . @flexitpink @yesfitchallenges #unicornsquadrun #unicorns #flexitpunk #yesfit #historicroute66 #getitgirl #virtualrace #virtualchallenge #race #walk #run #crawl #onestepatatime #motivation #accountability #selfcare #makethechange #bethechange #5K #66miles #health #fitness #strength #courage #mindset #effort #doitforyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZU8sbny05/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=98n0lszx0wrn

Life ain’t always beautiful ... Sometimes it's just plain hard ... Life can knock you down. It can break your heart. But the struggles make me stronger ...

No filters, no edits, no makeup ... need my eyebrows done - but guess what?! Here’s the naked truth: I am who I am. I am beautifully, && wonderfully made. No amount of makeup or clothes can change that. I’m transparent, I’m vulnerable, and I’m real. I’m not for everyone, and that’s okay. #youdonthavetotry #youarebeautiful #justthewayyouare #naked #nofilter #honest #transparent #vunerable #thetruthalwayscomestolight #bereal #beyou #365selfies #day1of365 (at Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvSsCmSnBVe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nhdjavzj7a0p
