Yesterday, I celebrated Mother’s Day a different way... I celebrated love, live, friendship and the joy all around me with my husband and our friends. In this last year, I have come to know more about how my Mamang loved me and have a different perspective. She didn’t start saying she loved me until I started saying the words to her in my 40’s. She showed me in her own love language, her concern and her food. She paid very particular attention to expressing her affection toward me in ways that I misinterpreted for years. She was a strict disciplinarian and her rigid approach to many things dimmed my spirit. She and Dad watched over us during our wedding in Maui twelve days ago. I wore Mamang’s jewelry during the ceremony. I could feel the joy of her spirit on the beach with us as Mitch and I exchanged our vows. Peace and grace filled my heart in that moment. I can’t change the past, however, I can learn, grow and become equipped with the tools be more aware of how different people express themselves. While watching our church’s Mother’s Day service 10pm replay, I had a good cry and pray that God finishes the work he started to use my life for Kingdom’s sake. Perfection is no longer my goal—rather, it’s daily progress. #mothersday #motherhood #memoriesofmom #progressvsperfection #acceptgrowcontribute #john14 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/COtVbjsD1xj/?igshid=cezl9746eorv

Day 68 “Change or remain the same.” Have you need that fitness meme, too? Coaches, fitness pro, and dieters alike use that to inspire change in their students. Who are you becoming? Life is a series of transformative experiences. Have you thought about how you would like to become better after this pandemic? How you have learned to adjust your environment: church family kids work food fitness I’m witness a lot of people pivot on a dime and others who look like they are stuck or worse still mourning their losses: freedom peace privacy income normal life I wonder what God is thinking about all of us right now...scurrying about the earth and not thinking what a game-changer His peace and freedom feels like for those who love Him. NEWS FLASH: Change is inevitable. It’s up to you what you serve: fear or faith. I choose faith daily. #summer90daychallenge #acceptgrowcontribute #2020socialsummer #buildingmybestme #championmindset #legacybuilder #faithoverfear #goaldigger #newgoals #legacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CE0p6OrDTdu/?igshid=38ks27om2ejs

Day 51 Accept. Grow. Contribute. OMGish! This week, my brain is so overwhelmed with opportunity that if you rung it, data would ooze out!🧠 It’s a good thing. I’m super excited to connect with my performance coach tomorrow and turn in my homework from this week! I am amazed at the progress I’ve seen from just a few weeks of his guidance. Gains I’ve made were not what you, a mostly fitness peeps and bodybuilders, are all thinking. Three Things... ✅Accept (want this want that; can’t control everything, no need to prove anything to anyone, really “get” people, if you don’t get them re-phrase back to them) ✅Grow (how can I grow from this experience, not why is this happening me, what is God have planned from this, we are part of nature) ✅Contribute (to others and greater good, lots of people are hoarders, meant to be givers, we are meant to be community) I shared this when I first learned it but these principles came up multiple times in conversation today. #summer90daychallenge #acceptgrowcontribute #2020socialsummer #buildingmybestme #championmindset #thrivethursday #legacybuilder #goaldigger #newgoals #legacy (at Wapato, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEI7or2jTit/?igshid=se7ykv3kzqn8

Day 39 “God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.” Me: Let me know if you want to revisit an opportunity to help others create the same results. It’s my passion to positively impact others in health and wellbeing. The best part of mentoring others is to be in the trenches along side them, guiding them even though we are still muddied up ourselves. My Friend: “Oh I know. But I want to have more to stand on than ‘the science says it works’...I know God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called. But I feel like I’m still in my qualification process.” His thoughtful response has been resonating with me, and made me pause this week. I’ve been trying to understand, unpack that word “qualify” for myself and how it’s connected to God’s call on my life and leadership development. In this season of shift, God has been calling me into a higher consciousness and awareness. In the corporate world, education level and experience qualifies an applicant for a job opportunity. What of Kingdom-centered entrepreneurs? I am meditating on this, seeking guidance from the word, excited to discover God’s plan in stirring my heart and for arresting my attention. #summer90daychallenge #acceptgrowcontribute #kingdomentreprenuer #2020socialsummer #buildingmybestme #championmindset #legacybuilder #goaldigger #flexfriday #newgoals #legacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CDp09NDDRJO/?igshid=jofllpy1x0p7

Day 24 (my favorite number) Let’s see your #FlexFriday! C’mon...be bold and courageous. Show us your guns! Today was a #muscleismagic kind of day. I woke up to a deeper understanding of what makes me tick. My performance coach taught me an empowering new practice, an exercise to help me deal with stress and feeling overwhelmed with stuff that life throws my way and move life forward in grace, peace, self-love and compassion. Three Things... ✅Accept (want this want that; can’t control everything, no need to prove anything to anyone, really “get” people, if you don’t get them re-phrase back to them) ✅Grow (how can I grow from this experience, not why is this happening me, what is God have planned from this, we are part of nature) ✅Contribute (to others and greater good, lots of people are hoarders, meant to be givers, we are meant to be community) Are you and your behaviors, perceptions or reactions in alignment with your true self, vision and plan God has in your life? #summer90daychallenge #acceptgrowcontribute #buildingmybestme #championmindset #legacybuilder #goaldigger #flexfriday #newgoals #legacy https://www.instagram.com/p/CDDVMDVDJoB/?igshid=159z03i5h2zq1
