"Give credit where credit is due" Books that changed my life Pt 1. The Miracle Morning by @hal_elrod As someone who dedicates their life to something they believe in, in an effort to help someone else, I know it's not always easy in a world where it seems most people either don't care, understand or care to understand. But I also know in order to do it you have to have that mindset that "if it just helps one person" its worth it. And while I know I'm not the only person I am 1 person and I am so thankful for the skills I learned and guidance I received reading this book. I NEEDED it. As someone who grew up without a father and went through so much, I never had a role model to inspire or encourage the belief in my ability to actually make MY DREAMS (NOT the traditional way of life) come true, this book was a lifeline and still one of my top 5 favorite books today. As an Author and Mompreneur today I can only hope to have an impact on lives through my work and my words like yours have on me. 5 years ago I purchased The Miracle Morning thinking it would help me reach my goals in my first network marketing business, instead it helped me lay the foundation I would need to make my dreams of being an Author, and Designing a life of FREEDOM, a reality. The routine is a non negotiable way of life for me, it's my self care. The toughest, best sort of discipline and im so thankful you continue to choose to NOT GIVE UP and lead the way. Hey, "The biggest adventure you can ever take, is to live the life of your dreams." Right? Well I love adventure and And I'M JUST GETTING STARTED !

Thank you to everyone for your support of my new book Little Lady. If someone had asked me when I was younger what was my wildest dream, that climb a ladder to the moon, impossible, unimaginable, be, do or have type dream. I would have said, "I want to be an author and a speaker! I want to share my story and help others so they don't have to feel the way I have. I want to show them that no matter what, they can still make their dreams come true." I never would have imagined that the hardest part of achieving the dream wouldn't be the writing of the book or starting of the business. It was the person I'd have to become in the process. People don't just achieve dreams, they become the person who achieves the dream. And that's why most dreams die. Because it's hard. And noone will do it for you. We've all heard when you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. But I don't agree. Because when you love what you do. You'll WANT to work everyday of your life. And that's where the freedom is. Remember there's two truths in business... Very few people start from something and you can't beat a person that doesn't give up. So don't give up. 2017 I said I was going to have my own home, start my own business and brand. I said I'd be an author, we'd be a full time family and I was going to be a millionaire. I had no idea how any of this would happen but I knew I was TIRED of struggling. Tired of feeling like I was just trying to survive another day. Tired of the same thing day in and day out. Something had to change. But that something was me. Now I've checked all those off but this year I check the last two. The best thing I ever did was join a group of people that wanted to help me get healthy and make some money. Now all l want to know is WHO WANTS TO GO WITH ME? "SHES BIG, SHES BOLD, SHES BRIGHT AND FILLED WITH LOTS OF MIGHT" #shesyou If you haven't gotten your copy yet Little Lady is available Amazon, Kindle, Barnes and Noble, on my website and more Link in bio #dolifedifferently #mindfulmonday #mindset #millionairemindset #Mompreneur #author #leadersgonnalead #thankful #dreamersgonnadream #healthandwellness #fitwithin #revival (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CajA_YQgbFL/?utm_medium=tumblr

5 years ago we had picked up and moved all the way to NC. We had no idea what life would be like but we were excited for the adventure. Been married a year and a new baby to add to the 2, who knew that when we said we would have a great marriage that it was something that wouldnt just happen and we would be tested in many ways. We lived in that rental that had the WORST ant problem with 2 old vehicles and we didn't care because we started dreaming. We knew it was only temporary. If we could just be happy now, the THEN would come. So many times I thought I was crazy, questioned why I somehow always chose the harder path. Was it worth it. Could I really do it? Could I really be the person I dreamed of? Could I really live a life that only existed as an escape of the world. 5 years later and we haven't even arrived. But I've finally gotten to the point where I can share what I've done with the world. Healthy and strong enough to lead the way for others. People would say wow it's taken you 5 years, yeah 5 years..... 5 years of living my life my way. 5 years of watching my children grow and being there for them when they need me. 5 years of building a solid foundation for my family because I wanted to be like the wise man and build my house on the rock! I knew it would be harder. I knew it would take longer. But I knew if I stayed focused I'd get there because He said so. And you know what, the days were long yes, but the years, they were short. All I hope to do is show you that it doesn't matter. None of IT matters. If you are alive and breathing your day is a gift. You get to chose how you spend it!! And if I could give you some advice I would say spend it on the things that matter with the people that are going where you want to go. ... because the ones that are where they want to be aren't going to care if you get where you want to go. Oh and don't be afraid of new starts. Because you're not starting over, your starting with experience. ✌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 HEBREWS 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped hoped for the evidence of the unseen. . . . . #1 #dolifedifferently #ootd #praise #5years #thankful #growthmindset #adventure #farmhouse (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWNHSRr6kX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Aubrey has been wanting a cat for years and I wanted her to habe one considering she's the only girl, they teach responsibility, and are fun. But she ALLERGIC so this gorgeous little guy Fabio was our next best choice. They're easy to care for, hardy and healthy animals, are great for kids and even purr too 😀 Apparently it's illegal in Switzerland to own only 1 guinea pig so who am I to disagree. That being said don't tell Paul but our pig has a new friend..... That also being said, if anyone wants gorgeous long haired piggies I'll see ya in 2 to 3 months 😉 #dolifedifferently #happinessishomemade #Mompreneur #Friday #Friyay #freedom #adventure #fun #guineapigs #love #littlegirl #momlife #momof4 #happinessis https://www.instagram.com/p/CV59n0PrBt8/?utm_medium=tumblr

He is faithful ♡ People think living their dream is WHEN I get there I'll, WHEN I make $ I'll, WHEN I do this I'll, I'll be good enough WHEN, I'll be happy WHEN, When, when, when. But God says, be THANKFUL now and BELIEVE in the dream. Because the journey IS THE DREAM. ♡♡ . . . . . . #dolifedifferently #uptoyou #fyp #you #boymom #Mompreneur #freedom #freestyle #thursdaythoughts #believe #thursdayvibes #purpose #listenup #smiles #igdaily #listenup #unmasked #momlife (at Fort Pierce, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT4cp6CA6hX/?utm_medium=tumblr

The first step in creating a life you love, the most valuable to my journey and something I continually practice everyday. Not everyone or everything deserves a seat at your table. Decluttering helps you take control of your home, your life and your well being. #tossitout #dolifedifferently #monday #mompreneur #unmasked #truth #momof4 #nottodaysatan #outwiththeoldinwiththenew #mindset #minimalism #quoteoftheday #igtruth (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSqBvjVgV7O/?utm_medium=tumblr

How can it be.... summer flew by and here's the start of kindergarten, 4th and 5th grade. Our PTA put on a boohoo woo-hoo and if you wonder which I'm doing, the lack of pictures of me should be a clear answer. 😭😭😭😭 The last 5 years have had its challenges. I chose to do life differently than most, but one thing is for sure, I'll never regret the time I've spent with him. ♡♡ Everetts sad too 😝 #mompreneur #dolifedifferently #kindergarten #boohoo (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSe4oBfrcr3/?utm_medium=tumblr
