Blessed

November 5, 2018
I know, I've once again disappeared from my website. Things have been a whirlwind. I competed recently and won my class, gained more clients, and also opened up a new training studio called Brave Training. Its a private studio for clients, boot camps and recovery yoga. So needless to say that has been an under taking on its own. However, I've had so much support and love from everyone and I'm going to do my best to make this place special. I want this to be a safe place for clients and friends to come to even if they just need to talk. Sometimes fitness isn't just physical. I will also be doing my competition training and suits from this studio as well. Its exciting and scary at the same time.  I know this blog is short but there are more updates to come!

Absentee

September 4, 2018
Ugh, life has gotten crazy and I've picked up more online and one on one clients; before I knew it, once again, I had neglected this portion of my website. My schedule is pretty packed on the daily and it's great! I never thought I'd be able to live my dream like this but I am and I only plan on growing. I am more than blessed and I often wonder why, I do not deserve all the blessings I've received but I am more grateful than I can express.  I don't want to keep neglecting this blog so I'm go...

Being My Own Boss

July 8, 2018
I often wonder where my life is headed. Currently I am my own boss, which is scary and rewarding all at the same time. I have a sense of freedom that I've never experienced being an employee before but I also am not guaranteed paycheck either. While business is good that could quickly change since I provide a service and not a good. My services are not immediate nor easily achieved. Although I have fears I also feel that I am being lead down this path more and more every day. Some doors are c...

Spiritual Deficiency???

June 16, 2018
It has become clear that society, social media in particular, has given us a dreamed up happiness. Things portrayed are not always what they seem. Nothing is guaranteed to bring happiness, yet we pursue it. Is happiness a delusion? To me, the human spirit is an integral part of every human. The body makes its needs and wants known with hunter, sex, pain, stress (good and bad) and emotions. The spirit is not that easy to describe. We cannot see or touch it, it is not tangible, yet my belief is...

Relationships

June 12, 2018
Where to start on this one?!?! I'm not just talking about love relationships but also family and friends as well. Relationships in general are hard and lord knows I've damaged some and taken care of others. I've had my fair share of faults in love, disagreements with family and also been a good and bad friend at times. One thing I've learned is ALL relationships take work and effort, effort on both ends. Effort means you can be the giver and the receiver. It also means that all the work shoul...

Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do Can Do It For Me

June 10, 2018
Some days I feel like I'm Headed down the right path and other days I ask myself "what the hell am I doing". Shouldn't I know by now? Am I not on the right path? Where did I go wrong? What direction am I suppose to be on? And the list could go on and on! I highly doubt that I am the only adult that feels this way. Never did I expect to be my age and still be confused about my path but that's the case. I'm sure it is for many others as well. One thing I have learned is that IT'S OKAY! I don't ...

Where did I go for 5 years!

June 3, 2018
So I admit I let life get the best of me and I stopped working on this page, although now I wish I had not. I had worked hard in the beginning to build my brand but one life event after another seemed to keep throwing curve balls my way. All I can say is now I am back. So for a life update I'll give the condensed version; I've been divorced, dealt with alcohol abuse due to depression (self medicating), started a new relationship, had several family deaths, moved to Las Vegas and then back to ...

Makers, Fakers, & Takers

October 21, 2013

Are you the giver in many of the relationships you are in? 

Do you find yourself giving to others to the point of depletion? Is food the friend that doesn’t ask anything of you?

Using food to cope can be triggered for a many reasons, but a common thread when food becomes your best friend is loneliness. Support is a great antidote for feeling alone:  The power of support can help you recommit of yourself and your path to health when you hit the wall and just can’t come through for you.

Many w...

Then & Now

October 19, 2013
As I sit here alone with nothing but the sound of my AC running I've started to reflect on the past year. This time last year I was about 2 months into my off-season and wondering if I was really going to be able to do this meal plan and training plan. I knew to build muscle and make my self better physically I would have to eat more and gain weight but I didn't realize how much it would effect me mentally. I felt full all the time but I knowing and trusting my plan I continued to eat sometim...

Getting Back In A Routine

October 14, 2013
So while I've been away from my site updates I had thrown myself into full competition prep mode. I was giving this prep my all physically but mentally I was in a different state. I've had a lot going on in my personal life that put a major stress on me and I ended up losing weight more quickly than expected. My original goal was to compete at KY Muscle but I ended up being ready early due to the weight loss. So two weeks before the Music City Muscle I entered. Needless to say to my shock and...
