A little self care to start off Christmas Eve! Detoxing the body and mind with my girls and opening myself up to all the love and goodness this day has to offer is where it’s at for me today. I’m ready to light my light shine! Let’s fill this day up with as much love and goodness that we possibly can. Love you, love others and let your light shine, baby!

Love this. YOU are the authoritative knowledge on your own life. If someone seeks to steal your worth and value from you, take it back and claim it. One amazing step at a time. Your life. Your right. Your amazing, beautiful story.

Keep shining your light. When it’s hard. When you just don’t wanna. When you feel like you’re not good enough.

Your life transforms before your very eyes by choosing a positive, abundant reality — even in the midst of uncertainly and hardship. A glorious life is possible.

Shining your light is the antidote to a lack of hope. Shining your light cultivates gratitude and inspires your best self to flourish. Shining your light is how you claim love over fear. Let that glorious sparkle unleash, my friends, and watch the magic unfold.

I’m bringing it again today. My story. It’s on the table and my heart is a wide open book. This journey of surrender stirs so many emotions within me. It makes my heart beat fast. It’s vulnerable and it’s raw. It’s me being fully real and fully raw.

The tumult of having my life shatter in front of me and then picking up the pieces one at a time has rocked my world. It’s also allowed me to build a beautiful mosaic that is full of textures and colors and creativity that would never be there had I not gone through the process of being broken.

If you want to learn more, keep your eyes peeled for my article in Grand Traverse Woman Magazine in January and come hear me speak at the luncheon on February 13th. Both the article and talk are two in depth spins on how I have rebuilt my life into something so filled with love, goodness and many amazing adventures. I invite you to share in my journey of transformation and offer you all of the abundance for your own journey as well.

Living our best life is about believing it is possible—even when we can’t see what we desire yet. I’ve found this to be absolutely crucial on my own road. What started as a story of limitation is now a story of hope, faith, perseverance. There is a new story. And it’s all mine. And it’s BLESSED.

To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all - but to believe in the unseen is a triumph and a blessing. -Abraham Lincoln

My sweet little one came home early from school with a stomach bug and we cuddled, turned on the Christmas tree lights and lit cozy candles. Sweaters and snuggles kicked off our day. We have been wrapping it up with amazing food (gotta love sautéed crimini mushrooms and basil, salmon, green beans and handmade bread). A compassionate brother, a little wine paired with Christmas movies and a French bulldog sitting at our feet topped off the night. When things get too fast, sometimes life throws a wrench in the plan and reminds you to live #yourbestlife now. I wish each one of you the gift of choosing a little #hygge and a lot of intentional #coziness — hug those you love and show yourself and them that you care. A little love and intention goes a long way. Feeding our body and heart with the good stuff is #therapy in itself. #cheers to #fridaynight !
