SPONSORSHIP NOTE: I am proud to be an educator and consultant for Beautycounter, a B-Corp company on a mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone.   The lack of regulation in the personal care and cosmetic industry is astounding and it is harming our health in very serious ways.

I will not let my destruction be how people remember her. I will not let that be her legacy. And so, I decided to survive; survive and share her love and light with the world. Turn this tragedy into a love story.

Thank you! I've been trying to eat healthier the past couple of years and become a better me!  I am almost 40, my girls are teens now and have been doing a lot of soul searching on what the next half of my life is going to bring... So what keeps coming up is to be the best version of myself and help my girls to do the same, to be an inspiration to them that we can achieve anything we set our minds to.  I also have been searching for something to fill the emptiness from them growing up and not needing me as much! Like what is my purpose beyond being a wife & mom, because its been all about them up to this point!  So this past year has been a crazy ride on self discovery & personal growth!  I started a blog, immersed in personal development, journal, tried meditation, workout consistently, and stick to a clean eating healthier diet as much as I can.  Anyway basically that is what has led me to you!  In wanting to become more, I want to help other moms to feel better about themselves, etc.. I've struggled with my weight, confidence, body image issues, & insecurities all my life I would love to help others to never have the feelings that I've struggled with. Two mos. ago I became a Coach with beachbody, I am trying to help others become healthier, more fit, and generally just be happier! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
