This jewelry is not your ordinary jewelry! Years ago my girlfriend had bought me a necklace from The Giving Key, and I have not taken it off.
Well correction, I HAVE in fact taken it off my neck to place it around someone else's neck who needed it more than I did at the time.

You are exactly where you are meant to be! That is the truth, you can either decide to embrace that or fight it. But the truth is we are not really the ones in control. We plan and we strive but ultimately we HAVE to trust the journey and for me I trust in God with all my heart! Whatever it is, believe in something. Believe that the only thing we CAN control is how we react to the circumstances and people in our life and it doesn't always run smoothly over the course, but then again you already knew that!  

I don't know about you guys but when I think about lemons, they make me happy. Even though they are sour, they remind me of summer and they just seem like a happy refreshing fruit! 

Coconut Oil...... If you went into every room in our house you would be like....WHY is there Coconut Oil tubs everywhere? This is why!

Once again we are just trying to keep it busy, creative and fun over here during these winter months! Having three kids under eight is sometimes hard to find something they all love to do. These two activities were a hit with all three of them!

I must say January started off pretty strong for me with winning a kickboxing match on January 9th! It was a pretty awesome feeling to start the New Year off strong! Even though 2 days later I ended up with a blood clot. I am going to include my article I wrote mostly for awareness!!!! I am here to tell you to never give up on your dreams as an individual, a wife, mother, employee etc. Whatever you are to others and whoever you are to yourself...NEVER forget about you!!! Do not push yourself aside. We do that too often through out the days of the week and the months for everyone else around us.

Kickboxing is my passion , my outlet...what is yours?????? Embrace it and yell it until you feel that voice gets heard by your soul. When YOUR tank is filled, and you can continue to fill up others with an internal energy!

I am going to walk you through a day of meal choices I make for myself when I prepare at home and am in a pinch while out and about!

How do you find time for your passions? I would really like to know! Passions and hobbies are two different things.

It is not a surprise how much I love the sport kickboxing. How much I love to train hard. Those that know me know that training and working out hard is what I love to do aside from my family. It is my therapy and outlet.

 I do not know where most of you live, but here in Illinois it has been a boring winter. I am not one for the cold, but if it IS going to be winter I at least wish it would snow more for a little change of scenery and fun!!!
