Day ???

I have no idea what day I'm in right now.  This whole car accident through me for a loop.  I'm still on the road to recovery.  I won't get back into the gym probably until next week.  Even then it will just be for cardio.  I won't lift for another week after that.  My body NEEDS this time to heal and rest and I am listening to it.

I lived and worked in Utah. I went on a mission to Honduras. I got married when I was 27. I had 3 of the most incredible children. I have lived through 39 operations in my life.  I have been blessed to work with so many incredible people. I have traveled the world. I have experienced great loss in my life of dear loved ones. I have created and owned a company about early detection where I was given the opportunity to travel the country and meet women from around the world. I have had depression. I have had illness. I allowed myself to get up to 300 lbs. I was blessed to win an incredible contest in January with The Fresh Diet.  I was blessed to start my weight loss journey 2 days after I buried my dear Grandma Belle. I have been blessed to eat healthy all these months. I have been blessed to exercise with one of the greatest trainers.

Day 206 - 9 days to go

9 days until I turn 40 and weigh in.  Oh my goodness!!!  These last few weeks have been the busiest, happiest, most joyful weeks of my life.  I am starting up a new company and it's just magical!  I can't wait to share it with the world.  We hope the website goes live in a few weeks and then I can talk all about it.  All I can say is that the creative process is miraculous and just unbelievable. I am so blessed in my life to be able to start up this corporation and hopefully share my vision, share my love, share my joy with everyone.  

My best friend Sara is coming in from Vegas next Friday with her little girl and I can't wait to have them here.  It's such a blessing to have friends that are eternal.  I am so grateful for all that i have been given.  Much love to you all this beautiful Fall day.

Words of Inspiration
"Most of you are afraid of your body. Your body feels like something that might trick you. It might get run over, or it might make the wrong decision, or it might die too early, or it might get a disease in it, or it might do something, after all, it has all kinds of mysteries. You can't look into your body. You can't see metabolism. You can't see what's happening with the cells. You don't really understand your body. And your body frightens you in most cases.

We would like to help you to know that your body is oh, so well meaning. Your body is so well orchestrated. You see, your body is trillions of cells that are vibrationally interacting with Source Energy. And if left to their own without a lot of static in your vibration, your body would only thrive. In other words, the basis of your body is one of true and utter thriving. It has no reason to frighten you. It is the greatest evidence of Well-being that exists anywhere in your physical experience. It is an extraordinary mechanism that's come together from great deliberate intent from so many Non-Physical and physical creators. And every one of you who stands in your body, continues to enhance the experience of the physical body. This is an evolution of a species that is extraordinary.

Your bodies are not to be feared. Your bodies are to be revered. Your bodies are to be applauded. Your bodies are to be maybe even amazed at. But they are never to be feared. Your bodies are not vulnerable. They're not fragile. They are resilient. They are flexible. You have the ability to come into alignment again and again and again, and if anyone in the Universe understands that, it's the cells of your body.

Befriending your body is the only way we know of coming to understand that your body is resilient and that it knows what to do, and that it will be whatever you ask it to be. But you have to ask it to be that in a place of nonresistance. It's the most significant information that we have ever expressed relative to your physical body and food. You must love your body, and then lovingly give it the food. And when you love your body and lovingly give it the food, it matters not what food you give it." ~Abraham Hicks~

Day 201 - 2 weeks to go

201 days! Can you believe it? I can't! What a blessing.  I'm so sorry I've taken a break from blogging. I'm in the middle of opening a company and it's taken all my time lately. But I'm back and I will blog as much as I can. I turn 40 in two weeks from today! I can't believe it! What a wonderful thing! I'm so excited for this birthday. I'm anxious to see if I've lost any weight these last few weeks. I feel like I have, but who knows! I am blessed to be back on track and to be moving forward at a very fast pace. It's all so exciting. I'm going to share a few words of inspirations that I've posted on Facebook lately. It's all amazing to read! Enjoy it! Much love to you all!


Words of Inspiration
Worthiness, in very simple terms, means, I have found a way to let the Energy reach me, the Energy that is natural, reach me. Worthiness, or unworthiness, is something that is pronounced upon you by you. You are the only one that can deem yourself worthy or unworthy. You are the only one who can love yourself into a state of allowing, or hate yourself in a state of disallowing. There is not something wrong with you, nor is there something wrong with one who is not loving you. You are all just, in the moment, practicing the art of not allowing, or the art of resisting. ~Abraham Hicks~


When you deliberately seek positive aspects of whatever you are giving your attention to, you, in a sense, tune your vibrational tuner to more positive aspects of everything. And, of course, you could tune yourself negatively as well. But as you are deliberately looking for positive aspects in yourself or in others, you will find more of those things: The better it gets, the better it gets, for you get more and more of what you are thinking about —whether you want it or not. ~Abraham-Hicks~


You don’t have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your vibration. It’s a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that don’t allow your cork to float or don’t allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are. ~Abraham Hicks~


Others cannot understand the vibrational content of your desires, and they cannot understand the vibrational content of where you are, so they are not in any way equipped to guide you. Even when they have the very best of intentions and want your absolute Well-Being, they do not know.
And even through many of them attempt to be unselfish, it is never possible for them to separate their desire for you from their own desire for themselves. ~Abraham Hicks~

Day 187 - 4 weeks to go

Words of Inspiration
"Inspiration comes forth from within. It's what the light burning within you is about, as opposed to motivation, which is doing it because if you don't do it, there will be negative repercussions. Motivation is making myself do something that I don't really want to do. Inspiration is having the clear picture of what I am wanting -- and letting Universal forces come into play to get the outcome."


This just sang to my soul as I read it and I HAD to share it.  I am constantly thinking to myself, "I am so grateful for the inspiration that is coming to me today."  Literally every single day, I say that mantra to myself.  Then I read this quote today and I just want to shout HOORAY, you're on the right path.  You are figuring this out.  You are doing what you have been brought here to do.  You are going in the right direction.  You are living downstream.  You are living in the now.  I am doing it!  I UNDERSTAND!!!  I'm so blessed.  I'm so grateful.  I am following my heart.  I am living my dream.  I am loving myself.  I am doing everything my heart tells me to do.  I am listening to my spirit.  I am listening to the inspiration that is constantly flowing to me.  I am blessed to hear it.  I am blessed to know when it comes.  I am blessed to feel this constant flow of joy and peace and goodness all around me.  YES, I AM BEING INSPIRED EVERYDAY!!!!  I'm blessed to have each of you in my life.  I hope as you read this message, you will be inspired.  You will FEEL my love for you.  You will gain inspiration that you are seeking.  Ask for inspiration, and it will be given to you.  Then act on that inspiration accordingly.  You will find miracles happen in your life.  Much love to you all on this gorgeous Fall day.  I just came back from a long walk outside.  I soaked up the sun and enjoyed the nature of this earth.  We are blessed to have such an incredible earth that gives us energy and power beyond words.  I pray you will continually be inspired!!!

Day 185 & Day 186

Words of Inspiration
"Action that is inspired from aligned thought is joyful action. Action that is offered from a place of contradicted thought is hard work that is not satisfying and does not yield good results. When you really feel like jumping into action, that is a clear sign that your vibration is pure and you are not offering contradicting thoughts to your own desire. When you are having a hard time making yourself do something, or when the action you offer does not produce the results you are seeking, it is always because you are offering thoughts in opposition to your desire." ~Abraham Hicks~


I have experienced this first hand, almost daily now.  I really look for inspiration in all that I do.  Every morning I wake up and ask for inspiration and I really follow my heart in all I do during the day and my days are literally filled with pure joy most of my days.  I am just HAPPY and filled with JOY all the time.  It's the most marvelous way to live life.  I know if I'm doing something and I feel joy and I feel happiness, then I'm in the FLOW of my life, moving downstream, but if I'm doing something and it makes me feel bad or feel like I shouldn't be doing this then I'm in a bad current desperately trying to paddle upstream.  So I choose the easy way, I choose to paddle downstream and let the river of life carry be downstream into pure joy and pure happiness.  Much love to you all on this amazing Fall day.  It's a FOOTBALL day for our family.  I hope you enjoy your family today and create eternal memories with them or with yourself!!!  Much love to you all!

Words of Inspiration
"As you are feeling positive emotion - such as love, peace, happiness, joy, excitement, exhilaration ... it is your Inner Being communicating to you in that moment that you are feeling the emotion - that your thoughts are in harmony with that which you are wanting, As you are experiencing negative emotion - such as fear or doubt, anger, hatred, jealousy, stress, guilt, anxiety .. it is a communication from your Inner Being telling you that in that moment - that which you are focused upon is not in harmony with what you are wanting." ~ABRAHAM-HICKS~
