Celebrating Life Today

Wow. Yesterday, I felt scattered and overwhelmed. And while I didn’t feel great, I actually got excited because I knew how good I would feel on the other side of it. I set intentions to release what I no longer needed and to get more settled in my body. And then I slept really well. When I woke up, I set intentions to slow down, enjoy the day, and celebrate!

So, here I am showing up to celebrate, and as I started my list of celebrations, I was blown away! I have truly manifested the life I began setting intentions for 5 years ago. If you had told me 6 years ago that I could accomplish all of this all at once, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. And yet here I am! What I ride! It feels so good to say that and know there’s still so much more life to live.

A year or two ago, I set intentions to be a guest speaker (on stages, on podcasts, in groups.) Today, I was a guest on HER with Peighton Woodard. Recently I was a guest on The Start Up Podcast with Christina McLoughlin and That Girl with Jackie Brubaker. I was also a guest speaker in a photographer’s group for mom’s led by Elizabeth Nord; a parenting success group called The Parenting Empowerment Movement led by Jennifer Murtaugh and Felicia Severhill; and a wellness group led by Melody Bradley, CECP.

I have known my entire life that I would publish at least one book with my name on it. Strong Mothers: More than a Survival Guide recently published and became a #1 Best Seller on Amazon in multiple categories. I was honored to write chapter 8 on post partum depression.

I am co-hosting a soul expansion retreat in Daytona Beach Florida in one month!!!! (There’s still a few spots left if you want to grab one!)

I launched my second photography business and have elopements and portrait sessions booked!

I booked a Tarot party for me to give Tarot readings!

I got to co-teach a Reiki Level I workshop this past weekend as a reiki master teacher intern, and it was POWERFUL.

I took a leap of faith and stepped fully into entrepreneurship. I recently launched a couple’s program called Reunited to help couples transform their marriage in 90 days. It’s powerful, and it’s literally me living my soul’s purpose.

Ahh, I almost forgot! I also broke 150 pounds, something I have only done 1 other time since high school. I was typically 152 for more than 10 years. And just less than three months ago, I was at my highest weight (162) since being pregnant. Most importantly, I did not feel my best. I feel SO much better now. I have a ton less inflammation in my body, and I am actually able to go to physical therapy monthly instead of bi-weekly (which I’ve done for the past 14 years!) because of it.

Finally, I am so excited about my relationships – with the Holy Spirit, myself, my guy, my kids, my mom, and all of my friends and supporters. If you took the time to read this and are cheering me on, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am truly in awe of how incredible life can be if I allow it.

Do I expect to keep up this pace? Probably not. But I am always up for a challenge! I already have new targets in motion, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. The biggest shift coming is in re-writing my money story. Wish me luck!

And Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
