It ALMOST Didn't Happen...

Today was a busy day. The kind of day where I HAD to set my alarm.  I know, right?  But having to set one's alarm when one is not working during the summer IS a drag.  Anyway, Luke needed to be at the golf course this morning for his junior golf league and that meant me trying to get kids up and at 'em which is so out of the routine right now.  We managed though.  Grace and I left Luke with his Grandpa at the golf course while we went errand running. After errands, Grace and I came home, cleaned carpets (as the cat is not feeling well--need I say more!), ate lunch, and waited for Grandpa to bring Luke home.  Then, it was off to eye examinations followed by haircuts and making dinner.  Once the kitchen was cleaned up, it was almost 8PM.  How does that happen????  And in the back of my mind ALL day was--I STILL need to exercise!!  By the time 8PM was upon me, I have to tell you all I really wanted to do was wash my face and put on my PJs.  But I remembered what I posted on Instagram today.  I am proud to say that I completed my 21 Day Fix Upper Body Fix workout and feel so much better for it!! It is amazing what we are capable of when we DECIDE to do something.  I WILL be STRONG!!

Why AM I Blogging??

I decided to begin my blog after listening to a very inspiring woman tell her story of finding her purpose and the "slight edge" that, in turn, has positively changed her life forever.  I thought, by documenting my journey, I would hold myself accountable to higher standard--a standard that I deserve to achieve and will continue to grow from!

A little about me:  I am a mom with two very awesome kids ages 11 and 13.  I am a speech-language pathologist in my local school district.  I love to exercise, read, bake, and share the baked goods with friends and family.  I enjoy my flower gardens of perennials-primarily day, asiatic, and oriental lilies. I tend to be very organized (others call is OCD) :).  I enjoy learning new things--especially how to inspire others to find their WHY and lead a life by design.

My Hope:  I want to help others learn that they are capable of doing more than they ever thought possible--especially in the area of health and fitness.  I believe, that with healthy minds and bodies, the rest of our lives can be so much more fulfilling!  You are able to love more, play more, and simply be more to everyone-- including yourself!!
