​I JUST ADULTED SO HARD y’all!
It’s officially official....I am an AFPA certified Personal Trainer! It’s taken since January but I finally did it. That’s three certifications completed in less than 12 months - Reiki Master, Kickboxing Instructor, and Personal Trainer. 
Now the real fun and work begins in empowering others to spark their confidence and passions! 
I’m not gonna lie - this shizz wasn’t easy, no sir. I even threw in the towel in July and thought I couldn’t finish even though I was so close. Then I remembered all the other tough battles that haven’t stopped me yet and I opened those books back up and BAM...I did it, I really did it. 
Best advice from this busy, 40 yr old mama, who’s lost 100 lbs, runs two businesses, and has overcome MANY health obstacles:
Don’t give up
Follow your passion
Get your support team together
Choose one small thing a day to work towards your dream
Small steps are better than no steps at all
It’s NEVER too late to start!
ALWAYS stay hydrated

​It’s happening! It’s really happening y’all!! 
Check out this behind the scenes tour of my dream business reaching new heights! 
STAY TUNED!! I’m just getting this kickboxing train started! I’m going to be sharing all kinds of workout videos, tips, recommendations - you tell me what you want help with and I will do my best to empower you! 
I’ve lost 100 lbs, just turned 40, went from being told I couldn’t have children to being a busy homeschooling mama to two amazing kiddos, own my own business, help my husband with his, have pins and plate in my back and foot, fight auto immune disease. No battle has stopped me yet!

​GET IT IN, where it fits in! Fitting in exercise can be super tough with kids and the crazy busy life that most of us are navigating.
Here are my top 8 ways you can get more movement/exercise into your day:
1. Sneak in extra movement. Yes, it may be tough but carve out 3-5 minutes throughout the day. It adds up fast and all counts as progress!
2. Trade workout times with a spouse or friend.
3. Try a workout video so there’s no need to shuffle the kids to childcare to go to the gym.
4. Workout in the morning before kids are up so you can get your sweat on uninterrupted.
5. Aim for shorter but higher impact workouts.
6. Utilize a jogging stroller. Take it on the road - literally!
7. Dance party - all by yourself or get the kiddos involved!
8. Make it a date. Maybe you and your spouse can make moving your body your new date night - hike, the gym, dance lessons, the sky’s the limit!

​Say it, sing it, pray it! It’s time to make it rain! Calling all warriors of the Light to circle up! The Mother is burning and she needs to HEAR our prayers. We must call on the element of water to bring rain. My heart was up all night chanting for this sweet nectar to fall from the sky and all I could hear back was “louder. gather more.” We’ve made it rain before and I know we can do it again.
Here’s a video of how I preform a rain chant so any that would like can participate. I am also going to be at the end of Pecho Rd in Los Osos at 5pm TONIGHT (Friday) for anyone that would like to join me. We will maintain social distancing protocols.
Sisters, Brothers, Children - all are welcome! It will not take long at all - 15-30 mins. Invite others who will help us raise our vibrations and prayers even higher.

​I love you. Yes, YOU! No, really I do. I really truly do. If you are watching this and reading this then I know you were meant to receive my love.
Today, I choose love. Today, I chose to claim it as the best day of my life. Why? Because I am alive. I am well. I am loved by others but most importantly I am loved by myself.
I’ll honestly say that it has been extremely hard to love myself at times, too many times. “Am I worthy? Who am I to x,y,z? But what if....? Remember that time...?”
How do we shift this dialogue? How do we step into UNCONDITIONAL love for ourselves? Think of yourself as sweet hummingbird. Imagine all the negative thoughts about self or otherwise are poison. Imagine all loving thoughts are sweet nectar. Are you going to ingest the poison or the nectar? @donjoseruiz
Am I worthy? YES, unconditionally.
Who am I to x,y,z? You are the child of God who made you in His image. If you aren’t the one, then who?
But what if...? Yes, what if...it turns out even better than any scenario you have thought of or planned. What if your plan and purpose are bigger and better than anything you can imagine? It is true. You just have to choose it. You have to see it.
But remember that time...? Yes, remember that time! Always remember that time. Remember the teachings, the wisdom, the growth, and the strength that you now possess because of that time.
So, yes, I love you. I love you because I can love me. I am me. We are we. Together we will always be.

This song was gifted and shared with me and it is my honor to share it with you all. May it bring you what it is you need in this moment. ​

​Beyond stoked and blessed that a skill my mama passed to me and her mama passed to her has helped myself, my family, my friends, and community.
I’m SUPER excited to announce that you can now pick up my masks from local businesses! Check out
Sweet Offerings Confections
in Cambria,
Bottle Liquor
in Morro Bay, and coming soon to
Smoobage
in Morro Bay.
I am still selling them through my website but there is a 3-5 day wait before shipping or pickup. If you need one ASAP, these businesses are all fantastic options!
Stay safe, stay healthy - in whatever way or manner you feel is best for your family. Big love to everyone who’s doing their best in these unique times we are wading through together.

I took a break from sewing face masks to sell and donate to try
​the #tpkickchallenge and totally nailed it!
