Wondrous Woman Wednesday - Alynn Mortensen

Today I get to Shout out Alynn Mortensen, we met through a political campaign in early NOVEMBER, but Right away something stood out to me about her and I wanted to be her friends, so I reached out and introduced myself. I felt like we hit it off well, and over the past several months we have become friends. Well I am Honored to have the Opportunity to SHOUT HER OUT to you all Today!!!

* Just in the in the short 7 months that I have begun building a relationship with Alynn she has Shown how Strong, Kind Hearted, and Capable she is, she such an Example to others of how women should Treat themselves and each other, there is Far to much bashing and belittling going on, we need More women like Alynn to Stop that through their Example and LOVE.




* This Woman is Incredibly Passionate about being a MOM, Wife, Sister, Daughter, she LOVES her Family Dearly and her life certainly shows it as her days revolve around Serving them. “I am proud of the children I have raised. They are hard workers they are kind and polite. They know Who They Are and where they came from.” 
~Alynn M. 











* Through her Younique Buisness she has been able to gain confidence that in her self, and then passed that on to her Team and Customer base. A Confident Woman is Radiant and can do so much GOOD in the world. And I Watch her do just that, Always doing Good for others. When she started her Younique business she was presenter #27 which means they were a brand new company and had nothing to go off. They had to Learn and Create the training's as they went. 







* She also overcame her Fears and trained and certified as a Realtor. She Adores Helping people purchase their Very First home, or sell a home to down size once the kiddos are gone. But she pays attention to Detail & Serves her clients beautifully, while also assisting her family with income.

* And Talk about an Incredible “Come Back Team”, together her and her hubby fought to get back on solid ground after losing their home and his job, and all the stresses that go with that. But it has made them stronger in many ways as a family. "It was a reminder of what was really important, which is the People in our lives NOT our accumulation of Stuff." ~ Alynn M. 

I know this is only a Small scope of the AWE that this Wondrous Woman holds, BUT I wanted to Shout Her out so that YOU can all see a Glimpse into the Life of another Incredible Human that I get to call Friend.

If you have a friend YOU would Like to Refer and have me SHOUT OUT, Please send me a message, leave a comment, find me on FB. JUST Let me KNOW that your Friend Deserves or Could USE the Spot Light. 

The Week I Crawled Through HELL!

Monday evening I noticed (what I thought was a cold sore) pop up  on my bottom lip. My first thought was "Oh man the stress from this past weekend is catching up with me, better nip this in the bud now." I went and applied some pure Melissa e.o. on it right away, figured by morning it would be nearly gone.

OH If Only that it were that simple. NOPE it wasn't GOD had something for me to Learn, something for my family to learn and I woke up to find half my lips and chin covered with impetigo!!!

If you aren't sure what that is, Impetigo is a Bacterial Infection caused by a cross between the Strep and Staph bacteria strains. It eats your face and blisters and oozes and scabs and burns and stings and itches and LOOKS Horrendous all wrapped into 1.

Tuesday morning, kinda hard to see it still, but I could sure Feel it. 

So I went to the Dr. usually I 90% of the time cure things with natural remedies, but what a lot of you aren't aware of is that I actually had a break out of impetigo on my ears just 4 weeks ago and it lasted for 2 full weeks, with me trying my best to throw Natural Remedies at it I thought I had finally won.

Wednesday morning after I thought it was just a cold sore . 

Well I guess I hadn't and it decided with the perfect Storm of Stress, Anxiety, Parenting, and Marriage Issue it was a GREAT Time to attack my Face.

So the P.A. gave me a topical cream, and after another 24 hours of it spreading rapidly and hurting horrifically (I couldn't even open my mouth to talk at this point it was so swollen closed) my hubby had the P.A. call in an oral Antibiotic, which should have been Helpful; but was not because just the next morning I began taking Lysine (I had close to 20 people recommend I pop it like candy, and it ought to help.) which I had a awful allergic reaction too on TOP of my Already miserable symptoms from the impetigo.

Now it's Saturday night and I am in so much pain I just can't even bare it, I only got 3 hours of broken sleep and was suffering at about an 8/10 on a pain scale (the only time I've experienced was 10 being in full blown Labor) so you can imagine an 8 was still Terrible. Sunday Morning I head into a different quick care and my hubby had to do all the talking and answering questions as I couldn't even open my mouth, it was scabbed over and hurt each time I tried. He explained to the PA what had been going on and the PA administer a different Antibiotic (just in case it was that one that I was allergic too, I hadn't yet figured out it was the Lysine) and Steroids. Then he also took a sample to Culture so we can know for sure what this was. Should be getting that culture result back today.




The next morning the allergic reaction continued and had worsened (although the spread of the impetigo had stopped, thank Goodness) so I went BACK to the PA we saw on Sunday and he then got me a script for an antihistamine to Relieve the Reaction to Lysine. By the end of the day Monday I felt SO Much better, FINALLY things were working and I was on the mend.

Today I woke up and felt So Much Better, I finally got a wonderful Nights sleep, and had Some Energy to Clean the House, Sanitize Everything that I had been using or touched, Washed, Dried and put my bed sheets back on. Vacuumed my bedroom floor, and EVEN Got in a 15 minute Good and Sweaty Workout.

Gosh That Felt GOOD!!!  

Often times we do NOT realize JUST how important our Health is until we experience something to this extent. And often times we DO NOT Turn it over to the LORD like we should either until we experience things that ONLY he can Cure.








My Husband was the MAN through most of this ordeal and kept his cool, made the meals, kept the house in order, the kids alive, and me tended too. LAYNE I really Sincerely appreciate all the SERVICE you performed for me this past week, I couldn't have gone at it alone.






MY Team of Co workers Totally Stepped up and filled in where I couldn't and I was so proud of them and their efforts too. I LOVE that I have a Team of Women who were Praying for me, Cared enough to check in and ask how I was doing, and Supported my clients while I couldn't. I am Telling you Beachbody is SO MUCH MORE than just getting a Fit Body. It's about Building Life Long Relationships and teaching by Example HOW to be create and maintain Healthy habits for LIFE.

Heck a few years ago I would Certainly NOT have been itching to get to Working out, in fact I would have taken for granted that I am still not 100% back to regular health and pushed it off until I was. BUT this BODY was CRAVING my Me Time, my Destressing Time, my Sweating out the Anxiety, and Time to Gather my thoughts, I WANTED it and I couldn't have it.

Can you see those Sweat droplets on my top lip? Heck YES!!!

So today I woke up Got my Active-wear on and Pushed Play. NOW I will be 100% honest in the fact I couldn't do more than 15 mins, and was out of breath and dripping sweat all over, but I did What I could and for that I am Please with myself.

There are so many things I have learned through this Past week and here are a Few to wrap this up, some are serious and some are just funny, but I had many ah-ha experiences and I wanted to share a few of them:

Feeling Like a NEW Woman, I'm So
Grateful I am on the mend. 

*Liquid Diets, were you can only use a straw for more than a couple days SUCK (pun intended)
*I learned that allowing others to serve me, was more difficult that I thought, I am usually the one serving everyone else, but it also felt NICE to know so many of you and my family Cared.
*Many Prayers are a Powerful Force when so many are all praying for the same outcome, THANK YOU to each of you who added your prayers to mine.
*I have no Idea how y'all can stand to Binge watch Shows on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc... I tried if for Just one of the Days and I felt so bored and miserable. It certainly is NOT my cup of Tea.
*I realized how much I TREASURE the hugs and kisses I receive from my kiddos multiple times a day, and Hurt that I couldn't allow them to love on me (impetigo is highly contagious)
*Turning this over to the Savior and asking him to SHOW me What it is I needed to be learning from this experience is much easier said than DONE. However through priesthood blessings, prayers and whispering of the Holy Ghost I was led to know how to combat it and I am Winning Finally.
*If you Want the WHOLE BED to yourself for a WEEK, get impetigo... hahaha



THANKS for Reading to the END for those who did, and IF you would like to be a Part of a TEAM Family like I am and have ever Considered Coaching as a Career lets Talk... I am telling you These Ladies Pulled me through this like Nothing I have experienced Before.

When you feel LIKE you Could Never be Strong enough... GOD Piles more on TOP!

This Past 4 months has been HARD, NO it's been MORE than Hard it's been Unbearable Alone! 

My Marriage has been Struggling as many of you have read in previous blog posts, and my oldest son is going CRAZY (really we do NOT know what is wrong) and even with his primary care Dr. his meds Dr. and his Counselor and Endless Prayer we have NOT been able to figure out what's going on. (right NOW, please do Not share your ideas and solutions, it's just too much)

I Only Wish I knew so we could begin addressing it, but so far still nothing, the things we do try don't help, make it worse, or back fire on us, I Honestly NEVER knew I could handle this amount of stress in my LIFE. 

Yesterday I would say was THEE Most I have ever experienced, Great Pressure in my Head, body hurt, brain hurt from running in circles trying to resolve issues. eyes hurt, Grief from my sons actions, plus I know I have NOT been getting enough calories in, and I for Realz was like HOW, HOW can I keep on Trucking and NOT just give up the Ghost??? How can ones body take on so Much and not just Quit functioning. 

My son got Suspended from the rest of the School Year on Friday and i have been having to watch him like a hawk since then, day in and day out, can't leave him alone for more than 2-3 minutes without him hurting himself, his siblings, or something of ours. The Only reason I have time to type this up is because he is a Sleep right now. 

I understand it's gotta be freaking HARD for him right now too, so much going through his brain and he seems to have NO Reason or Filter, just says or does what ever floats through his mind, which is a lot of stuff since he has ADHA, Anxiety, and Depression. 

SO I am NOT Sharing this for Empathy or so you can all feel Sorry for me. I am sharing this for 2 Reasons 1) WE Can NOT do it alone and MUST rely on Jesus Christ to Cary us through and Guide us along, which I am doing to the best of my ability. and 2) I want you to KNOW I do understand how Hard Life can be, I have been through a lot in life in the past and this by far takes the CAKE. But I am Striving to Keep Myself from having an Anxiety attack or allow Depression to Seep in, by Continuing to MAKE me and my health a Priority most days. Getting outside in Nature, Getting Plenty of Hugs and Love from my Youngest, Being able to Plant some flowers in my garden and planting pot for my patio, focusing on inviting the Holy Spirit into my life and home & Exercising 6 days a week. I am telling you if I hadn't already had these things in Place I would be one of those MOM's you Read about on the News for either Running away, Hurting Myself, or Kicking the kids out of the house. It's Crucial that we KNOW what Triggers us and HOW to Combat that. 

And it's also Crucial to KNOW we aren't perfect, but We are the parents GOD Chose for our children to come down and be raised by. So WE Gotta Keep Trucking Along and Finding Joy in Life, Not necessarily Happiness (as several days I don't find any) which is fleeting, but Real Joy, Knowing we are Partners with God, and HE will Bless us through this and Mold us into WHO He SEES we Can Become. 

Here are a Few Photos that SHOW my week. 

The day I found out my Son had been Suspend from school for the rest of the school year. So many emotions, I hurt, I felt I couldn't keep going, Anxiety, Depression, Anguish. MY little Baby is growing up and making some pretty Naughty Choices and I can't Stop Him. I have to let him Learn and it HURTS my Heart BIG TIME.  (Yes, I know I am an ugly crier, kinda like Clair Danes, I would not be sought after for a crying part in any movie ever. haha) 

My Little buddy holding me
tight while I tried to take a
Shakeology selfie with him,
look close you can see his
chocolate mustache. 

My Sanity, he Brings me so
much JOY  & helps me
Keep pushing through. 

Scripture Reading time, 
the Sun set was Gorgeous 
on the wall behind them. 

Making sure I take time to Give
to my Sweet Girl, and help
her go to School Confident &
feeling Beautiful. With all the
Chaos of our Oldest DEMANDING
hours of our attention, she has been
feeling very neglected. 

Making Sure I Still Make my
Self and Health a Priority Daily. 

Spending time out in the Garden
= My Happy Place

Taking a walk surrounded by
Beautiful Views and Basking in
the Sunshine, Holds me Grounded
in my God and through this Storm.

Spending an Evening at the Lake with friends was so NEEDED!

Just when I thought I couldn't Handle ANYTHING Else, I woke up to God Saying
"Here, let me Pile a Little more on your Back, and See if you won't Break."
Woke up to impetigo on my bottom lip and chin, it itches, is HOT, and Oozes.
"Yes Thanks Just what I was hopping FOR, but Ya KNOW I'll Manage Some How."

Wondrous Woman Wednesday - Emily Barattiero

I AM Blessed to Call this WOMAN a Friend, and I am so Thrilled for the Opportunity to Shower her with LOVE today.

Emily is Beautiful Inside and out, she Cares about others from the bottom of her heart and Serves Often, praying and looking for the opportunity to do so.

She is a SINGLE MOM and has been for nearly 3.5ish years, but that has not stopped her from Using the Associates Degree that she has in Early Elementary Education, to take care of her and her kiddos.

This Photo was Taken just after they Completed the Temple 5k Fun Run (posing in front of the LDS Temple)

She is Fun, and Whimsical, and enjoys being a Spur of the Moment Adventure type Gal. She has tried things like Sky Diving, to Gardening, to Canning and found passions she didn't know she had.  

She is Strong in her faith and LOVES the LORD. Attends the Temple as often as she can and Relies on the Savior Daily to BE the Incredible Woman that she is. This Girl Serves in her community monthly for a Group called Harvesters as well.

For Realz this WOMAN is a Wondrous Woman that I KNEW I wanted to SHOUT OUT!

Thank YOU Emily for Being a Dedicated, Loyal, Friend who Listens and Cares about So many not just ME.

PLEASE help me in Commenting, Liking or Sharing this Post showing her some LOVE!

LOVE Ya Girl!!! 

Marriage/Divorce UPDATE!!!

My family right before leaving to church on Mothers Day. 

By Golly Gum Drops, this Marriage thing is a Flipping Roller Coaster I tell you, at least for me it is. 
The past couple of Weeks have had some Awesome HIGHS and some Disappointing LOWS. 
We have finally come to the Conclusion that our Oldest's Anxiety is what is causing him to Mentally Check out (as it's just to much for his body to handle) causing him to be very impulsive and flighty.
We are still not for sure what it is that is causing the High Anxiety, but we are leaning towards the Stress at home with him not knowing if dad will Lash out at him for the things he does. 
Living in uncertainty constantly is kinda like living in the wild and needing to head to the nearest water hole but not sure if leaving yourself exposed will end your life from either a Lion coming at you, an Alligator leaping at you out of the murky water you are trying to drink and sucking you under, or you'll simply die of dehydration cause you are to scared of the unknown.
So now that we are aware of what's going on, we Plan to do our best to remedy this problem ASAP.
You see Layne has a very short patience fuse and as an adult I am able to walk away or cope with it differently than a 12 year old child is. Not that I want to, But I also know that change doesn't happen over night and there has been Improvement in a handful of areas. 
For instance he got up early, let me sleep till 8:30am and made the family breakfast burritos, blueberry scones (premade/frozen), and orange juice for breakfast. He also cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes. That has not happened in our entire marriage for a mothers day Yet. So That felt wonderful to not have to get up and make my own food first thing in the am, with the kids crying at me that they are hungry and me fighting them to get up to the table. He also helped the kids get ready with the church clothes, I LOVED the photos of Westy and Daddy (Layne helping put his tie on) below. 

He has also been trying to spend more time doing things with us, like going on family adventure walks, bike rides, or out in the community, and the kids and I have appreciated that too. 
But again it's NOT all Roses and Rainbows, he is also still Extremely Grumpy and short tempered often and that causes arguments, disappointment, and sorrow in the home a lot. His new Job has him home more often so I think that is part of why things have been rough, he is irritated more by the kids, cause he is around them more often. 
Now I am not placing all the blame on him, It Takes Two To Tango, and I certainly know I have my issues. For instance I have been battling so much back pain that I have been Short tempered with him, and not able to keep up on the house work as much. Plus I have not been able to really Sweat it out or get my anxiety under control through my daily exercise so that has been building too. Sometimes I find myself spending more time half working half wasting time so I don't have to deal with Life. Then I have not been able to Serve others as much and since that is my LOVE Language I have been battling feeling like I am NOT what or where I want to be, and that pulls at me too. 
BUT one of the Main Reasons that I share all of this with you is so that you will Realize that I am Human too, I do NOT live a perfect Life, and I don't Claim too. 
If I can Choose to Be Happy and Keep working to Create The Life I Want To Live amid this Crazy Day to Day drama, SO CAN YOU!!!
Plus When we feel like we connect and we are NOT alone in our Trials, for some crazy Reason it's a little bit Easier to KEEP Going and Push our Way Through them. 
I challenge you REACH out let me know what's going on, if I can simply listen or possible share ideas that have helped me and could help YOU. Cause going at life ALONE Sucks Big Time, so Don't Attempt To.   

My Family/Your Family is Worth Fighting For!

Top: Cassie and I spent some time before bed, using the kids new art kit, we went on a family adventure walk near a creek, Below: Layne made us all a Delicious breakfast, and enchilada's, squash, and fresh strawberry lemonade for dinner.

Wondrous Woman Wednesday - Heather Nell

I am Thrilled to be Sharing with you for the First time (but will be happening from now on weekly) a Short Peek into this Wondrous Woman's LIFE.
I have been mulling over this Idea for going on 5 weeks now and Just have not been able to put it together the way I wanted until NOW.
I feel as Women we Bare a HUGE responsibility and yet often times Much of what we do goes on aware, and yet we do NOT feel we can Share it or it sounds like we are TOOTING Our Own Horn, So thus this Idea was Born. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to SHOUT OUT some Incredible Women each week and Help them Feel Loves, Appreciated, Recognized, and Empowered.

In Fact after my first 3 weeks, I plan to Open this up for People to Nominate their Friends as well, if they have some one who they Know ought be be Shouted Out. So be watching, observing and thinking about those beautiful, strong, fearless women in your lives.

Here is Just a Handful of things that I feel this woman has Overcome, Accomplished, or Simply Ought to be Recognized for. LOVE YOU Heather, THANK YOU for this Opportunity, YOU TRULY are one of my Hero's!

~Heather has survived (w/o major damage) a very abusive marriage, and not only survived it she is not Bitter, or Afraid to Keep Living & LOVING. I would say she is Fearless and Such a wonderful Support and Help to others who may be going through something similar.

~Although many may have NO IDEA she struggles daily with Chronic Pain & Fatigue. And Regularly Pushes through the pain telling it to Take a Hike. "Ain't Nobody Got Time For that." ( Diagnosis from Dr.s is Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue and Genetic markers for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.)

~ THIS Woman's Testimony of the Savior is something Fierce ... while she may feel very flawed (as most of us often do) Her roughness around the edges, is welcoming and helps others to connect and bond with her better KNOWING she's compassionate and understanding.

~ Her Talent for being able to Create Food into not only looking beautiful but tasting like a Master Chef cooked is awesome, Don't think her 7 kids Realize just how blessed they are to have her as the Cook in their house.

~ AND MAN OH MAN I kinda Understand this one from my own personal experience, She Home Schools 4 of her kiddos who are of school age (plus has a toddler). That takes a whole lot of Love, Compassion, Patience and ability to Teach various learners and ages of kids. Plus she has done it and her and they are all still "ALIVE" That's a MIRACLE I tell you, and I only had two in school and a toddler at the same time.

I'm sure you have gathered by Now, I Have a HUGE appreciation for all that this Wondrous Woman Accomplishes Daily and Feel Privileged for the Chance to SHOW her how much she is LOVED!

 Girl you Radiate 

Beauty Inside and Out, 

I LOVE that I am 

privileged to call you 

"Friend"

Mother to her 7 children,

She is a Wonderful Grandmother

If you Aren't Moving Forward You Are Moving Backward. Don't Stop Going!

So Right away I want to address WHY these before and after photos actually look like I was more toned in the Before pictures. 

Simple, I was! 

I had just completed "ChaLean Extreme" which is a 90 day weight training program (My Soul Program) and my back was starting to bother me. I was having pinched nerve issues and soreness and alignment (Scoliosis Problems) troubles so I new I needed to SLOW things down a bit and not Make it worse by Jumping into another Intermediate/Advanced program.

So I chose to Muster up Something NEW from within and Make the BEST of my situation, I knew Simply Stopping wasn't an Option, rather I chose "Country Heat" (country dance steps style fitness) program. My first thought of it (before I had tried it) was This is so dumb, how could line dancing to country music get you fit and be fun. I am hear to tell you I ATE My Word, after day 3 I was Loving it. Sure I stumbled over my feet a few times and couldn't get my arms to do what my head was telling them too. BUT I giggled and smiled through the whole 30 day program. I would start my mornings off with a post workout high and feel Empowered through my healthy choices, and the Post Workout high after wards. 

I am SUPER GRATEFUL that Beachbody offers such a wide variety of programs so that I could still have something to keep me going while pushing through the pain Rather than just STOPPING like I would have a few years ago. 

Then trying to pick back up and start over is HARD, and trying to do it with out Tried and True tools and a Personal Coach cheering you along and Helping you get going is Near Impossible.

So yes I certainly lost some muscle and although I am slightly bummed about that, I know that I am Strong and Health overall and Still have a habit of working out 6 days a week, so I am Pleased with that outcome. 

Here are a few details for those who are considering giving it a Try:

* It is a 30 day program, and each Routine ranges from 22-29 minutes (there are 6 different routines you rotate through)

* Beachbody provides a Calendar for you to follow and check off each day like I did (see photo below) so it's not a guessing game as to which routine you will do each day. 

* It's very low impact and there is also a modifier who makes it NO impact for those who do have bad knees, back pain, stiff joints, etc...

* You can Purchase it one of 3 ways, 1) Stand Alone DVD's 2) All Access Streaming (kinda like Netflix, but 30+ Fitness/Health programs and channels to choose from) or 3) IN a Challenge Pack which comes with a Bag of Shakeology, Portion Containers and the guide to teach you how to use them, a Shaker Cup and the DVD's 

* You learn each move for 8x8 counts then another move for 8x8 counts and then you put those two moves together for 8x8 counts, then you Move on. So it's not doing LINE dancing and trying to memorize a whole routine. 

* Utilizing the Meal/Portion containers and Shakeology daily is A Big Key to having Success as well. 70% of the Health and weight-loss equation is How we Fuel our Bodies (or don't fuel but fill up with unhealthy foods, that actually defeat what we are trying to do) and only 30% of the equation is Exercise. 

It's been pretty wonderful that even though my Scoliosis issues aren't easy to deal with, I can still keep going, not get stuck in a rut, and Keep sharing my Journey for others who May Also be feeling in pain and think there is NO option for them. I am here to tell you THERE is an Option and I would be Honored to help you get started and See and Feel Results, even if they may be slow, It's still better than NOTHING.

Sometimes You MUST Take That Leap of Faith Before You Find Out If You CAN FLY!!!

I found myself: 

* In PAIN

* Feeling Alone

* Trying to Get healthy but spinning my wheels

* My Marriage Sucked  -  When you Feel Unhappy in your skin you tend to avoid intimacy, or it becomes a chore that you do cause you are supposed to, but you don't enjoy.

* We Needed more income but nothing I had tried was doing it, in fact I was putting out way more money than I was bringing in trying to get a new essential oils business up and running

* I was home schooling my kids and felt like that was a daily battle that I had Zero Energy to fight.

* I was Eeyore or a little black rain cloud to a lot a of people, 80%of my conversations were negative

* I was Pleading daily for something to Change, cause I was at a LOSS

Que in Beachbody Coaching, and NOW 2.5 years later my life looks like this:

* I can manage my pain when it does hit (which is only every few months vs daily (Scoliosis Problems)
* I have Made a handful of Incredible friends that I consider Lifers (that I never would have met without this)
* I have the Proper tools to get Real Lasting Results and Knowledge to know what's healthy what's NOT. 
* My marriage is Much better because we are working on it together and working out together getting FIT, and looking FINE! ;)
* I am able to bring in Steady Income that is helping us on our way to Debt Free by the End of August!
* I am able to have my kids in a Small charter school that works with me and them individually (less Stress)
* I am now about 80% of the Time Positive and working to Uplift and Empower others through Healthy Living
* GOD answered my prayers through a friend who invited me to the Coaching Opportunity that I thought at first WAS Not the answer. But once I prayed and did my own research and Chose to go for it, OMG it has answered Nearly ALL my prayers over the past two years that I had, before I started. 

You may be thinking this is NOT the Answer to my Pleadings, BUT you know what it MIGHT BE. You can't KNOW if you don't take the time to LOOK into it talk with me about it in more detail, and sometimes you simply need to Take a LEAP OF FAITH, like I did. 

If this Speaks to you in any way, Please reach out to me and lets chat, YOU may be so Surprised that this will give you The Wings to FLY that you have been Dreaming For.  

***Let me just say, MY Tribe is Awesome! I have some Strong, Talented, Empathetic, Sassy, Go Getters on my Team. 
If you are part of my Tribe will you comment ONE thing you LOVE most about our Team Empowered Minds, so any one considering Joining can KNOW from my Team what they could be a Part of. 

I Am NOT Going To Keep Coaching Just for Me Any More!!!

I didn't Start Coaching For the Same Reasons I have Stuck with Coaching...
Over time our REASONS change and when I first started Coaching I will be the first to admit (I am all about keeping it REAL) I did it for ME:
I wanted to feel better
I wanted to Look better
I wanted more intimacy in the marriage
I wanted to EARN $$$ working from HOME
I wanted to be happy again
I wanted more Energy
I wanted to Feel like I mattered
All Good reasons and absolutely nothing wrong with them, In Fact most of them are still a part of WHY I Love being a Coach.
BUT these are NOT why I continue to be a Coach.
YOU see (I am not gonna sugar coat it) Being a Coach is an EMOTIONAL Roller Coaster. It takes time to learn to Ground yourself & know that when people (tell you NO, or NOT Now, or don't purchase when you had hoped so you could reach your Goals for the month) make a decision that doesn't have your interest at heart that's Okay. It''s not intended to HURT you or Belittle you, or Keep you from your Dreams. They simply do not feel Ready, aren't interested because they do not yet see value in the tools we offer, have something/someone else holding them accountable, going to the gym, drinking a different shake, or claiming they will die Fat and Happy. ;    you know who you are

So NOW that I know these things the Roller Coaster isn't near as scary and the lows aren't as low, BUT the Highs are still Certainly Exhilarating - YOU see I am Changing Lives one Day at a TIME. My Own, My Families, and many of Yours!
And that Right there is what Keeps me Where I am as a Coach.

Last night was my Team Training call, and out of 17 coaches on the call, 11 of them including me, were from my down-line. That means that if I had not Jumped for and chosen to Better my life for all the reasons I listed above these Coaches most likely wouldn't be here either. and those 11 are a small fraction of our actual full Team, we have over 46 coaches who are going out and changing lives including their own.
So each day I work to Improve me, First and Foremost for my Family, Secondly for my God (which should actually be in first place and I am working at that) and Thirdly for YOU!
If something I say or do encourages you enough to Do Anything Big or Small to change your life in a positive way then that is what Success Looks like in My eyes.
I want to be GOD's Hands for his children, my sisters and brothers and so I keep following that PULL at my Heart, Day in and Day out even when its seems hard or it feels like the Sh** is going to Hit the Fan.
He didn't say this life would be easy, he only said it would be WORTH IT!!!
And that is what I set out to do Every Single Day, Make my Life Worth Living!
