Not gonna lie..

Not gonna lie. Just set down to work on motivating my challengers on this long ride home with NO sense of direction. I've felt so overwhelmed all week with the hurricane & evacuation.

On top of that, one of the super dedicated women on my team of Beachbody coaches' house was majorly flooded during the hurricane :(. And I'm just so broken hearted for her.

It's in the moments like these that I have to stop and think WHY am I a Beachbody coach. That's where I find my motivation to keep going and my direction.

There are so many reasons, but this time I'm just going to focus on ONE.

ME.

Yup, me!!! Wait what?  There's tons of people who need help here. Not to mention you have two kids and a hardworking husband.  And your own house to remove boards from and check for damage.

Yes. I intend to take care of all of that. And help as much as I can. By nature, I am a caregiver. I give and give because I LOVE doing it. I do not get a rush of excitement at the idea of taking over corporate America. I feel that rush when I make someone's day better.

But you know what?

I can't do that if I don't take care of me!

When life gets tough you HAVE to stop and take care of your body. Even if that means putting other things to the side for a little while.

Don't worry...it'll get done.

BUT FIRST

1) Sleep
2) Eat QUALITY food
3) Get some exercise (cleaning up your yard after the storm totally counts btw)!

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

Reflections on Praying with Paul

    While I have yet to make it past Chapter four in Praying with Paul (grace and peace, right?), I was challenged even before I finished the preface of the book.   According to D. A. Carson, one of the major problems within the Western Church is prayerlessness.   Ok, great.   I pray daily.   Clearly this doesn’t apply to me.   T he two pitfalls within the Western Christian church are too much activity that doesn’t include prayer and praying without a basis in the scriptures .   OK, maybe I do pray daily, but are my prayers as well thought out as they should be?   Are they too simplistic?   Do I focus too much on my own wants and needs? They aren’t always based in scriptures.   I rarely sit down with the Bible and pray a passage…clearly, I have a lot to learn.       The first action I took to try to improve my prayer life was beginning to create space.   (I write the word beginning , because truthfully, I st...

Working out with kids! #MOMLIFE

Working out with kids. Sometimes it's flawless. Other days it's nutty. Today it was flat out hysterical. I PLANNED to make you all a video of the killer moves in PiYo core. Instead, I gave up on filming just after the warm up. This is more entertaining anyways!  😂 # ENJOY
