Summer is almost here! Or is it? I know that it’s still cooler in most parts of the country and some are NOT enjoying it. Here in south Texas, the evenings have been cool and a little gloomier than normal for this time of year and I LOVE it BUT, I am also longing forRead more
On the outside, I looked a like a normal college student, taking care of herself, working two half-time jobs on campus, doing full-time school work and getting stuff done in my life. On the inside, I was hurting, broken, angry, purposeless, empty, struggling with self-esteem issues and medicating it all with alcohol, drugs, sex andRead more
My last blog post was from July 2017- Oh how life distracts from the things we love the most. So much took place after that. The first being, well, I turned 40! I got a birthday WOD at the gym and loads of friends showed up (maybe by accident, maybe because they love me *shrug*)Read more

What is the CrossFit Open, you ask? Well, it’s basically a worldwide CrossFit competition. Yeah, I competed against the world! Oh! And guess what? I wasn’tRead more
What a year! A lot happened in 2016, both in the world and in my personal life. Good things and bad things, sad things and happy things. I wanted to give up MANY times but I didn’t. I’m sure a lot of you felt the same way, but honestly, that is what got me throughRead more
My Simple Superhero Paleo Chili is probably my go-to meal when I don’t have a lot of time or a lot of money to spend on groceries. It can feed The Mister and I for a few days and we can eat it a couple of different ways. The other day I had just enough forRead more
brave adjective 1. possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance. I’ve never thought of myself as a brave person. Most of my life I have lived in fear – fear of failure, fear of what others thought of me, fear of my past, and fear of the future. Those are just a few things thatRead more
