✨ Progress over perfection. ✨
A recent step on the scale gave me a surprise—a good one. I’m down 9 pounds! 🎉 Not from strict diets or calorie counting, but from mindfulness. I’m being more intentional with what I eat, how I think, and what I surround myself with.

Still a ways to go, but I’m celebrating every step forward. Sharing this to remind anyone feeling stuck: your small wins matter. They build momentum. They shift mindset. And they deserve to be celebrated. 💪

Simone Biles, the GOAT, mastering gymnastics, mental health, and the pause. Be good to your mind!

Happy New Year!
Here’s to peace, love, good health, and a world with more kindness!

Today was so special. My daughter took her first aerial yoga class with me. She can with an open mind and desire to try. We had a great time. 🧘🏽‍♀️💗

I’m in town and will teach Aerial Yoga Saturday and Slow Flow Sunday. Feel free to reach out for more details.

We may not get the outcome we want the way we desire. The path may be rocky, filled with more lows than highs, and seem impossible. Debts May multiple and the end might seem an eternity away. There’s a story to this that I’ll share one day in the hopes of inspiring anyone that might feel like giving up.

I’m not near where I want to be but so grateful for what I’ve endured. On the hardest days, I stayed hopeful even when I wanted to surrender to defeat. 29 years! Forgiven! The life lessons about debt and staying the course!

This flashback photo is my first semester freshman year in 1989. No filters or anything fancy just a girl making the most of it all. I feel gratitude looking back as a reminder that a smile, your outlook, and unshakeable hope can take you places you never imagined.

Whatever season you are in, don’t give up! Someone might need your story to inspire them on their journey. Living my yoga off of the mat.

Working from home has many benefits, but I found myself sitting too long and snacking too much. I have the tools to reset and that I am doing. I saw the Green Goddess Salad on tik tok and made it with my own spin. Even the dressing is from scratch. Be good to yourself and start with one thing to improve your life. Food is medicine so I’m striving to make better choices.

It’s so much easier for me to be consistent with my wellness journey in community or when I’m helping others. Being back on a bike and in a sauna was a challenge my body loved. Reminding myself and others to just start even if it means restarting. Thanks to my daughter for not letting me stay down and helping me to reclaim my motivation. Now to find workout ideas and buddies in the area because we only get one body and our mind needs the work too. It’s still yoga and aerial for me, but there’s room for more.
