This 3-year-old memory popped up today, and my jaw about hit the floor. 😳

Naturally, I had to take a picture after my workout this morning for comparison sake.

Here’s what these pictures don’t tell…

The last few years, and especially this year, have tested me in ways I never even imagined.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in all of it, it’s this:

Motivation is a fair-weather friend. Consistency is what sticks around when life gets ugly.

Some days I show up on fire.
Some days I just show up.

Tired. Sad. Happy. Overwhelmed. Completely checked out. Still here.

I still get my ass in the room.

Because life is ALWAYS going to life. There is always going to be something to pull you away. I’ve learned that discipline isn’t about negotiating with your feelings. It’s about keeping the promises you make to yourself, even when everything in you wants to quit.

And every time you do, you build a little more trust in yourself.

For me, this transformation has very little to do with weight loss and EVERYTHING to do with the life I want to be living in 10, 20, and 30+ years.

Strong. Healthy. Happy. And chasing future (very future 😅) grandbabies around. Adding LIFE to my years is what this is about. ❤️

So if life has been kicking your ass lately, or you can’t find it in you to start, I see you. But if I haven’t given up, neither should you.

Please give yourself that time. Even when it’s ugly. Especially when it’s ugly.

You’re so worth it! That I promise you! 🤍

Well, this week should be interesting. 😂

We’re kicking things off with a full moon in Taurus 🌕, Mercury AND Venus in retrograde (because apparently one retrograde isn’t sufficient 🪐).

Halloween on Saturday. 🎃

And wrapping it all up Sunday by turning the clocks back and saying goodbye to daylight after 5 PM. 🪦☀️

I don’t know who planned this little cosmic circus, but I’d like to opt out. 🤣

Stock up on Axio, protect your peace at all costs and don’t make any major life decisions this week. 🙈

We got this…. I think?

Things I never thought would bring me this much satisfaction but here we are. 😂

Who else has the power washer out for these occasions?

Our first Broomsticks & Bubbles did NOT disappoint! From all the fabulous witch attire to the restaurants, bars, boutiques, and shops that went above and beyond. A little hocus pocus and a whole lot of fun! 🧙‍♀️🧹🫧🥂

First year of MANY! Already can’t wait for next year! 🖤

Six months. 💔

Losing my mom has changed me in ways I can’t really explain. The things that matter to me now look so different. Some days I’m good, and others I’m just not. I’ve realized that grief and joy can coexist.

I think about her every single day. I still get choked up talking about her most of the time, even though I want to keep saying her name and keeping her a part of our lives.

I miss so many things, but it’s the simple things. The phone calls, the advice, the random conversations about everything and nothing. Just knowing she was there.

Life keeps moving, and somehow, we just have to keep moving with it. The last six months have taught me that life can be really freaking hard and unfair. But they’ve also taught me that nothing is promised and to appreciate all the little things, because one day, they become the big things.

I know my mom is free from her body and the pain she endured for most of her life, and for that, I’m grateful. But damn it, I wish I could give her one more hug and have another drink on the beach with her.

Love and miss you always and forever. 🪽🤍

⚾️ Reposting because apparently scammers have to ruin everything. 😡

We’ve removed Dylan’s contact information from the flyer, so if you’re interested in lessons, please reach out through DM!

On a happier note… THANK YOU to everyone who has shared, reposted, reached out, and supported him! 💙

He’s been loving working with the littles
and is staying busy!! He does have a few spots left so thank you again for keeping his name top of mind. 🙏

And for the scammers… seriously, get a job!

Taking it all in this year.

Salt-N-Pepa, TLC, En Vogue, and a whole crew of fun girls?! SAY LESS!
🎤💃🔥

We literally danced our asses off, sat down MAYBE once, and took a trip down memory lane last night! 🤍

The DJ was 🔥, the crowd was amazing, and the energy was EVERYTHING!

Still can’t explain how we remember EVERY SINGLE WORD to songs from 30 years ago but can’t remember why we walked into a room yesterday. 🤣

Finished it off with an impromptu silent disco on the way to the parking lot! 🎧💃 That was a first and oh my gosh, so much fun!

Some days the workout is about building muscle. Other days it’s about managing stress, clearing my head, and making some me time.

Movement isn’t a cure-all, but it’s one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for taking care of my mental health. This year has shown me the importance of this.

Protecting my peace is just as important as protecting my physical health.

Happy World Mental Health Day. 🧠❤️

Started from the bottom, now we’re here. And by here, I mean living rent-free with a full staff, never worked a day in his life. 😂🐾

Wellllll… you win some and you lose some.

But judging by all that orange in the stands, Broncos Country definitely showed up. 🧡💙 Made my heart happy!

Such a fun day with my guy. A great game, fun crowd, super hot but one of those days you just want to remember.

Because memories > final scores.

And this one deserves a permanent spot right here. 🧡
