I cried three times yesterday.
.
I was tired. I was premenstrual. I was frustrated. But most of all, I was disappointed because something I vied for, didn’t come into fruition. It was a hard blow. A hard No. A self-reflecting realization that I wasn’t good enough – at least not this time, and perhaps every other time I sought something and ‘failed’. .
As I was sitting in my office, hands over eyes, holding back tears and asking all the whys, what’s and how’s…I was reminded of the day, years ago, when I was told our rental application was denied because our property manager was constantly unavailable to confirm our good standing. I had fallen in love with the potential rental and already envisioned where my office would be and what school the kids would attend. It was a competitive housing market and I felt frustrated, disappointed, even angry that I was in this vulnerable position of renting.
.
I was losing faith. Just like I was losing faith in myself, my efforts and my works when I was denied the other day. Back then I also cried while losing hope. Somewhere in-between my tears my husband reminded me to have patience, faith and discipline – and focus on a home we truly wanted, not something we could frugally afford in our earliest years together.
.
I think of how to play the long game often, especially as I continue to work towards lofty goals of empowering women, encouraging community, promoting health and fostering healthy friendships. I’m no stranger to rejection, but it still stings just as bad as that moment I lost the house I really wanted. And I suppose it should sting, after all, it’s better to love, hope strive and live passionately, than to not dream any dream at all.
.
Most recently, I was visiting my sister and drove passed a particular home on her street I had admired for years. I loved its drive-in garage towards the back. I loved the small steps leading to the front door and always imagined how grand this large house looked inside. On that day however, instead of driving by, I stopped right in front of the house in astonishment. While the outdoor paint, stonework and yard were different, I recognized the floor plan, because it was CONT...⬇️

Over nine years ago I made an effort to bring my community together through Fitness. I didn’t have many mom friends, I wanted to lose weight and I felt isolated because I worked from home. I would’ve never imagined the world I exist in today...where I get to communicate daily with women across the globe in the spirit of support, acceptance and encouragement.
. .
I would’ve never imagined, seeing familiar faces at grocery stores, enjoying Moms night out and STILL working out at parks weekly - now with my dog in tow. I would’ve never imagined, in my wildest dreams - helping hundreds of other moms become leaders in their communities and creating a compassionate, inclusive and positive space both online and in-person for thousands of women.
.
This is me at 37, rocking my No Excuse Mom one-piece from our leader retreat last year and showing off a piece of my body I’ve always felt wasn’t long, thin and lean (like the models in magazines!) I’ve learned to love myself by loving others. I’ve learned to lead myself out of challenges by leading others out of theirs. I’ve learned that a purposeful community can be the dreamers, the changers...the doers! .
.
I found myself in the eyes of the people I served, whether it was my children, my husband, my friends and my community members. If you want to lead, I say LEAD! Join our FB community, Email a regional manager about leadjng and prepare to transform. #noexcusemom #oahu #brittenphoto #nemleader
