Isaiah 43:19 declares “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” All thanks to the Lord, for blessing me with a new opportunity in a new city. Through Him, all things are made new, and I’m hyped for this new avenue to chase greatness at @georgiasouthernuniversity 🦅

THANK YOU AUBURN, for an unforgettable year. Even though I’ve been a Bama fan my entire life, I simply can’t deny the beauty of the city, or the proficiency of AU and its students. I can wholeheartedly proclaim that my time on the Plains has CHANGED MY LIFE for the better! And for that, I thank the Lord, my family, my friends, and of course, my students. Y’all truly made these past 12 months LEGENDARY!

Amazing things await. Talk soon 🤞🏼

a little recap from @run.magiccity, my second half marathon! i ran this after only running 2-5 miles at a time during “training”. it wasn’t my quickest, but it was the first race i’ve done with friends, which was so much better than a PR 😎

Run baby run 🏃🏽‍♀️I like it rough 🎶

If it was easy, is it worth it? Crossfit is just hard. You don't focus on a singular thing, so you're always learning and workouts are just tough. You have to dig deep to get through it sometimes.

But it hurts so good. 😈 Every day you're tested and 1 year later you realize the load didn't become lighter, you became strong enough to carry it.

4th fittest at the Magic City Games

You’d think knocking on the podium door, I’d feel an underlying disappoint but all I feel is fulfillment.

This was my athlete photo when I checked in on Friday. It was the first time I cracked a real smile that week. Still sad in my eyes.

Going into this competition, I thought about all the highs I had last year and kept thinking … deeper field of qualified women— “what are the chances I could have anything like the performance I had last year?”

But after the tragedy and grief I was experiencing, my whole perspective changed. I was not attached to any outcome anymore. My heart broke open. In a way, I suddenly felt tuned into life’s fragility + it’s duality. I found myself really being present in the experience like I never have before while competing.

People’s families cheering from the sidelines, the dog who signed up to walk the race, the nerves of others in the corral.

Im proud of how I showed up. I put out good energy and I feel like it was returned back to me. I truly wanted to see others shine in their triumphant moments because I know how those can last a lifetime. This felt like a new kind of freedom.

To my surprise, my consistency landed me a better ranking than last year… and a bigger fondness for the city of Birmingham .. and the @magiccity.games

thank you 🙏🏼
