To Wellness and the Creative mind

Mom, Artist, Health Coach, daughter, sister and a wife.We all wear many hats during the day. How do we maintain balance? How do we not lose sight of what is important and real? We can help each other answer these questions by sharing what we have learned along the way.
Here I am going to share my thoughts and experiences with how we treat our bodies and the effects it has on how we think and feel.

Bracing for impact


Sometimes all I need is an hour on the lawn tractor to clear my head...todays thought...is it exhausting being a bitch?

When I was younger I always wanted to be mean, but I didn't have the guts. As I get older I realized being mean or a bully is really about insecurities but I still don't get it. Sometimes I still wish I could be mean, but I am told I have the patience of a saint and can be overly optimistic and forgiving. If you would like to refute this point, feel free. So someone was down right nasty to me the other day and it made me sad. I could be flippant and say, "I don't care what anyone else thinks of me" but the thing is I do care. Not like I cared in Junior High, but I care. I care in the way of being misjudged and not wanting another to think I would wrong them intentionally.

Words hurt, bad things happen, but how we respond shows are character. The Bible teaches us to turn the other cheek. As a child I thought it meant to ignore someone if they wronged us but now I know it is to "offer" the other cheek. Offering grace and forgiveness is no easy task, yet the benefits are great.
