Remember the old saying "when the going gets tough the tough get going"? That same message still holds true today.
But what does it take to go through a difficult situation and not crumble under the pressure? How can you become more resilient, strong, and fearless?
The Top 4 Ways to Become More Than A Conqueror

1. Deal with tough situations head on. As hard as it sounds (and harder to do), you must confront difficult issues sooner rather than later. Are you struggling to lose weight? Going through a health challenge? Dealing with a stressful family situation? Don't ignore it. Instead, do something brave. Confront the issue and you will find there may be a solution you were missing all along.
2. Without question you must have the right mindset when going through difficult times. Focus on being positive, and surround yourself with other like-minded individuals. No room for negativity- after all, another person's opinion does not have to be your fact.
3. Bounce back quickly after a setback. Of course you could spend the next 6 months mulling over what went wrong, who is to blame, and why it was so bad. However, you must keep your goals and vision at the forefront. What can you do to keep moving forward despite what has happened to you?
4. Never give up. I repeat, never give up. I love how Les Brown says it, "It's not over until I win." You may not like how things are going but sometimes winning is getting back up when you fall and trying again.

2021 is here! Now what are you going to do about it? Get up, dust yourself off if you fell down last year, and be determined to have your best year yet! If last year went well for you, rejoice! And stay committed to doing the things that made it possible. 

The Top 3 Steps to Success
1. Dream Big
2. Work Hard
3. Plan for Success

It All Starts With a Vision
In order to achieve the success in 2021 that you desire for yourself, you must have a wellness plan. This may be a new concept for you and as a busy woman, I get it. You're juggling your family, your kids, your career, your hobbies, and more. And nothing is wrong with that. Except when you prioritize everything else over yourself.
Ponder these questions as you strive for success in 2021:

• Have you defined your wellness plan?
  
• What are some resources that you will use to get you moving more this year than last year?
  
• How will you navigate all your emotions that may be on a roller coaster since living through a pandemic and uncertainty in our world?
  
• What do use to ground yourself and stay focused when all else is in an uproar around you?

I offer you this one word...Vision. When you get clear on your vision, your path to success is much less cloudy. For women who may be stuck, unsure of their vision, unfulfilled in their life, and ready to leave the old behind, this wellness course is for you. Click the link below and learn how you can get on the path to creating a new vision for yourself now!

Learn from the Past
   This has truly been an extraordinary year- with ups, downs, and in-betweens. You are undoubtedly ready to say goodbye to 2020, never to look back at it again. Instead of  throwing 2020 away completely, take some time to consider the benefits you may have enjoyed. Did you enjoy the early solitude of quarantining? Were you able to get some much needed rest and relaxation? Did you enjoy more home cooked meals than ever before? Have you started a new diet or exercise routine because of the pandemic? How you spent your time and what you chose to think about during 2020 speaks to you as a woman. Take some time to think about what made you happy and sad so that you can improve moving forward into the new year.
Let Go of the past
   Now is the time to start new and fresh! Start dreaming about ways you can turn negatives into positives and let go of past hurts, mistakes, missteps, and anything else that didn't go according to plan. Daily renewing of your mind will transform your life! That means you can't dwell on the past, you must look to a better future. It may be easier said than done but it's possible.  You can do anything you set your mind to do!
Leap into the Future
   Don't walk and drag into the new year, get ready to leap and jump into a better, more fulfilled life in 2021! See yourself healthier, happier, and enjoying more of what life has to offer. Learn more about personal wellness and make a commitment to improve your total wellness so that you can stop putting your life on hold and live it to the fullest! What does your Level 10 life look like?

You Can Create A New Vision
Guess what?! It IS possible to go from unfulfilled and stuck in a rut to enjoying your life doing what you are passionate about doing! There is no (good) reason to stay down, stay depressed, or stay daydreaming. When will you ever have fun enjoying your life? If not now, when?
If you're reading this, I know you want something better. I have a feeling you are just waiting until the right time. Waiting until things settle down, waiting until you have more time, and waiting until your "break" comes. And that's not necessarily a bad thing...unless that time never comes!
I want you to say, "Today is the day that everything changes!" And then start discovering how you can live the life you dream of living.
The Top Benefits of Vision Board Planning
There are so many positive benefits to creating your life's vision- the most important being that it clears the way for you to move forward and fulfill your destiny!
One way to do that which has a big impact is to create a vision board which represents what you truly value and want to achieve. I believe a vision board created with the right mindset is the ultimate recipe for living a successful, joyful, adventurous life.
Another benefit is the health benefits- it relieves stress and gives you mental stamina to forge ahead.
My mission is to inspire and motivate women to prioritize themselves and stop putting their happiness on hold. Join me as we work together with other women seeking to elevate their life in the Vision Board Planning for Success Course.

How do you get through the most difficult time in your life? 
Some would say one day at a time. Not bad advice except when it seems like everything is against you and it's hard to make it through the day. I mean who could blame someone for not wanting to try when there is a pandemic, social unrest and the highest unemployment in years?
Are you facing one of these hard and scary scenarios?

• You've lost your job in the middle of a pandemic
• You're facing a serious illness
• You're isolated from your friends
• You're feeling depressed and anxious 
• Your marriage is on the rocks and you're pregnant
• You have lost several loved ones in a short period of time
• You've lost faith

Here are 6 keys to becoming resilient and reclaiming your life:

1. Remember and re-commit to your purpose
2. Be determined to live your joy no matter what comes your way
3. Make a plan to dig yourself out of the pit
4. Start dreaming again
5. Find one thing to be grateful for everyday
6. Don't be afraid to be alone for awhile

Join me each week for "Self-Care Sunday" on Facebook as I discuss each of the 6 keys and inspire you to become more Resilient!

Do you wish you can wake up one day and COVID will be gone?
Well, snap out of it sister! The truth is, it's likely that we will have to deal with this new normal well into the next year.  Here is our current reality*:

• 8.3 million confirmed US Covid-19 cases (and rising)
• 224,000 deaths from coronavirus (and rising)
• 50,000 new cases diagnosed daily on average (at this time)

Recent changes to the CDC guidelines include an increase in severe illness from the virus in certain medical conditions.
The top 7 conditions are adults who have:

1. Obesity/overweight**
2. History of smoking**
3. Cancer
4. Chronic Kidney Disease
5. COPD
6. Heart Disease
7. Type 2 Diabetes

With news like this, is there any hope that we can move past this? Sure, there is always hope! So the better question is, what are you going to do about it?

Due to COVID-19, we are facing more stressful health and wellness challenges than ever before. Women are great at helping others achieve their goals while we put ourselves and our self-care on the backburner- including our mental health and wellness. Check out these--
6 Keys to Restoring Mental Health

1. Have a good network of friends that you can turn to and talk about your feelings and stress. Even if you have one good listening friend, that is more than enough to get through difficult times. The goal is quality over quantity.
2. Stay active physically for the best mental health. When you are moving, your mood is much better!
3. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and drink alcohol in moderation.
4. Take time for yourself when you need it. Listen to your inner being and unplug when you need it most.
5. Do something you’re good at and that brings you joy and satisfaction. Stop spending time with projects or people that bring your energy down or raise your stress level. Just say no!
6. Learn what triggers you and causes stress or negative emotions and avoid those things.

We want your journey to better health and wellness paved with the truth. And the truth is, you want to be healthier but you keep getting distracted from being consistent. You are already on a good track and want to take your wellness to a new level. We know how difficult it can be if you're going it alone with no plan of action. That's why we're here to help motivate and inspire you to Insist on Great Health​.

Ladies, we love to eat what we love to eat, right? I know I do!
Well, here's some food for thought: Food is your friend. That's right, I said it. And instead of depriving yourself of the foods you love, why not take an inventory of the typical foods you eat and consider how you can incorporate more healthy foods in your daily routine.
If your kids needed extra fruits and vegetables, you'd find a way to make sure they ate them right? If they needed to drink more water, you'd be finding creative ways to get that water in them without fail. And if the doctor told you that your child needed a more balanced diet, you would plan out their daily meals in a heartbeat to make sure they were on track.
So, here's the question: What about YOU?
The foods you eat can absolutely make you or break you, however, instead of losing sleep over what you eat on a given day, take a step back and evaluate where you can make those positive changes today.  
There is no need to worry about the past and dwell on the negative- tomorrow is a new day! How will you make the most of it? Remember, eat to live and enjoy it!

Ready for a change? Ready to wake up energized? Ready to live a better, healthier life? Ready to be optimistic in the face of adversity? Then, it's time to Renew your life and live on purpose. 

Women are under a tremendous amount of pressure as the backbone of our families and many work full-time jobs. Everywhere I look, I see women in a leadership role and wearing many hats.  We are caregivers, mothers, teachers, nurses, executives, speakers, bakers, decorators, doctors, engineers, bus drivers, receptionists, therapists, managers, business owners and the lists goes on. The exact title or position doesn't matter, because we are all human beings and can appreciate the hard work and compassion that women give on a daily basis. But, what happens when women forget to nurture themselves?

As a busy, professional woman who takes her responsibilities seriously and desperately wants to be/do/have it all, what's missing is the all-important and easily forgotten "Me Time".  When was the last time you took time to do something that you enjoyed? When was the last time you burst out laughing? Danced to your favorite song? Took off early from work just to have some "alone time" before the hustle and bustle of the evening duties began? Took a trip to your favorite spot?

If it's been so long that you cannot remember,  I challenge you to break out of the mold and start changing your life for the better. It's possible to start today! Here are my 3 Be's of Renewal:

• Be intentional
• Be original
• Be transformed

You do not have to wait for the right time, the perfect situation or the best day of the week. The time is now. There will never be a perfect situation and today is a very good day of the week. You can do it, I believe in you!
