I don’t want to post this. But I have to.

For those of you who actually know me, you know how much I love my baby EJ.

She has an infection in her uterus and it needs to be removed. If it doesn’t come out, she will likely die.

Unfortunately, I just don’t have $1500-1700 for this surgery, so I am putting my pride aside and asking for help.

If you have a comment about how if I can’t afford this I shouldn’t have animals, please keep it to yourself, now is not the time.

If you’re not able to donate but feel led to share, that would also help.

Thank you in advance

Were kind of a big deal 😉

If you only knew how long it took her to learn to love herself, her true self…..

You might understand why she makes no apology for who she is.

If you only knew the way others have treated her….

You might understand why she stays guarded.

If you only knew the depths that God has pulled her out of……

You might understand why she continues to sing His praises.

If you only knew how hard she works at everything every single day…..

You might understand why she struggles with contentment.

If you only knew how much love she has inside her…..

You might understand why her emotions get the best of her sometimes.

If you ONLY KNEW ❤️❤️

God doesn’t want you to stay in that place that no longer serves you anymore.

Have enough faith to walk away.

For every new season to begin, the old one must come to an end.

And that is the only way for anything to grow 🌻

Remember when I wrote a paper on the insufficiency of the RDA for protein?

Remember when they increased the RDA for protein just over a year later?

Today is for sitting still.

Today is for listening.

I chose to use today to finish up work on my planner for the upcoming year. I’m fasting and praying to listen to what God has for me this upcoming year.

My goal is for my desires to align with His will and plan for my life.

Tomorrow is the beginning of what will inevitably be a chaotic season. I start my master’s program tomorrow. My job will get chaotic again soon. The girls will be home from their dad’s in 2 weeks.

I have other things I’m working on planting and growing this year.

So before all of that, I’m going to sit in the quiet with Him.

I’m going to refresh, recharge, and regroup.

And remember where my strength comes from.

““Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A lot happened this year…… and social media didn’t see much of it!

Quick recap:
At the end of 2024, I started as the Director of Training at Alloy Personal Training. Easily one of the best jobs I have ever had, working for the most amazing owners, with the most incredible team!! I am SO blessed and grateful 🥰

In February, we opened the studio.

In March, my oldest turned 15 and got her learner’s permit!

In April we moved into a townhouse closer to work, and in a much nicer area than we lived in before. My room is huge, the girls have their own rooms!

I furnished it with a brand new couch, a new TV, oh and we got a new leopard gecko too……

In June, I graduated from the American College of Healthcare Sciences with my BS in Holistic Nutrition. My baby brother and sister also graduated high school the same month! My masters program starts Monday ☺️

In July, I got our newest baby, Winston! He’s a Frenchton (Frenchie/Boston Terrier mix) and I love him, even when I want to strangle him 😉

The summer was full of Lagoon trips, pr***en summer camp, and a trip to Bear Lake to cap it all off before the girls started school.

In September, I got to travel to Dallas for Alloy’s yearly conference. A short, but awesome trip! I got home and took a new hike with some studio members 😍

In October, we went to the Be Bold for Jesus in Spokane. So many speakers including Kirk Cameron, Willie Robertson, Anne Graham Lotz, and ended with an Anne Wilson concert, absolutely amazing!

November saw lots of football games, as Ava is a new fan! And of course, Thanksgiving food 😉

December wrapped up an amazing year and I allowed myself some time to wind down, relax, refresh, and recharge. Ecstatic to see what 2026 brings!!
#2025

This is what I’m burning today.

So nostalgic.

So strong.

So CHRISTMAS 😍😍

What are your favorite candle scents??

Unpopular statement this time of year….

But I didn’t do anything to “earn” these candy bars 😱😱😱

Actually, that’s kind of a lie if you take into account that I prioritize my fitness and nutrition 80-90% of the time 😉😉

But I don’t exercise to “earn food,” I exercise to keep my body healthy, strong, and functional.

And sometimes, I eat chocolate in bed. Cause I feel like it and I can ❤️❤️

In case it isn’t obvious…… nutrition and fitness are pretty important to me…..

If by “pretty important” one means “borderline obsession” 🤪🤪

I spend as much of my ”free time” as possible consuming everything nutrition related that I can.

Shoot, I’m starting a freakin bachelors program for nutrition in January, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious 😉

Just like almost everyone, I share what I’m passionate about.

I share because I truly care.

My hearts desire, and I believe my purpose and calling in this world, is to help as many people as possible get as healthy as they possibly can.

I would like to make a VERY special note that I didn’t say “as skinny as the possibly can” or “as ripped as they possibly can.”

I said healthy.

Now, is it true that most people that carry excess body fat are not truly healthy?

Yes. That’s a fact. (Notice I said MOST, not all. Important distinction)

Is it also true that most people truly do need to make some pretty significant nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle changes in their everyday life?

Yes. (Please take note of the verbiage once again)

Now, I’m aware that I am not for everyone. Probably not even for ”most.”

But for the people who are tired of the BS, tired of the excuses, tired of living their life unhealthy, tired of being just plain tired, AND are ready to take ACTION, get real, long-term results AND want the honest truth from someone who’s not going to baby them, lie to them, or sugarcoat anything……

Y’all my people and I’m here for you ❤️❤️❤️

If my spreading honesty hurts your feelings, this isn’t the place for you sis 😘😘
