I turned another year older this month but my biggest achievement was that I reached my 1 year anniversary of taking care of me. This is a short Songs of My Life this month…maybe the shortest ever. There’s just 4 gems this month and I’ve played the shit out of them all. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify “Flag” by Xavier Rudd & The … Continue reading Songs of My Life: November 2019
I owe a huge thanks to the one and only, Marcus (@barefoot_trainerđź‘Ł). In my eyes, it will never be enough to say thank you to him, because I owe him a million plus infinity of thank yous for challenging me and changing my life. One year ago today at 7:15am, I did my very first personal training session with Marcus. Today, 365 days later at 6:15am, I will walk … Continue reading Thank You Marcus
I’ve been writing since I discovered haikus in grade school. It’s always been my thing. My passion. My way to express inside what I couldn’t always say on the outside. My voice is my words. My sword is my pen. I fight, I breathe, I live, I love through words. I’ve been thinking about this collection of works for some time. Some of these poems … Continue reading A Beautiful Mess
Last November, I walked into Flow Training Centre with one target in mind…get my shit together. Like I said in My Fitness Journey: Better Than Yesterday, I didn’t have a target weight loss. I didn’t have a target lift goal. I was only armed with a list of Why a Personal Trainer Now and Why I Can’t Do this Alone. I didn’t know then but my trainer, Marcus, (@barefoot_trainerđź‘Ł) would … Continue reading A Changed Life

My dear friend Krissie, was my beacon of light for me in the US who was able to meet up with Riley and see she was okay and 5 days later, Riley was back home and … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2019

I can say one thing about September for sure…I’m glad it’s over. And that’s all I really have to say about it. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify “Rotting Piñata” by Sponge This song has stood the test of time and honestly, the lyrics still get me to this day “…here lies junk that was me. Here lies this wreck that was me…grab my … Continue reading Songs of My Life: September 2019
August opened and ended with new moons (August 1st and the 30th). For me, a new moon symbolises new beginnings, resetting, recovery and starting fresh. I suppose August has been just that for me. I tried new things, reiki and took The Space Between mindfulness course, I started a new training program (and am wrapping it up as well). I’ve had a lot of great moments … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2019
I’ve been sitting and thinking about this post for a while. Do I write it? Do I post it? Do I share it? Does it even matter? Then I thought, what if today was the last day? The last day she decided that opioids were her answer and she quit for good or the last day she might be alive. What would I do? What could I … Continue reading What If Today Was the Last Day?
