What’s your most recent awesome accomplishment? Finally staffing my business with amazing employees that are a good fit for the company. It took me 8 months to locate them.

Why is it important to love our bodies? The body responds to all the messages we send it. It only makes sense to send your body, mind and soul healthy, nourishing and safe thoughts, and consistently.
If you could give your 16 year old self advice, what would you say? Abusive men can never truly love you or treat you properly, so don’t waste your years.
Your perfect day. What would it look like? Years ago I would have said 72 degrees and basking in the sun is a perfect day. Back then I believed my environment had everything to do with my happiness. Now I would say that a perfect day is available every day. I see perfection in the storm now too, but before, I could only see it in the sunshine. Even when it doesn’t appear to be perfect, at one point in the day, I can get to the perfection through gratitude. I am not saying it is always easy to get there. Some days it is hard actually. But I can get there, even if it is only for a moment. Every day is a perfect day because every day is a gift.
