Evolving Fit Mom

Today I sat at the table during a business meeting over lunch and for a moment I really took in where I was. I couldn’t help but think about where I came from and how much work it took to get here.

I grew up being told I was “special”and not in a good way. I was made to believe I wasn’t smart enough. I was a troubled teenager who lost my way and I’ve had to overcome more than I ever imagined I could.

Yet here I am. Sitting at the table being taken seriously involved in business decisions, and running a business alongside my husband.

I still doubt myself sometimes but I’ve come a long way. Don’t let someone else’s perception of you hold you back. Filter out the negativity and remember that their opinion of you does not define who you are.

I may have hit rock bottom at one point in my life but I’ve worked hard to make sure I never end up there again. Every setback has taught me something and every step forward has made me stronger.

Surround yourself with people who lift you up, believe in you, and genuinely want to see you succeed not people who tear you down.

Protect your peace. Know your worth. Keep moving forward.

20 years of loving this amazing man.

The man who not only came after the mess but helped put back the broken pieces of me. The man who helped me heal parts of myself that others never knew about or saw. The one who picked me up when others had spent years putting me down. The one who showed me what true love really is.

Vince you came into my life when I had decided
I was taking a break from dating because I had enough. You showed me what a real man was and what a healthy genuine love could look like.

You taught me to be a little more spontaneous, to care less about what others think to think outside the box and to realize that you really can live life your own way and not by the rules society sets for you.

Things haven't always come easy for us, but our love for each other has carried us through every challenge. Twenty years later, I'm still so grateful you said yes to that first date. I wouldn't want to do this crazy, beautiful life with anyone else.

Happy 20th Anniversary my love ❤️
Here's to all the memories we've made and all the adventures still to come. I love you more than words can say.

The second picture was taken last fall and you can see how much stress was affecting me. The second half of last year nearly broke me. There was so much happening behind the scenes that many people knew nothing about. I’m still not sure where I found the strength to get through each day but somehow I did. Honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without my husband's love and support.

I feel like I lost so much during that time but I also gained a new perspective. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking about the situations, the decisions and everything that happened last fall. It’s okay to feel sad, hurt, or upset about the things we’ve been through but at some point we also have to make peace with what happened and remind ourselves that we made the best decisions we could with the circumstances we were facing at the time. Life is definitely a roller-coaster..Sometimes it’s hard not to overthink situations or feel guilty about decisions you were forced to make.

Here’s to healing, growth, perspective, and moving forward.

Our camping trip with friends was definitely one for the books. Memories were made.

Our girl had the most amazing three weeks at Safari Zoo Camp. She made so many incredible memories, reconnected with old friends and made new ones. She spent her days doing what she loves most being with the animals. We love hearing about all of her adventures.
