It's a miracle to be here right now.
From seed to table. Ya, reap what ya sow.
That girl right there is the strongest chick I know(besides my mom of course.)
A year ago yesterday I snapped that photo while sunset hiking in San Diego. It was just 5 days till I was living solo in California.
Hanging on to every little last ounce of hope I had; wishing God would swoop in and save the relationship I had moved across the country for.
Heartbroken and afraid of being on my own, I faked this smile trying to catch that last inch of hope still in me.
& there it was.
Beneath the mental abuse I was enduring and the sexual healing I was receiving. I don't know how to explain it but it felt like I was living in heaven & hell simultaneously.
Between the two extremes is where I began to see myself clearly.
Was it worth living in hell for the sake of pleasure?
Or is it worth letting it all die (my ego included) so I could have the healthy life I deserved?
It's a miracle.
There are no words to explain the grace I've been blessed with since I choose to re-build my heaven on earth.
Maybe you can relate to a time when you thought your life was over, but really it was just beginning for you?
Like the dark, barren days of Winter; it seems like nothing is growing but under the surface, it's absorbing all the nutrients from the decay of fall foliage.
So that when Spring arrives it will have the energy to bloom.
I believe life kinda works like that too, and once you focus on growing a balanced, healthy YOU, you'll reap more than you imagined was possible.
This past year I've done sh*t that I thought would NEVER happen in my life!
Experiences I only dreamed of doing but never believed could actually happen.
I hosted two cannabis wellness events in California
Drove solo across the country filming cannabis fitness workouts
Participated in the Hemp Culture Expo
Created and published THREE e-books.
Waked n' baked with The Dank Dutchess
Mind Body Physique was on the radio (episode 3, 33 mins.) & featured in the San Diego Reader
Started fire dancing
Opened an IRA & my first business banking account (it's cannabis-friendly too)
Worked with one of the best psychologists in the world
Fell in love with my body, my mind, and my purpose!
It's an amazing feeling to be truly at home in my body and lead with a healthy mindset. I've come so far this year just like many others have too.
Thank you to everyone that has been supporting Mind Body Physique since 2014 and everyone that just joined me this year.
Wishing each of you a nurturing and warm Winter that preps you for new growth in the Spring!
