SO. PROUD. OF. HER!

My words for 2024 are FORGIVE & SHINE.

And I'm going to start with this picture of me I took this morning. I am fighting the urge to take this down. But I won't. I'm going to be bold and ask you to help hold me accountable.

This is what my depression looked like by the end of 2023. This is what happens when I don’t forgive myself. This is what happens when I hide in shame. I had so many missteps in my nutrition and health last year. I failed myself in so many ways on so many days. But, through it all, I refuse to quit.

In 2024, I will FORGIVE & SHINE.

It’s been awhile since I read from John C. Maxwell’s book. Today’s entry was a great way to close out the year.

2023, thank you for so many life lessons.

Lessons like:
Losing a parent is harder than I ever imagined.
Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
I am stronger than depression and anxiety.
I am teaching my children to be strong when life gets tough.
I am an example to my daughters on becoming a victor, not a victim.
Sometimes self-care means just being still.
Cats are funny, fickle, and ferocious… and sometimes all at the same time.
It’s not too late to forgive others.
It’s not too late to forgive me.
It’s not too late to shine.

I am too awesome to be anything else but awesome.

My words for this new year are FORGIVE & SHINE.

2024, I’m ready for you. Bring on the blessings.

**If 2023 taught you anything, tell me!!

What's your word of the year for 2024?
Bonus points if you tell me why that's your word of the year.
And. . . GO!

Hey, Annë! (and to all the other women out there who are struggling)

The past does not define you. Every day is a chance to be better, wiser, and, yes, even healthier, than yesterday.

Keep fighting. Keep contending. And even if you fail, it's okay. Your goals are can still be reached.

And soon you'll see that your smile is still beautiful, but now healthier!

🤔

Happy !

“Here’s to strong women.
May we know them.
May we raise them.
May we be them.”

Humbled and happy to call these three mine.

So…here’s my guilty pleasure. What’s yours?

I needed to read this today. I need to reread this all day, every day.

Sharing because maybe you or someone you love needs to read this, too.

Thanks, Mike Woeckener, for your message today.

It's Face to Face Friday, and we're thrilled to celebrate the remarkable journey of Independent OPTAVIA Coach Diva S. 🎉

“Face to face Friday! Lovin life and my transformation program!

This program not only changed my body, it totally shifted my mindset in believing that I can be better in every aspect of my life! My “yes” to this program has changed the trajectory of my overall health! I simply had to believe that I am worth the investment.”

- From my fellow Independent OPTAVIA Coach Diva S.

Proud to share my story of overcoming struggles — not for weight loss, but for HEALTH GAIN.

I contend daily for my health. And despite my stumbles and falls, I still continue to contend.

"Check out these jeans! These are "skinny" size 2XL! I used to live in them; now I can practically SWIM in them!

They used to dig into my waist and cut off the circulation in my legs.

A dream health goal I used to have was to wear jeans with confidence and PAIN-FREE. I love that I am there!!! ❤

Who are my networking friends? I have a question for you (serious and honest answers only, please!)

What business tools do you use when networking to grow your business?

I'm looking for 5-7 people who want to lose 10-20 lbs before summer officially begins. No exercise required. Must be willing to commit to high level coaching.

If you are stopping by to look at this transformation, I pray you don't see the hope. Instead, I pray you see the pain.

The emotional pain from failing to live life in joy.
The physical pain from the excess weight I was carrying around and the trauma it caused my body.
The mental pain and anguish from not being who I was called to be.

I want to go back and tell the Annë back then 5 things:

1. You will feel better than you ever have before.

2. You will play with your kids with renewed energy.

3. You will look at yourself in the mirror with joy and embrace the body that brought five beautiful souls into the world.

4. You will finally feel like you are taking care of yourself.

5. You will not hide in pictures, or hide behind a child in a photo, or shy away from the camera.

Mommas out there, I see you. I see the pain in your eyes. I feel the hot tears on your face. I know that you may not believe it now, but that tiny spark of hope will one day bring you the desires of a healthy life to fruition.

The time is going to pass anyway. Why not let it pass with you reaching your dream health goals? I will be honored to walk you through the hard so that you can reach those goals this time.
