It's Time

Because when you finally believe in yourself and realize that your thoughts shape your life...anything is possible. Because I can...and I will. I am limitless. I have wings now. And I can fly. Chains have finally fallen away and eyes have opened. Because there is too much life to live. It's a gift. And it's fleeting. And it's time to step up and do more. Your time as a caterpillar has expired. Your wings are ready. So I'm gonna go fly now. Because our thoughts are our reality. Because I am successful, I am sexy, I am determined, driven, unstoppable. I am fearless. And anything is possible. Because I have a life story and it's gonna be told. Because the number of children I have does not define me. The message I leave does. I'm going to inspire the world and make it a better place.....one person, one act of compassion, one need unconditionally met at a time. I will raise children that do the same. And I am being given the tools to make this dream a reality on a much larger scale that I only ever envisioned.

And so it is that we received word this past Thurs that I qualified for a large scholarship to the world's top rated, #1 online nutrition/health coach certification school, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. For what remained, my tuition was privately paid in full based on both past and current academic performance, character, assertiveness, diligence, determination, an unconditional love for our family, and my courage to pursue something so ambitious on such a large scale while still raising 12 children with a shift working husband. Because somebody believed in me. I start school July 14th. It is one of the scariest, most exhilarating things I have ever done. Our life is changing...and I know it will never be the same. That moment on Thurs, every emotion coursing through body, staring into blue eyes of husband, laughing, scared, excited, nervous....this is the turning point. Everything we've been given, all these years lived....it begins to count now. I will be a world changer and I'm not afraid of it. Because people need encouragement. They need to know anything is possible. They need to be loved. They need to know they have a story. Because the world has so many mean, preoccupied, self absorbed people that need to be reminded what it is to be kind, to love...and in just loving and in serving lies the most rewarding, fulfilling, unimaginable life. With one act of kindness...one person moved with absolute compassion....the ripple effect is begun. Because people are absolutely desperate for hope, and love, and someone that is just kind and absent of judgment. Because the world has forgotten what it is to just love limitlessly and our family is going to remind it that we are all one. Because in our rawest form of humanity...stripped bare of socioeconomic class, religion, gender preference, political stance....we are one. There is no level. There is no measuring stick. There is just unconditional love. And you either unconditionally love or you don't. It's that simple.

The beauty....it's more than anything I can wrap my head around. It's a place of finally moving forward, of seeing dreams come to life, the reality everyone said was impossible...it's beginning to take shape....defying the odds and winning. It's years and years and yet more years....of tears and struggle and heartache. It's years of life lessons taught by some of the greatest mortal teachers that have passed through our life. It's 5 years of hell that are being used to lead others to freedom, to show others that anything is possible, and when you are just compassionate and live by the law of love....life begins to offer you things that most people never experience. To know intimately that to truly live is the rarest thing in the world.....that most people exist, that is all. And when you figure out the secret of life....all the world opens up to you.  It is love. As is. It is love that occupies the present. An ability to welcome into your home all that looks different than you. It is unconditional love, compassion, and a willingness to give selflessly without condition.

This is merely a continuation of a spiritual journey that was started long ago. And I will learn how to help people find whole health....spiritually, mentally, and physically. Free from religion. Free from self imposed limitations and self degradation. Free from the scale. I absolutely love to see people overcome. I love the world of essential oils and what we, as a family, are being able to witness as people and families find wellness from years of struggling with issues failing to be addressed by modern medicine. I love the fact that I have been enabled to help them. I love nutrition and seeing people made whole by lifestyle changes. I absolutely love seeing people conquer what they thought they never could. It is absolute fulfillment to watch a person discover their own inner power as they run a distance they thought they'd never reach, as they learn they can do anything, as they experience what it is to overcome all the no's in their head and push forward to overcome....and how that affects the entirety of their life.....so far beyond the momentary physical discomfort. But more than anything....I love watching people set free from the gray life of mediocrity...dreams that have flickered out somewhere along the road they have walked. To remind them that each of us are full of greatness and life can be lived in technicolor. We each are not only capable but we are full of compassion, kindness, and love. And sometimes people just need to be reminded of this....because when you remember how to love yourself....you truly feel good about who you are and all you are capable....it enables you to go out and love all those around you. On July 14th, our world will grow bigger yet again on this journey....and I will return to school so that I can help others know freedom like what I have come to know. I will remind people what it is to just live love. Without borders. Without boundaries. Without limitations. Without judgment.



Life is a beautiful gift. Let us remind the world what it is to live by the law of love. Live it outloud!
