I’m not ready to say “See you later” this evening. But you have given us so many amazing years of loyalty and unconditional love. It is my turn to give you that grace and set you free. I look forward to when we see one another again. I couldn’t have asked for a better best friend. Well maybe when you’d take off for hours in the woods 😝. But now you get to run free with no pain. In the meantime today you get all the snuggles and treats. 💕 It’s crazy how a four legged loved one can teach us to be so compassionate 💗. • • • #furfriend #bestie #seeyouagain #myhearthurts #iwillmissyou #phillywilly #iloveyousomuch (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHtIpBD0-B/?igshid=174lpaxewt2ku

“I am going to be so lost without YOU!!”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ You have been my best friend since the day you were born. ⁣ ⁣ You’ve licked away my sad 😢 tears, you did a 101 Dalmatians move with the leash to get @r_dejesus07 & I together, you stole my food when I’d leave you in the car for a moment, and you’ve given the best snuggles when I wasn’t feeling well because of #multiplesclerosis. ⁣ ⁣ It sucks that I have to make the decision soon to have you visit the 🌈 bridge. But I know we’ve had a good run together these past almost 13 years. ⁣ ⁣ You have been an amazing best friend, an even better brother to your 2️⃣ legged siblings and have taught Hippo how to be a genuine pup. ⁣ ⁣ Till the day comes where we have to say see you later, I am going to spoil the Fuck out of you my friend!!! All the treats, all the foods and all the 💗s!⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #fuckcancer #dogcancer #mybestie #puppylove🐶 #girlsbestfriend🐶 #positiveenergyonly #westillhavetime (at North Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9VjI5jUAH/?igshid=1bwb5sxyn5av6

“𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ But you pay boat loads of medical bills, eat out, bought the newest phone out there, and had drinks on the town one night... 🤔 I’m confused. ⁣ ⁣ I get it. We see a number and automatically go 😱!!!⁣ ⁣ I thought the same thing when I was invited to this 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄. I said, “𝐍𝐨” too. ⁣ ⁣ At first anyway. ⁣ Then I saw the value. ⁣ Shit I really didn’t have the 💵, I pulled it from an upcoming bill...but that’s another story. ⁣ ⁣ *𝘈 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝟹𝟶 𝘮𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴, 𝘯𝘰 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺. ⁣ ⁣ “𝐅𝐮𝐠𝐠 𝐢𝐭.

I also have saved $1000s of dollars by not being at the docs 👩‍⚕️constantly, not needing infusions, not needing medicine💊, and not needing a gym membership I barely use. ⁣ ⁣ This “at home” 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄 has saved my life in so many way. ⁣ ⁣ What if you were guaranteed to save your body and wallet...wouldn’t you want to?⁣ *(𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 💵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺).⁣ ⁣ Just saying sounds pretty fricken obvious to me.⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #whattareyouwaitingfor #lifestylechanges #mslife #cheaperthanyouthink #communityovercompetition #healthyisthenewskinny #strongerthanyesterday #frugalmom (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7EmxYjgV6/?igshid=12oylqlob3r2j

I AM:⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵!⁣ ⁣ Words I used to not be able to say. One word that definitely did not describe me. I very much lacked this quality for the longest time. I was one of those fake it till you make it kinda gal. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰𝘰?⁣ ⁣ Because if it is. My heart goes out to you. I know how tough it is. And the life I live now is what has helped me gain and be proud of that description of myself now. Confidence is grown not given. You have to work for for it. And all that work put in is damn worth it. This community has helped me become the hula. I am today. And I am forever grateful. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵 💦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩 😆𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘺 😢 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘢𝘸💁🏻‍♀️𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. ⁣ ⁣ I have been able to stop faking it thanks to the support we give one another. And none of us live right next door to each other. We are from all over the states and even different countries. ⁣ ⁣ Do you feel you’d grow the confidence you deserve if you had a support system behind you and actively pushed you to work on your best self?⁣ ⁣ 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵?!⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #confidentwomen #confidenceiskey #growthmindset #growthroughwhatyougothrough #mindsetshift #confidencecoaching #hippievibes #peacewithin https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4PKdpj7yo/?igshid=1rhxifihwe5rs

I remember when Sundays meant hangover 🤢 days! Now it’s more sunshine ☀️ and scooters 🛴!!! While I don’t regret my drinking days, partying it up and living it up...I’m thankful to have traded it in for days with these cutie pies, my oldest @artistyeeted and @r_dejesus07. We go through chapters in life. And it’s nice to remember these chapters vividly 🆚 the blurs of clubbing and causing a ruckus.

You ever given up on a passion of yours? Something you 💗 doing, so much so that it would bring you to pure joy?! Yup I 🤦🏻‍♀️ did. Between a neck/shoulder injury & #multiplesclerosis, I quit running. Running made me feel like a free bird. Like I was soaring down the road and nothing could stop me. But something did.... My own body. But here’s the deal. Yes shit may happen and things may come up but doesn’t that mean forever quit what you 💗? Hell NO!! So I got my ass out on the trail, along with Mr. Hippo and we ran a 5K. The last time I ran a 5K or really ran for that matter was like 3 years ago. And today I was hot 🥵 and tired 😓 & I don’t give AF!! Because it felt good to fly again! • • • #flyfree #youdictateyourlife #takeownership #yourlifeyourway #mswarrior #5krun #househippo (at North Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErex7ejOoR/?igshid=xagyqge1t2l

I have posted many times of my days of being overweight🤰🏻and unhappy. ⁣ ⁣ But I think it’s time to stop 🛑 calling them ⁣ “𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 & 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬”. Because we are not a before and after...we are evolution!⁣ ⁣ We grow everyday, learning new things and our mind + bodies change. Change and evolve. ⁣ ⁣ For me, these photos remind me of how far I’ve come. An overweight momma who only felt confident when she was drunk AF. It amazes me that I didn’t pick up a habit. Well I guess I did...working out and eating cleaner. ⁣ ⁣ These photos are both of me from different stages in my life. One from 2014 and the other of my now. It reminds me that we are always growing. We are all on a 𝐉𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐘. ⁣ ⁣ So do not compare yourself to another. You aren’t in their shoes and they aren’t in yours. We all have lives and we all have struggles, but each different. ⁣ ⁣ Instead of comparing ourselves or feel envious of others, why not find it in ourselves to be an inspiration to others. We all have something to offer. ⁣ ⁣ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐞?! ⁣ Tag a babe 💁🏻‍♀️ who needs a little boost!!⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #livingtoinspire #pottymouthmama #nonegativity #transformyourlife #youcanifyoureallywantto (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkWzU6j-vG/?igshid=qzzl53ck760v

“I don’t 🙅🏻‍♀️ have time for that.”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Im going to let you in on a little secret girl....⁣ ⁣ None of us do. We make time. ⁣ ⁣ You spend your first 30 min scrolling social or tiktok. ⁣ You spend your first 30 min hitting the snooze button. ⁣ You spend your first 30 min watching cute puppy 🐶 videos.⁣ ⁣ Yet you say you don’t have time. ⁣ ⁣ Or you can own 💁🏻‍♀️ the time you have and make time for things you and your body truly deserve. ⁣ ⁣ “How do you motivate yourself to workout?” - Others. ⁣ “I’m not motivated. I’m determined. I’m determined to feel good. And if that means I gotta workout 30 min a day even when I don’t want to...I will!”⁣ ⁣ We are our own bosses. So why not act like one, own our routine and schedule, and carve out time. ⁣ ⁣ Because I don’t know about you but I don’t enjoy feeling like shit or feeling like shit about myself.⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #mslife #determinedtosucceed #transformations #feelgoodlookgood #sweatforchange #youdecide #whattrulymatters (at New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUKHBaj0TZ/?igshid=17pzjp8x2cwjh

Sometimes it’s a fuck it and unplug 🔌 it kinda day!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ After having a meltdown via my stories, venting to my team and hubby it was a general consensus that I needed to decompress. ⁣ ⁣ I 💗 what I do. ⁣ I 💗 that I own my own business. ⁣ I 💗 my team. ⁣ ⁣ So much so that I haven’t taken a day off and I’m paying for it and so is my #multiplesclerosis.⁣ ⁣ We all need a moment to relax or we burn 🔥 out. Even #superheros need time to recharge. ⁣ ⁣ So if you are guilty of the shit I’m pulling...then stop 🛑 it. ⁣ ⁣ You madam need a fucking break too. And I use the F bomb with all the 💗 I can possibly give you!⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #unplug #zentime #mindsetreset #mswarrior💪 #beachbaby #sandytoes (at Folly Beach, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CECutsvjdX3/?igshid=1h1afjdztocy5

😱But I’m afraid I’ll FAIL!!😱⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve never stuck to anything before.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I don’t know if I have the time. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I need change but I’m scared 😱 shitless. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ All things I’ve heard in my inbox lately, which should help you realize you ARE NOT alone. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was afraid of taking the step too!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was worried it wouldn’t work. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I didn’t think I had the time in life to do it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But what scared me the most, was staying the same. The broken woman I saw in the mirror. The one who hated her body. So bad so that she changed in separate rooms of her back then boyfriend now hubby. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I was scared if I didn’t say yes, if I didn’t make the commitment, it was guaranteed things wouldn’t get better and neither would I. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ That I wouldn’t grow. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ That I wouldn’t succeed. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ That I wouldn’t accomplish the dreams and amazing shit I set for myself. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ That’s when I said “Fuck it, lets do this!” and that what if I don’t commit or I don’t have time became a crock of shit. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So I say to you babe💁🏻‍♀️, “Go for it...just fucking go for it!”⁣⁣ ⁣ Because had I not, who knows where my health would be at now. And had I not, I wouldn’t be teaching other badass babes and mommas how to clean up their life as well!⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #nevergiveup💪 #youareenough #exnegativenancy #exsmoker #confidencecoaching (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_ToPxDSId/?igshid=v56hzkyoxktz

“𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥!! Why the frigg are you trying to blend in?”⁣ ⁣ ⁣ It’s 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐊 to try to fit like a cookie cutter puzzle 🧩 piece. Especially when you are meant to stand the fuck out. ⁣ ⁣ We are all unique. ⁣ Every single damn one of us. ⁣ ⁣ If we were meant to be the same, we’d all be clones. Just sayin’.⁣ ⁣ You don’t 🙅🏻‍♀️ need someone’s approval and neither do I. We may be criticized for what we do or the accomplishments we make, but remember this...great things have come from those who didn’t listen to the naysayers. Or used those words as fuel to be more. ⁣ ⁣ So if anyone ever tells you that you aren’t unique or you aren’t made for more...well fuck them...they are wrong!⁣ ⁣ You are you and they are them and that’s that babe!⁣ ⁣ 𝐆𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 💁🏻‍♀️ 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟!!!⁣ •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #uniquelyyou #madeformore #standoutforgood #youareabadass #shinebrightlikeadiamond💎 (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3x4tnDti0/?igshid=122qp5s1lw8op
