Hey there sister friend! How was your long weekend? This one was one for the books for me. My hubby and kids threw me the most fantastic birthday full of all the things....crabcakes, cake and confetti....oh my!

Hey sis!  It is January and we are rolling in deep and today we're going to be talking about something that has been so heavy on my heart lately. And that is how your relationship with food isn't just affecting your health, but how it could be holding back your leadership potential and the significant impact that you're meant to have in this world. Marshawn Daniels says it best in her devotional.....

Happy Friday sister friend! Did you know that people who visualize their goals are DOUBLE as confident they'll achieve them than those who don't.

Yep, pretty awesome right? Well, I used to roll my eyes when my...

Happy January sister friend! So the boys and I rang in the new year in a new place this year. Hopefully you've had a great start to your new year! We surely had an awesome experience.
