LIVE FREE: It’s the culmination of balancing the other 2 areas; “train hard” and “eat well”, but it’s also HOW we find our answers to them!

In order to live free, we must remove the weights that lay heavy on us…weights of fear, doubts, hang-ups, and more.  The nuts & bolts of eating and exercising is easy–managing them while holding to your priorities, stewarding your resources, & keeping a healthy life balance is the tough part.

I believe that when we read and apply truths from the Word of God–the most powerful health tool I have–that we find that freedom. We find how to transform our mind, how we should align our priorities, and get equipped to make it happen.

The Marriage of Idleness and Temptation

If you've ever been to church, then I'm sure you've heard the story about King David and Bathsheba. There's an important lesson for us, but one you might not expect. First, let's back track and tell a quick recap of the story. "In the spring, at the time when kings go...

Watch this.  (Keep your eye on the runner who starts out in 2nd place) Did you see what happened? Heather Dorniden was in 1st place and on her last lap, she tripped and fell. She had to basically re-run that race in one lap. But the race didn't end there. She picked...

Breaking up with my maternity shirts
