With everything on my plate, trying to have a life outside of those things, while making myself available to spend time with family and friends... and well... you know. ;-) One thing's for sure, at the end of the day, finding a good balance (if there is such a thing) is a job in itself and if balance does exist, it doesn't mean that my time is accessible or distributed equally either. I'm passionate about discovering new ways to truly value and love my temple at every stage of life beyond the unrealistic beauty standards that have been set by the industry that I'm also passionate about.
I'm unapologetically taking care of me first, meaning no matter what is going on around me, I'm going to:
1) Eat all 3 meals a day (snack in between)
2) Take a nap when I feel the need
3) Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night
4) Not be attached to my phone
5) Limit my accessibility
6) Workout at least 4 days a week, sometimes twice a day. I run, swim, bike, hike, do strength and toning, pole, and flexibility workouts. No I won't be recording any of my workouts, I work out to decompress which is a must for overall health and well-being. I loathe people who are inconsiderate of others in public gyms and always have their cameras out to record their workouts, I don't want to be an unsuspecting extra in your quest for viral status and followers. #MoveBitchGetOutTheWay ~Ludacris
Yeah I slip up from time to time, being perfect isn't my goal, adjusting accordingly and prioritizing is a must. as well as setting clear boundaries.
I'm far from an expert, and not doing this for anyone other than myself to help me figure out what that (fill in the blank is) hoping that it helps me find clarity. Writing has always been a passion of mine so I'm viewing this as a release. I'm gonna do some interviews with those I follow and/or admire who "appear" to have that one or multiple areas in life together that I'm still figuring out or want to improve upon; I'll also have a few guest bloggers.
Who knows, maybe there is someone who's reading this that can share some pointers to help me improve or is in the same space as I am. I'll be sharing small glimpses into my private life here...maybe! lol And how I keep it all together and put it back together when things unexpectedly shift while (DE-FI)ning and re(DE-FI)ing who I AM.

I have a loud laugh, deep thoughts, and a passion for life. This is no self-help section. Just living for the moment and sharing things that caught my eye and thoughts that crossed my mind. And maybe raise a little Hell in the process.
I love food, I love...ok I like to exercise, I love tattoos, I crave intimacy (and no this isn't just being sexual and sexually active). Yes, sex is awesome...with the right person. I'm in need of spiritual connection, deep conversations, laughter, being held, having fun, growing, and a kiss on the forehead when it comes to the man in my life...wherever he is! lol I'm a sucker for a good nap. However, have you read everything that I do? Finding that balance, if there is a thing is important. Some days I'm popping on all cylinders, and others I'm just here but not present. While the space I'm in is interesting, it's also a good space because I know this a part of my growth and preparation for future chapters in life that I have been and am preparing for. And well let's face it regardless of what we go through in life our bodies are on the receiving end of it.
They say laughter is the best medicine, well, so is prayer, meditation, our environment, our relationships and being comfortable enough to take a moment to truly embrace who you are. No, I'm not going all guru and Oprah on you, however, have you ever felt the bottom fall out or have thing crash all around you, yet you were still at peace because there is something deep down inside of you that can't be explained that lets you know that everything is going to be ok? Sometimes we just need a little inspiration to help keep our spirits lifted and in the right place.
