I already knew the kettlebell was one of the best fitness tools out there. I knew it had made working out fun again. I knew it was responsible for making my core the strongest it has ever been. I didn’t know it would become a tool God would use to further shape and challenge me. [...]
First things first. What the heck is a girevik you ask? It’s a kettlebell lifter. Now the real reason I write this post. THANK YOU. Truly. We all have busy lives and there are millions of blogs so I don’t take it for granted that you spend a few minutes to read my ramblings Thank [...]
hand. Does anyone else find that SpongeBob episode hilarious? Anyone? Anyone? I bet this girl does. Unlike Sponge Bob things aren’t so funny right now in my life. I have two days until the Russian Kettlebell Challenge and the scale has been erratic. Up and down. Up and down. My body is bi-polar. (Oh wait, [...]
This weekend I spent my first weekend alone in my house EVER. We won’t talk about how old I am and how SCARED I was. Nor will we talk about how I refused to let anyone on Facebook know I was home alone for fear that I might be friends with a closet creeper. Ya, [...]

(Source) Intentional. I want my life to be intentional. I’m a pretty simple person but I don’t want to wake up in 35 years only to realize that I never hoisted my sails. I may not be able to control the wind (A realization that I’m still throwing a tantrum over.) but I can control [...]
My love, I’ll never understand how I got so lucky. You know there are no photos or words that could ever adequately express my love and appreciation but I’ll do my best. THANK YOU….. …for going through life with me …for the thousands of kisses you’ve given us. …for the willingness to play …for taking [...]
That’s a lot of alliteration. I had almost forgotten my little birthday present to myself that I have yet to “enjoy”. My upcoming RKC certification. I got an email from Dragon Door yesterday reminding me of the requirements. Oh yes….those. Can I confess something? I’m nervous. I was nervous for the one day HKC certification. [...]
