I never could’ve imagined getting the physical results I did. That a body transformation challenge would so drastically help transform all areas of my life. I said “no” to a lot of excuses, habits, foods, distractions and other past priorities during the challenge. I discovered that what I got out of the challenge equally matched […]
BlogWhen was the last time you played? For me, it was just this past week. Unintentionally. I took an hour or so of my afternoon to fit in a bike ride on a beautiful, clear, hot sunny day. I headed west on the bike trail that’s located directly behind my house. The trail runs along […]

BlogI’m just an ordinary girl. But I wasn’t born ordinary. I was literally EXTRA ordinary. I had an extra pinky finger – six fingers on my left hand – eleven fingers in total. My mom said one of the nurses gasped when I came out, startled by my abnormality. My mother cried out in a […]
