Living Aligned: Magic, Wellness, and Fitness for a Balanced Life
We’ve had an extremely busy couple of months in our household. My daughter had track. Three out of four kids were preparing for a tae kwon do tournament. There was the play my stepdaughter was in and her trip to Washington, D.C. It’s been go go go. Last year during track my daughter did very…
As you may remember, I mentioned awhile back that I was taking part in the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. Unfortunately, when I was about two and a half weeks or so in, I came down with a really bad flu that left me ill for a week. My husband and I both, in fact. He…
Yesterday, due to a tw0-hour delay at my kids’ schools because of the storm here in the northeast, I didn’t get a chance to write a post, wishing my daughter a Happy 13th Birthday. I was too busy making her a cake and wrapping presents among other things. I didn’t want to skip posting about…
Day-to-day life can get crazy at times. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday living and lose sight of the things around us that we should be thankful for.

This is me the day of our wedding in June. I felt good about myself that day. The best I ever have, in fact. I don’t feel that way today. I don’t most days even though I try really hard to. For awhile I was starting to feel a tiny bit better about myself and…
Today was a very special but emotional day for me, as are all days like this one. Today my son turned seven years old. And honestly, I don’t know how that’s possible. How did seven years already go by? Where did my baby go? I know in my heart he will always be my baby,…
Sunday night, while perusing Facebook before bed, I came across an update on author and podcaster P.G. Holyfield that made my eyes fill with tears and made me question why life has to be so unfair. Several weeks ago P.G. was diagnosed with a particularly vicious and fast-moving cancer…Cholangiocarcinoma. The cancer spread quickly and time seemed to…
Do you ever have one of those weeks that leaves you asking, “WTF?”? Yeah, that’s me this week…and it’s only Wednesday. It has been one thing after another. Most moments have actually been laughable now that I look back on them, but at the time, they upset me. My week thus far: Monday night: My…
I have a confession to make. I’ve had a hard time loving myself over the past two years or so. See, I’ve battled depression and feelings of worthlessness off and on for years. I’ve had good years. And I’ve had bad. The last few months before my divorce I finally started to take better care of…
