For us, here in Calgary, Thanksgiving weekend was greeted with a snow fall. The kids headed outside to make their first snowman of the season. Truthfully, life hasn't been so easy the past week. I swear it has been handing me challenging situations daily. The reason I am telling you this is because I want my blog to be the truth and I want it to be an authentic, digital copy of myself. Social media has a way of creating unrealistic expectations of what life is "supposed" to be. I don't want my blog posts to create social media envy, I do it to allow you glimpses of my life in the hope that it will encourage you to truly live out what YOUR ideal life looks like. My dream is to inspire you to live authentically so you don't feel the need to keep up with the Joneses.

Thanksgiving is one of my, if not my, favorite holiday. A holiday that pushes us to come together and be in the present moment, all while encouraging you to acknowledge what you are thankful for. I believe that being more present, more externally abundant for the things in your life is the foundation for a good life. Being present changes your reality and how you experience your life. The world today has given us an unbelievable opportunity.  Literally, we have so much information at our fingertips with things like cell phones, computers, and the internet. But still, we are all getting trapped in our thoughts about either our past or our futures, that job, that house, that relationship that _______. We get stuck on where we are trying to go and where we want to be, that we are all running through life on autopilot and missing out on what is. I believe stress comes from resisting the present moment. We all need to stay more present on a daily basis because happiness is in the journey. The day you get that house, that relationship, that whatever it may be to you, is only a moment in time. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome to have intention on where you want to get, but ask yourself, do you want to throw away years of your life because your mind was so stuck on the end result? Don't get trapped in your thoughts and don't allow the present moment to become a means to an end. Finding joy, gratitude, and happiness right now is where the good life comes from. Don't let your destination take up most of your attention because you will only miss out on the journey, the journey makes up the majority of your life. Life is too damn precious to throw away. 

So today I want to share what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for my husband who is literally always there for me. Jason, you truly are my biggest fan, you encourage me to be my best and love me at my worst. I love you!! My kids, Jack, Olive and Forest, you guys bring a love to my life that is eternal, all while challenging me harder than anyone else. You are my endless motivation and inspiration to be the best person I can be because I know that the more intelligent, more skilled, the happier I am, only allows me to add more value to your lives and others. Last but not least I am so grateful for you. You who is reading this. You keep me accountable and allow me to live out my dream of inspiring others to find happiness every single day. It has brought a sense of freedom to my life I can't even explain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi, everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic day. This morning I was reflecting on what I am grateful for, as I usually do. I started thinking back to about a year ago around this time. I wasn't in a very healthy place, then. I was a mother of 3, my youngest, Forest was about 4 months old, Olive was 2 and Jack was 9. I was struggling with one of my largest eczema flare up's I've ever had. My body was 80% covered in raw eczema patches and I was going through a bad case of vertigo. My condition was in control of all aspects of my life: mentally, physically and spiritually. When you don't have control of your own health, life can start to feel really dark. Today, I found myself thinking back, to what is so different from then and now and felt the need to share my story.

People always ask me for my secret cream or pill that I used to heal my skin.  There is no pill or cream! Honestly, I believe my healing started between my ears, in my mind. Don't write me off quite yet, I know that using your mind sounds like a crazy hippy thing to stay but hear me out. Think about it. Have you ever had a time where things had gotten so bad in your life, health-wise, relationship-wise, work-wise where you had no choice but to change? For me, that was my skin. I had no control over my health and the way I felt. Little tasks such as taking a shower was a huge ordeal. So the choice between eating bad or feeling better was easy. Every time I felt the urge to binge on a chocolate cake I reminded myself how horrible it felt when I abused my body and was covered in eczema. When you're able to create a story in your head where the outcome outweighs the short term pleasure you are capable of doing anything.

So in short, what you and I focus on, massively affects how we feel. Your feelings are what guide your decisions and beliefs. To quote Tony Robbins; "Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives." The purpose of this blog post is to show everyone that your perspective, the story you're telling yourself is what controls your results. Basically, if I continue to tell myself that healing my skin was too hard and too hopeless, then I had already planned out my result. Hence I would have always chosen to act on my skin never healing. Success is 80% psychological and 20% mechanics. If you constantly focus on what you can't control, what's missing from your life, or what's happened in the past, you won't feel anything but overwhelmed, depressed and hopeless. Remember, it's our beliefs, the stories we put in our head that guide our decisions. My healing started the day my reasoning and perspective changed. Health is a choice and if I wanted it, I needed a reason bigger than my issue. Don't wait for a rock bottom to change. Know what rock bottom is and have that give you the drive to prevent it. 

I believe our health is the most important topic of our life. Which is why I direct all my attention towards it too, in this blog. Physical, mental and spiritual health. Health is wealth. Today I have so much gratitude for my body, the decision to take my health into my own hands has changed my life forever. I make conscious choices when it comes to my body. I keep it moving. I connect with my food, it is what nourishes me. I love my body, it's what is going to get me to the end of my life. I, personally don't want to put anything into my body if it doesn't serve it physically, mentally or spiritually. I encourage you to take a moment to feel grateful for your body. Here is a quote I love from fullyrawkristina; 

"Care for your body as if you were caring for someone you love deeply. You would hold their hearts in your hands with absolute tenderness and caution because you would never want to see them hurt, sick, or in pain. Care for yourself as if you were caring for others; forget not that YOU matter too. Your mind, body and spirit grow with each act of self-care you achieve. WE NEED MORE LOVE on this planet. It starts with YOU. Show kindness and compassion to all beings, including yourself. Eat well. Love deeply. Live fullyraw.
