Actually…I kind of don’t really mean, “Momcation…all I ever wanted.” But, it was what I truly NEEDED. It has been 6 months since my Dad passed on Jan 8th and since his passing, I have not really stopped to totally decompress. I started my new company Kickify on February 1st… and life has been crazy …

Competing in a Warrior Dash has been on my bucket list for a while. Of all weeks to get the crud – UGH! I was training pretty hard up until Monday of this week, then boom, no energy, and the little virus congested me up. Decided to not worry about trying to work out through …

Ya – that is me, center front with my rebel spikey haircut and my anti-frilly dress. Looking back now…what the hell was I thinking? But, I thought I looked good at the time and that was all that matters! You would think we were Southern Belles, but we were as “wicked pissa awesome” as any …
Maybe you’ll want to beat me up after you read this post, but no worries, I own what I do and say (and I’m not perfect- see where this post is going). Since we moved to the greater New Orleans area in 2007, the Saints have become our home team and we cheer for them …

Going through all kinds of trials and tribulations that are just part of life, makes you who you are. Whether something I could not control or choices I made to set my balance off, there have truly been many challenges along the way. I’m so happy now, madly in love with my husband (been together …
