Teach, read, create, lift, nap, eat, go outside… REPEAT.

My Personal Life
I live with my dog, Chloe…she is 13 and has been my ride or die. I am considering adopting a kitten- but am also torn on getting a hypoallergenic Balinese.
Fun Fact: I am the oldest of 16 grandchildren on my mother’s side of the family. 8 girls/8 boys. I love each of them fiercely and truly believe birth order destined me for a life of joy in caregiving.
What I am giving thought energy to these days:
- Continuing to build the empire I visualize my life as being
- Getting onto a good COVID season workout routine
- (currently on hiatus from my incredible gym community- Crossfit Bison– due to being high risk π¦ )
- Bringing this website to life with all the ideas that I no longer want to tell “one day” to
- Being a positive impact on every situation I enter (aiming to- at least!)
Looking forward to growing our minds by controlling our thoughts- together.
Or in the least- to having you alongside me as I do!
