There came a point in my life that I looked around

There came a point in my life that I looked around and saw that everyone had a blueprint including me. The word “blueprint” was exposed to me later, but the concept is this: we each have an idea of how life “should” be. And we do everything within our personal power to make our reality match our blueprint. Most people have a blueprint of living a good life. Getting a good job that will pay an honest wage and hopefully cancel the pressure of bills, have a family, a house, a community, etc. My blueprint at the time was: have babies. Raise em. Fix cute lunches. Be a wifey who kept a good home. Dabble in some stuff here and there, but really I wanted that home life. My blueprint was challenged when I had Moses. He rocked me. #postpartum was ... hard. First timers feel me. It was at some point in the middle of the night when it felt like the world was silent and it was me and my designer 😉. It dawned on me (pun intended) that motherhood would absolutely be my primary life for the next 18 years + BUT* motherhood is a hat, not an identity. My description of an identity is more about who I was created to BE, the person under that hat. Under the hat of mom, under the hat of coach, under the hat of sister, daughter, wife, friend. The person, stepping into what they are called to do, is a purpose. The WAY of doing it is a passion. The WHO of doing it is a purpose.

And it was then that I realized, my blueprint changing is completely up to me. My calling (passion) of selling essential oils and teaching people how to sell essential oils is only that. A passion. My purpose is stepping into that role being the person I was created to be.

And that gave me the freedom to change my blueprint. To change the “way” it went down. To change the “how”. And ultimately change the outcome and possibility.

I said yes to what it might look like to actually dream big. What it would actually look like to play big. In the arena. Shaking. Scared. Trying. Potentially failing.

I changed my blueprint to expect a life of calling and passion.

And here I am on the funnest (yes it’s a word) ever journey changing and expanding and growing my blueprint every day.

Here’s to dreaming big 🥂

Amazing story. Yesterday I took Avalon to get he

Amazing story.

Yesterday I took Avalon to get her bloodwork done at childrens mercy. When I got there they said they couldn’t do it because one of the paperwork was not signed. Also they weren’t in our network so it was going to cost $400 instead of $40.

I left with tears because they are the only place I could find to use pediatric vials.

I went to pick up a fan that I had purchased on an online auction and the only other lady there was wearing a quest shirt.

I asked her if she worked there and she said yes. I asked her if we could order pediatric vials and she told me the SINGLE location that has them.

I booked an appt right then and there online and we got it done today. 🥹🙏😭❤️ #nocoincidence

Avalon did so good. Of course she cried. Of course it was hard but the phlebotomists did amazing.

Eli however got up afterward and went and passed out in the waiting room and hit his head on the corner of the door on the way. 😳❤️ a man caught him …. Saved him from falling.

He said “you looked like a drunk coming out of the bar” 😅

Eli has eaten candy and is better. Now we wait for Avalons results!

It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 years. August 13 is always full of emotions for me. 🥹 I don’t really have anything magical to say about it except the waves still come 9 years later.

I’ll never get over the sheer shock I felt when

I’ll never get over the sheer shock I felt when they weighed that little Mack truck and said “TEN POUNDS FOUR OZ”.

😳 and guess what ! He was my easiest birth.

I guess it has way more to do with mindset and position than weight anyway.

It’s the hard truth but dang does it fire me up.

It’s the hard truth but dang does it fire me up. Let’s go boys. I mean girls. Let’s show our kids what it looks to chase our dreams and goals.

That was fun!!!! Thanks @vangoghkc for having us ❤️

Throw back to when I brought Lennon home from the

Throw back to when I brought Lennon home from the hospital and had a 1 year old. Yesterday I took Mack and Avalon to her bloodwork apt and left the older 2 with my sister in law. It was wild how easy it was with “just the two”…. But then I look back at my level of overwhelm with “the 2” and it really makes me think how WE CANNOT COMPARE challenges. They’re not the same for each other.

My challenge is not the same as yours, even if it’s the same. I cannot say “why can’t you xyz…. I have the same xyz and I …” etc.

I think it’s a great reminder to always give ourselves and others so much more grace because we really just don’t know.

Am I alone? 😅

Please send love and prayers to Avalon who is abou

Please send love and prayers to Avalon who is about to get blood drawn for the first time. She has had a rash for about seven or eight weeks and her lymph nodes are fluctuating up-and-down. huge gratitude to Dr. Kerri Lyn Howerton with modern health Kc who has really cared more than anybody else that we’ve seen ❤️❤️❤️❤️

PS, don’t mind the diaper upside down in her cupholder. LOL she spilled her drink and I didn’t have any paper towels 😂😂😂

On Friday I was in a car accident and I’m totall

On Friday I was in a car accident and I’m totally fine (as well as the other party.)

It was a “person swerved to exit at the last second” leaving everyone to slam on their breaks and would you know I was turning the volume knob on my radio down at that exact second which was the split second I needed to avoid hitting the person in front of me 😭🙏 I felt so bad. But they were so gracious and realized why I had no chance to break fast enough with how fast it all happened.

Anyway, when the police officer arrived he had me give him my information in his car. I was sitting there in his mobile office (lol) and on the radio a call came in…

A five year old child was hit by a vehicle.
My heart sunk and tears started to stream down my face. He answered his officer buddy’s question about what to code it and then hung up and said “sorry about that” as if he had inconvenienced me with the time the phone call took.

I was shaken up because it was the first time I really realized how INSANE and challenging the job our first responders gave. They see it ALL. the hardest of hard, the saddest of sad. And they see it every day, all day.

I just wanted to say thank you to our first responders. You are incredible super humans. I’m so thankful for what you do in a world that has so many emotions 😭🙏❤️
