Artfully Fit and Faithful... 

I finally realized after many years of praying and searching that being a Natural Health, Fitness and Nutrition Coach is my true calling.  I truly love helping others.. and what better way to help them than with their health.  Now that Im "older" lol ... I realize how much how we treat our bodies and what we put into them.. is soo very important. God has provided all of us with natural things for our bodies that people tend to neglect because they are too busy wanting, needing and have really gotten used to "instant gratification." I, personally, don't do doctors...unless maybe a Naturopath .. or someone that truly visits nutrition .. and treats the causes ... not just the symptoms.  I literally speak to people each and everyday... telling me that their doctor gave them something... and it doesnt work, or worse yet they and are dealing with many different side effects.. that are then being given more drugs to use as treatment!! Soo very sad.  I literally watched my own parents ... pass away from prescription drug addiction ..  their last years were spent and dictated by various different doctor appointments continuously taking different prescriptions in hopes of getting free of some type of ailment, relieving pain, or changing something.  Just very sad.  So after living through that ... I decided that I WOULD NOT subject myself to that kind of life .. I would dedicate my life to learning, researching, studying everyday to promote, teach, and help others to change ... to realize and understand that taking care of our bodies... treating them as temples as instructed by God himself is truly how we should be.

FAITH, FOOD .... FOCUS ... FITNESS

God wants US .. to completely trust HIM with EVERYTHING in our lives.... and this is includes ... how we are with our physical wellbeing as well ... not just our spiritual wellbeing ... HE has the plan ... and in continually preparing us ... but we need to do our part .... listen and follow ... being consistent .... and trying to keep POSITIVE AT ALL TIMES ..

Aloha & A Hui Hou ....... 

NEVER give up!!!

Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Its been quite the journey .. to say the least .. I have searched, struggled and now finally survived .. I have literally been following Kristi (Krosner) since July of 2011 when my Father passed and I was laid off of my job all in the same week.  I have always wanted to "work from home" but more importantly HELP OTHERS ... having the freedom you could never get from a J.O.B.... I really started looking for an opportunity quite some time ago back in 1996 when our Daughter was born on my lunch hour lol ... I remember telling my Husband that I am going to have my own business ... I didnt know what it was going to be .. but I wanted THAT FREEDOM .. that opportunity .. NOT to be tied to desk... or a time clock, the freedom to not miss time with my family, attend events without having to worry if I could get the time off.. the freedom to not have to save paycheck to paycheck for something I want or to surprise someone and take then to lunch at the last minute ... the freedom to GIVE BACK... or when I see someone who is really in need ... maybe just a meal, I can freely give a couple of dollars without thinking that I may need that money to put in my gas tank.    Back then I was very fortunate to NOT have to work but moving to Hawaii for 12 years created a different story .. so the long and short of things .. I literally tried all kinds of direct sales, home sales, home parties, cleaning products, make up & skin care only to see that I was either my own best customer, or things just didnt catch on .. ending in me going back to what I know .. and whats safe and familiar.  Essentially not thinking I could do it .. and giving up .. :(  Now seven years later ... Im beginning again .. learning ... and understanding that God has brought me back to fitness .. health ... wellness.  Soo when I first came across this coach opportunity I had also committed to getting certified as a Personal Trainer .. cause I needed health and fitness in my life .. I am in the process of finally completing that now too... You see my biggest problem along with many others ... is that I give up on myself .. too easily ... thinking Im not good enough .. not believing in myself.. I could never do this ... Im too old .. This move from Hawaii to North Carolina .. really kicked my butt in so many ways.. but it has also brought me back to my very strong FAITH ... and now believing and knowing I'm more in tune with what God wants me to do and my purpose ..finally,  I think I know now what I need to be doing ... God does have a reason for everything .. so Im truly grateful for all of you coaches and a special shout out to Kristi for always being there and being so inspirational .. and even though I am still struggling she never gives up on me .. you all keep me motivated always to have me back in...   I have been approached by so many opportunities of every kind .. I truly believe the I have come full circle ..back to health, wellness and fitness.. IM BACK .. and will be rejoining you coaches once again ... not quite sure when but very soon.. Im proud to talk and represent such an awesome company filled with so many inspiring members.  My most important motivation is to be there for my clients .. and really helping them with their journey .. achieving their goals ... and feeling great inside and out .. God has given me a love, yearning, passion and desire.   Like my Daughter reminds me now .. like we taught her .. and NOW I must continually remind myself .. "Whatever you put your mind to .. you can do.." "What your mind believes you can achieve."  I will have the true freedom ... to be learning and earning every day ... " Have an AWESOME day!!! 💪🏽💙

Never Give up!!!

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!

I definitely CANT SAY IT ENOUGH!!!

Aloha Y'all ... Its been such a crazy journey ... BUT the most important thing I have learned through these last at least 7 years and more recently .. is put the Lord first ... Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."  Its been quite the journey ... to say the least ... I have searched, struggled and now finally survived.  I have literally been following Kristi since 2011 ... when my Father passed and was laid off of my job all in the same week.. I have always wanted to "work from home" but most importantly HELP OTHERS .. and have the freedom you could never get from a "JOB" ... I really started looking for an opportunity back in 1996 when my Daughter was pretty much born on my lunch hour ... lol I told my Husband that I am going to have my own business ... i didnt know what it was going to be ... but I wanted THAT FREEDOM .. that opportunity ... to NOT be tied to a desk ... or a time clock ... Back then I was very fortunate to be able to NOT HAVE to work.. but moving to Hawaii for 12 years .. a different story ... so the long and short of things .. I have literally tried just about every type of direct sales, home sales, home parties, cleaning products .. makeup ... (of every kind) I also do my own artwork, painting, drawing, pet portraits, sewing ... you name it i've tried it ... and I was either my own best customer .. or it just didnt catch on... Soo when I first came across Beachbody I had just also committed to getting certified as a Personal Trainer ... cause I really needed health and fitness in my life ... and will be FINALLY completing this very shortly  ... but my biggest problem was dropping or putting on hold ... anything and everything to take care of others ... or as I was told ... I give up on myself too easily .. We recently make a major move from Hawaii to North Carolina ... I believe Ive gotten more in tune with what God is directing me ..my purpose ...and direction ..  I am now at the point where I've finally decided its time FOR ME but in no means... not in a selfish way... I keep thinking if I would have stuck with it when I first found out about BeachBody I believe things could have been really different today ... but more importantly I am also a true believer in GOD DOESNT MAKE MISTAKES ... EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON .. soo I am truly grateful for all of you BeachBody Coaches and a special shout out to Kristi .. for always being there and being so inspirational ... and even though I am still struggling .. she never gives up on me... you all keep me motivated to NOW stick with this  ... I have been approached by sooo many other "weight loss/nutritional " companies ... but even at the best comparison .. I come back to BeachBody and feel that its the BEST for me 💙💪🏽..  I'm proud to talk and represent such an awesome company  .. My most important motivation is to be a successful Coach to truly help others .. inside and out ... and to be there for my clients... I truly believe I have now come full circle .. back to health, fitness and wellness .. God has given me a love, yearning, passion and desire to help others with THEIR fitness journey ... like my Daughter reminds me now .. as this is what we have always taught her ..  and Now I NEED to constantly remind myself ..."Whatever you put your mind to you can do ... What your mind believes .. you can achieve ... and have the true freedom ... to be learning and earning every day .. !!! 💙💙 Thank you so much for listening ...Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Everyday is a Journey...

Everyday is a journey ...  we all are trying to accomplish things in our lives.. trying to get somewhere ... trying to be someone .... look like someone ... trying to "be" someone... Who are YOU trying to be???  I tried for years to figure out what I was going to be when I grew up... ???

Soo many choices.. so many decisions.. so many paths to chose... Like that old saying ... If I knew then what I know now statement .... yea... a definite loaded statement.. but I guess it all comes down to something I was told ... long ago... "If you want it bad enough... you'll do it!"  You see NOTHING but our own self-talk and excuses stand in our way... We (including myself) when we get in a rut ... gotta stop makin excuses....  just get goin... STAY FOCUSED and DETERMINED... IT WILL HAPPEN... 

Have a super great day!!! <3

Aloha & A Hui Hou... 

Don't give up... Never give up... 

I've been struggling for the last few months.. and woke up this morning.. and read this... which verified ... what the company that I stand for really means to me .... "NEVER GIVE UP" ... is this year's theme for BeachBody...   there is a reason... why I still keep coming BACK to BeachBody...  and I want to live their great motto ... "Never Give Up"..  

Summer vacation in North Carolina was waaay too short .. although the time was actually longer than I've spent in North Carolina .. in past years.. Its hard to believe that this time next year will be even more different than anything I've ever experienced.. lots of growing changes... for me and all of our family... 

Talk about lots of work ahead.. for me.. 

My BeachBody business... not just another hobby .... It IS MY BUSINESS 

.. that channels my desire as a Coach to encourage and truly support fitness, health and wellness ... helping others feel great and achieving their health and fitness goals as well.. but more importantly .. challenging them to change their lives as well and possibly encouraging them to create a business for themselves.. if that is what they desire... But thats just it.. BeachBody.... is a great health, wellness and fitness lifestyle.. but can open up new doors to a wonderful future in a business as well. 

In the past.. 

I've always LET others stop.. discourage .. and change my mind for any stupid reasons ... I always tended to be the person to please others.. and do what OTHERS thought I should do....But more importantly, what I've learned about myself.. that its OK to go after WHAT I WANT... and if I put my mind to it ... I truly can accomplish ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING...  

Being a "People Person" .. used to be a common saying.. years ago.. with those who were just beginning their careers.. but this is an absolutely true statement for me.. I really do enjoy helping others ..  this is totally why I became a "Coach!!!"

I absolutely despise when people tend to put a limit on success just because of age...  "You're too old... Act your age..."  and the like .. I completely understand where people may have "used" to think this ... in years past.. but now in today's world .. "The sky is literally the limit!!!"  However, it takes great drive, determination and desire for anyone to achieve a goal.. but I think "Believing in yourself" .. is sooo very important..  I had a super difficult time with this very thing growing up.. but after having found a great love and encourager, my Husband of 30 years,  surely finally set me on my way.. Don't get me wrong, this new positive mindset didn't come about overnight....   . I'm still in the beginnings of a great transformation . I believe everyone is ..  .. Lets face it, we ALL are transforming... and evolving.. everyday... making new goals, plans, discoveries ...victories and failures.  Believing in yourself... is so very KEY... to anyone's success.. and a super important piece to the puzzle.  

We all get into ruts... and disbelief... and doubt..  falling into old negative habits and self talk.. is soo easy .. if WE DONT STAY STRONG... This is why I chose to be a BeachBody Coach.. My BeachBody family keeps me encouraged... and shows me support.. so when this Coaching opportunity ... came up during a very down time in my life... I knew this is what I wanted to do.. Now... I have to take some of my OWN medicine... lol I've become slack and slid into old negative self talk.. and not believing that I could do this

So I've decided to recommit myself literally.   

.. to take care of myself and like God requests us to do .. treat our body like a temple... Along with my own progress.. I am focusing .. on my business and start treating it as such.  You know what they say.. if you treat your business as a hobby thats what it will be..  

I know with my strong faith in God... that I can do this.. 

The sky is the limit you know!!!

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

Hmmmm.... What an awesome theme affirmation for BeachBody 2014 this year "Never Give Up!!" ...  I began this 21 Day Fix...

            and like they say "nothing in life is easy"...  I have had a few struggles... but now that the challenge over with... it has been quite positive....  I love the portion control... and the way we can share each others accomplishments and struggles.. oh yea awesome recipes too... 

 I find that the a really exciting and supportive thing we have together as BeachBody Coaches .. is one of our Three Vital Behaviors... is Personal Development.. its sooo keeey to help you through EVERYTHING..   There are so many negative things going on in this world.. and we can't let our negativity... or anyone else's get in our way... but more importantly... engage in positive reinforcement .. through Personal Development each and everyday... even if its a short time everyday... it truly makes a world of difference... trust me I've learned.. My first thing is to pray.. that I can be the best Wife, Mother, Friend, Encourager.. which kind of makes me a all the way around Coach!!!  So praying and seeing what God's message is for me in the Bible.. each day.. gives me a great start.. 

trust me I've learned the hard way... then we as Coaches share our Personal Development reads with each other..  I've been carrying around this book for a couple of weeks now.. but the last few nights have really gotten into it... makes soooo much sense...  Working with BeachBody.. I've learned soo much not just for the business.. but for my everyday life.. "All things work together for good... " is something that has gotten me through so many things in my life.. that and a strong faith in God... 

Okay... lets be fit and be strong... enjoy your weekend...

Aloha & A Hui Hou...
