I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and our frame of mind determines how much we allow ourselves to experience the beauty each day has to offer.
Almost five years ago, I was depressed, physically weak and spiritually broken. Now I feel all the blessings of a healthy life and a grateful attitude.
From positive vibes to simple pleasures- I'm sharing my thoughts on all the little things that make life truly amazing.

Mini Adventure- Weekend at the California Delta
This weekend my family and I went on a wonderful mini-camping adventure in the California Delta. Now if you’re a seasoned camper, it’s likely you wouldn’t categorize what we did as camping.

UBarre Sacramento
I love UBarre and this is from a girl who LOVES cardio. I know, most people start a blog post about exercise explaining why they hate running or can’t stand spin. But that’s not really me, at all.
