Ever wonder why some people have tattoo's all over their body? The truth is, once you get one tattoo, you want a second and then a third. It's an addiction for some. For others, a tattoo is a personal symbol. I put my first tattoo is above my heart, and it's a banner of my late niece, Mercedes. I do not regret getting this tattoo, but, I can think of many different designs I could do with her name- and I may redesign the banner one day. She is above my heart because that is where she'll always be. Hers is the only name that'll ever have permanently etched in my skin. I've always known that I wanted a second tattoo, and I'd like to have it in time for my fortieth. Certain members of my family have expressed their strong opinions. My niece in particular. She is six, and her opinions matter to me, and I don't want to be a negative influence on her - but - when she told me her real reason for disapproval was because her "mommy said no," I had t...

I love music. I can't live without it. As a matter of fact, I'd rather have music on all day than television. As much as I love movies, there's something about music that hits my soul, and since MTV no longer plays cool music videos, the television is turned off more than the computer. These days, I'm addicted to Spotify- on my cell phone and PC. I'm also a huge fan of the iHeart  Radio show, Sixx Sense (save that opinion for another blog!). As much as I love music, I do not dance, at least, not anymore. Sometimes I miss it- but obviously not enough. I run, I practice yoga, that's enough. But more importantly, I'm shocked I'm not investing time learning how to play the guitar. It is seriously my favorite instrument, and if you ask me what my favorite genre of music is, the real answer is rock and roll and country. Why? Because, it involves a lot of guitar. Heavy guitar, bass and acoustic guitar. Confession, when I hear a song with strong guitar I...

Never Give Up The worst decision you'll ever make is to give up on yourself. That includes your health. So many people misunderstand the fitness industry, they assume that fitness is just a leisure hobby for the young, single and rich. The internet has done a lot to inspire many, yet, where there's good, bad is one step behind. For every good deed you do, there's a critic. Sure, the internet is filled with a lot of false information; or contradicting information-- but that's not an excuse to give up on taking care of yourself. Despite political opinions on the health care coverage, we now have insurance to help us in a few different ways, and how we choose to use the help to our advantage is our responsibility. There are far too many ways to stay in good health, and there is a unique way for each of you to stay on top of your own health goals. Do not do what others do. It is a mistake to believe that if I can do this- so can you. Your life is different than mi...

Sure, we live differently when we're single. We do what we want, when we want and don't have many boundaries. Truth is, a lot of us single women do have boundaries, and self-control. Singles are often accused of being "insecure"- "too picky" - or "too independent." That is far from the truth for so many. I can only speak for myself, and I say, if I were insecure or afraid of rejection, then I'd be with Mr. Wrong. And that, is far worse than living single. Single life at thirty-nine is very different than single life in your twenties. At thirty-nine, we are content with many parts of ourselves, and our lives. The part of me that I love the most, is often feared by many. People assume my ambition, passion and commitment to my fitness goals is intimidating. Fitness is a lifestyle, I do not do it to keep myself busy. I do it because it's my way of life. I'm not where I used to be, but, the purpose of this blog is to discuss the p...
