Since moving to the ranch with Philip the number one question I’ve been asked is…what do you do with your day? I will say for the first couple of months I was pretty offended by that question but now I realize that it’s because I’m not exactly leading the usual life. I don’t have kids, I live out on a ranch….literally what do I do with my time?! I took this question as offensive because I was still trying to figure out the answer. Sounds about right😉.

Around January of 2015 it became VERY clear to me that my life was headed in a direction that I did not want it to go. In more areas than one…a bad relationship that, my lack of a career and my over all health. It was so hard to put the brakes on that life but I can’t even tell you how thankful I am to have done it. I basically canceled my life and started over in Austin. I was offered a job at a start up that became my home. Arrive Logistics took me from a ‘punch the clock style worker’ to higher level management. People there believed in me and made me believe in myself. I was feeling good after being there for 4.5 years and I knew I was going places. What I didn’t know was that it was to Beeville TX! Somewhere along the way in Austin when I started focusing on myself and no one else, God finally gave me the person he knew that I was worthy of. I can tell you there is no one else I would have left Austin for. Philip and I made plans and all of a sudden I knew where I needed to be.

That was a lot of vulnerability to tell you what I do with my day but I needed to say it so that I could say this. My biggest focus this last year has been on who I want to become. I’ve never had the opportunity to really look inward and figure that out. I don’t have kids but I do have 2 cute dogs and a fiance. I love that my life is about making their life better. Some may call my day to day tasks as a homemaker meaningless but they’re not. I feel like I’m resting and creating a life that God has called me to live.

Also, the FASTerWay community has been so huge for me. I’ve met like-minded women and discovered more about how I hope to help people achieve their health and wellness goals. My hope is to be a coach and have my own rounds starting asap in JAN 2021. I cannot wait to focus on this full time. Until then, I’m happy to focus on our wedding and our first holidays as a married couple. What I do with my days right now is enjoy the hell out of them!!

Side note – I heard a long time ago in a devotional that God waits to put the right person in your life when you’re ready for it. If you don’t find yourself worthy of the right person, you might do everything you can to self-sabotage. Why would he give you this beautiful gift of love if you yourself don’t even think you deserve it? I will always believe until you can truly love yourself and know you’re worthy of someone, you won’t receive the one who is meant to be. Just my thoughts.
