Hi! Welcome, ? I’m Therese. So glad you landed here on my site. Let’s commiserate on the ups and downs and twists and turns in our journey to happiness.
What You Will Find Here
If you decide to hang around, these are the types of things you will likely find.
Overcoming Odds/Self-Care
So many times in life we count ourselves out, whether that’s by not taking chances, being afraid to fail, or not valuing ourselves enough to give our bodies and minds the love and care we deserve.
We will talk about pushing outside of our comfort zones and overcoming odds. Odds that may be deep-seated and have been with us for years, but also how to overcome these self-imposed limitations we put on ourselves.
I can’t lose weight, I can’t run that mile, I can’t meet my goals, I can’t fix my skin, I don’t have time to make or eat meals that are good for me. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.
We will turn the I can’t into I can!
Through sharing my journey, my real-time journey we will keep each other accountable. There will be a lot of how-to content and a lot of tangible ways in which you can choose yourself. From how to be more aware of what you put in and on your body – eating healthy meals to using clean beauty, to how to stay healthy mentally and physically.
Who is this girl? And what does she know about overcoming odds and self-love?
I had a little bit a rough start, was a product of the system and I write about my foster care journey here and sprinkled throughout will be stories and lessons that have come from my past. When you experience setbacks like I did you either fall back into what it seems life has planned for you or you fight for something more. In all the fighting to prove your self-worth to yourself and others you forget how to really value yourself, to really put yourself first.
Maybe you’ve had challenges like that, maybe they were different, maybe they were later in life or maybe you just don’t value yourself as much as you should. Whatever the case, if this resonates with you I hope you join me on this journey and we can continue to grow together.
Request to be added to my Facebook group where I talk about all of these things too.
A little more about me
If you’ve gotten this far you may be wondering a little bit more about me.
I’m a mother of 5 children! Yes you read that right. I’m responsible for 5 human lives, who they will grow up to be, how they nurture their families, how they make an impact on this world ?
I’m a wife to a husband that on most days I’m pretty certain I don’t deserve (wait I’m not suppose to be talking like that – I do deserve him) and certainly don’t know what I’d do without him. I’m a friend, a confidant, a pet owner (I’ve delivered 3 sets of puppies – it’s the coolest thing ever), a student of life and everything it’s made up of, a digital marketing/technology and social media professional.
I’m not just a professional in the digital and social space, but I have a passion for it. The ability to connect to and learn from someone that is on the other side of the world, to reach people in meaningful ways with technology. I love this stuff y’all!
I’m an introvert to the core, though people that know me don’t believe it. When you know me, when I love you, I don’t shut up. I’m fascinated by the unknown and things that can’t be explained, especially astrology – where are my Scorpios at ?
I love quotes that can capture and articulate my feelings, love the beach and sand and the feeling of the sun beaming down on my skin.
Most of all I love my family and my friends and so value each one of you that will be joining me here. Onward and upward!
