Seeing Drew Brees achieve lifelong dream inspires me

Seeing Drew Brees achieve lifelong dream inspires me
Like any other football night, I half watch the game because it’s really not my thing. I just like watching with my husband.  But seeing Drew Brees become the NFL’s all time passing leader gave me hope and inspired me immensely.  I wrote that it was his lifelong dream to do this but the reality...

3 reasons why the Bears are gonna get killed tomorrow against the Seattle Seahawks

Katy Perry is the real MVP of Super Bowl 49!
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m one of those people who had no clue who was playing in the Super Bowl. If it’s not a Chicago team, I’m just not interested. And even then, I’m really not in to it; I’m just happy if my husband’s happy. Needless to say, the way the Bears played this... Read more »

    I am a wife and mother blessed to have six daughters who fill my home with love and laughter. My passion is writing and teaching, but most especially inspiring people to live healthy lives in my faith-filled fitness classes. My dream is to have my own faith and fitness TV show where people from all the world collectively join together on our "temple" building project of enjoying optimal health. I am a certified group fitness instructor by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and earned graduate degrees in Writing from DePaul University, in addition to a degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from the California University of Pennsylvania. I have seen and experienced the hand of God work and move in my life, and consider it an honor and blessing to be saved to serve.
