Celebrating the life of Yeshua with friends and family.

When I think of Yeshua, I smile first. He was smart-really smart but more than that, he was thoughtful. First words that come to mind are brilliant and kind -but not just academically. He loved science. He asked thoughtful questions. He dreamed of being in the medical field, someone who could understand the body, heal it, and help others make sense of their pain. But his brilliance also showed up in quieter ways -in his curiosity, his kindness, and the way he paid attention to the world around him. He is so much fun. We love you Yeshua

Yeshua faced more in his young life than most people ever should. A serious car accident changed the course of his story and left him bedridden for too long -years that were meant for movement, independence, and building a future. And yet, even in that unimaginable season, his life still meant something. His life still had value. His presence still mattered. He blessed all those around him with his endurance and continued Kindness.

Yeshua’s life awakened love and kindness.

Valentines Fun

Last night was full of laughter, dinner, dancing, and sweet friendships.

We talk often about the four pillars of health — nutrition, movement, resilience, and connection.

Last night checked every box.

Dancing, laughing, serving, eating and celebrating the people who make life rich.

This is what Everyone Happier and Healthier looks like. #everyonehappierandhealthier #livelifeactivated #poweredbyaxio #friends #valentines

Happy Valentine’s Day!#bigcookie

Happy Valentine’s Day

Traditions are the threads that stitch families together.

I love during the Valentine’s season, celebrating a story passed down through generations — the Valentine Cookie Grandma. And seeing all the cousins sharing their pictures of their cookie creations

What began in a little kitchen filled with sugar and love generations ago, has become something our family still carries forward today.

There’s something sacred about flour on your hands, pink sugar on the counter, and hearts baked with intention.

Here’s to family, to legacy, and to keeping sweet traditions alive — one cookie at a time. love all my family

Happy President’s Day!!

Loren took me up in a Hot Air Balloon, celebrating love month and birthday month.

Wow!! Breathtaking views, and yes I thought it was going to be terrifying traversing in an hot air balloon but it was awe inspiring and the history was incredible.

Began in 1783 during the Treaty of Paris. Animals were first to take flight in an hot air balloon and returned safely.

And we learned it’s pretty much a crash landing every time. They got it down packed. They prep for landing, kneeling down inside the basket, it bounces slides, skips, drags sideways and you climb out. Lol!

Yay!! We are excited, training and committed to #RUNMARANA

Tortolita Traverse Half-Marathon, 7 Miler in Tucson!!

Committing keeps us active and working towards healthy goals. We know this will be hard…

They are practicing to run without crutches. Running laps on the grass, safer for their falls. I love their strength!!
