Happy Saturday! ☀️
This morning didn’t go exactly as planned.
I rose with prayer, took my supplements, prepared for my Peloton ride—not once, but twice—and my knee simply wasn’t having it. UGH!
But here’s the lesson: modification is not defeat.
Instead of giving up, I adjusted the plan.
✨ Devotion, meditation, and journaling
✨ A written plan for the day
✨ A nourishing breakfast of organic pasture-raised eggs, spinach, tomatoes, and uncured low-sodium bacon
✨ A commitment to keep moving—whether that’s the treadmill, light rowing, or another knee-friendly option
As a coach, I often remind people that no matter how many tools you use—GLP-1s, weight-loss surgery, Weight Watchers, fasting, or the latest trend—none of them replace consistency.
The real transformation happens when you continue showing up, especially when things don’t go according to plan.
Today, I’m choosing progress over perfection and consistency over excuses.
That reflection led me back to a poem I recently wrote:
A Book of Testimonies—MY LIFE
I am a living testimony,
A daughter of grace,
A woman of faith,
A survivor who learned
That brokenness is not the end of the story.
Sixty-one years around the sun.
Thirty-nine years of his service and me.
Thirty-five years of covenant.
Pages filled with tears,
Pages filled with triumph,
Pages marked by loss,
Love,
Learning,
And God’s unwavering hand.
My scars became wisdom.
My pain became purpose.
My story became a testimony.
And with every chapter,
I declare: Look what the Lord has done.
“To God be the glory, great things He has done.”
Friends, your testimony is still being written. Keep showing up. Keep doing the work. Keep trusting the process. One day you’ll look back and realize that every chapter—even the difficult ones—had purpose.
