Adventures of Health, Wellness and Balanced Lifestyle

With THANKSGIVING coming up which in my family is major family time I get so excited to catch up with them.  I want to remind people of this be THANKFUL for everyone and everything in your life.  I try and always have a realistic approach to life events like well this happened but, this could have be way worse type attitude and too see the silver lining in everything regarding life/life events.  Lately, I feel like I have been tested so frequently Im missing the bigger picture with things I cannot control others and their actions around me, but I can control how I respond to them.  Great lesson to learn this time of year especially with the holidays coming up.  SO take everything you've been dealt and pour a cup of THANKFULNESS, GRATITUDE and GRACE and remember that life is about what you can GIVE others not what they CAN GIVE YOU. Best Coach Felicia Have a Blessed and HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  I will still be responding to emails and clients until next Tuesday but there will not

For the most part the people who follow this are already on my work page and know that I post things to social media only if I find them helpful and inspirational in general.  My personal page is much like my work page as it generally shares the same content and photos of my life.  Lately Ive found myself cutting ties with people on social media because of a few reasons I find the content negative or I don't even communicate with these people unless its through social media.  Lately Ive been really ridding myself of social media use and thinking to myself when did it become so important for me to tell the world what Im doing and so fourth.  Not that its important to actually do this but social media as a whole has changed.  Its used to be a place to just chat and catch up on life and now its used for self esteem, stalk or bully someone.  How did it go from something so positive to something so negative and then when we don't have that contact we freak out in general! When did

So over the past few weeks Ive done a ton of self reflection and Ive touched on this subject before but this one is mainly for my lady readers.  The idea that we have to be perfect human beings came from where?  I have no idea but were so fucking hard on ourselves.  Why do we feel the need to be a certain weight or think that we have to look a certain way to make another person happy.  These ideas are total bullshit.   Im a very strong minded woman, overly passionate about life and Im always down for a great heated conversation with others but something I cannot stand is the self fucking shaming people, mostly women like today in the locker room at the gym oh my god Im fat here and here and here, I noticed nothing on this girl so naturally I blurted out well youre not fat.  She had seen me lifting she said your all muscle and I replied with you are as well but your blinded by self shaming to see it.  As soon as I said that the tears were flowing and I was like those are happy tears yo

Last week I had the chance to get to go on travel with my husband to California while he was working.  Its not often our schedules match up or I can even take time with having a very busy schedule here but we made it happen. Ahh California treated me very well and I loved every minute of it minus the city, too me was HUGE and Im more of a country girl.  The one thing I did notice was how everyone was super happy and positive through-out the whole trip every person I came across was always happy and smiling most would attribute that to the weather and loads of vitamin D but I think its something more.  I don't think I heard one person complain about life or their respective jobs once it was pretty incredible.  So whats the west coast got that the east coast doesn't besides pretty great weather?  THEY HAVE TIME, by that I mean no one is in a rush unless youre on the interstate.  Life seems to be moving slower out there than here on the east coast and I LOVED THAT.  I didn't
