What am I going to do with my one precious life? I don’t know where that came from but it happened this evening after eating salami and crackers and doing laundry. What am I going to do with my one precious life? *Be true to who I am. I lost her. Me, Danielle, years ago. But, I am slowly finding her. Each day is precious, imperfect, beautiful... Exploring what makes me smile and tick.... This one precious life is meant to be lived! #travel #sports #family

Getting There 🌺🌸🌺. The smiles are real 🌸🌺🌸. Live in the Moment 🌼 Be true to you 🌷 Hug your babies and accept that they make fun of us no matter what we do ! ( “Mom, you make it so easy to make fun of you” ). 🌺. Try new things you’ve always wanted to try even if it seems impossible... 🌷make ice your friend ... yes, ice your friend... (especially if you try to get back to the gym and attempt to surf and tumble off into the waves and twist your knee) 🌻. Say what you m

Those of you that know me well know I’m always busy in some way.  I seem to never stop.  I work hard, play hard, keep my commitments to my family and to my friends.  The last six months or so I’ve been running, running, running!  I try to have that down time but I notice when it’s too quiet or too mellow I become anxious and uneasy.  I would catch myself crying at odd times?  Car commutes, yoga class, and periods of time when my thoughts are mine.  I didn’t quite understand m

Ive told you I’d update you about my progress on my health journey. I’m doing my best to be physical at least four times a week. This does not include walking to the refrigerator, running to the bathroom, or naked activities ( threw that in for shock value). I was loving my trainer Sandy at the gym but my schedule became hectic which effected my mind and insomnia so I went to my #groupon app and searched out nearby hot yoga offers. I targeted helping my mind and my scar ti

I Want to be your shadow and follow you everywhere... if I could, I would...#travel #sports #family #love #wellness #beaches

With you... I can bring light in where it is dark With You I can breakaway from the feeling of my broken heart With You My thoughts will be cleared  of the shadows that lurk in the corners of my mind With You My skin is warmed from the touch of the sun that lies above you.... With You My days that tear me apart disappear from the simple breaths I take With You I can heal, dream, live, forgive With You 🌊 #travel #relationships #selfcare #sports #surfing

Welp!  I told you I’d keep you up to date on my fitness journey.  I need to call my journey something different because I’m not an Instagram “ fit” chick!  I’m just the somewhat average aging woman who wants to keep somewhat active, try new things, look half way decent in jeans, and not throw up when I look at myself naked in front of a mirror!  Is that asking for too much!?!  My heart and mind is there because it’s young and immature 😜 but my body is pissing me off!  My ado

It’s happened.  I’m not sure if you’ve done this but a girl, probably 20ish, asked me how old I was?  I stuttered!  I couldn’t remember how old I was!  I finally blurted it out but after telling her my age I threw out what my Mom use to say! “ 39 and holding!”  She said I was cool and liked my hair... Do I ever wish I was 39!  I definitely would have made a few changes!  But that’s okay people!  It’s never too late to make changes or try new things. For some reason we get cau

One morning I woke up and something clicked, I was done with anyone or anything that does not bring me Peace, Opinions from others does not really matter because everyone has one. That day things just changed.  I believed in myself, trusted my intuition, and began living life! Happiness is not in the hands of another, it’s from within...Watch out!  Im unstoppable!! #iswearyougotthisgirl #travel #betruetoyou #selflove #sports

A few weeks ago I attempted something I haven’t tried in years!  Surfing 🏄‍♀️!  My neighbor Jen has asked me multiple times to come out with her and she’d teach me.  I always had an excuse of some reason not to go.  I was either working,  unpacking, or had some lame excuse not to go.  Maybe I was afraid of getting out there and giving it a shot?  Or maybe I was afraid of looking silly and uncertain in an area I had absolutely no clue about.  Surfing? I’m a decent swimmer tha

So sweet! I am grateful to have such caring and loving people in my life. They pick me up when I feel like Giving up. Life is more than $ and things you accumulate. Life is the relationships you build, butterfly kisses, bike rides, sunsets after a rough day that you want behind you. It’s receiving multiple texts and calls from those that truly care and know you deserve the stars! Grateful for those that stood by me when I admitted I couldn’t be perfect anymore and embraced al

I had to listen to these lyrics a few times. It’s about getting to that point, that breaking point.... and then something happens to give you that extra push and confidence! Like you can take on anything that comes your way. “ It Isn’t In My Blood” to be a wallflower and do or keep quiet! . I refuse to live in fear and will not be bullied or controlled ever again. Move over and let me shine 😜. Positive vibes ! #empowermentofwomen #sports #travel #divorce #writer https://www.

I may be getting older but I’m still learning... I’m not finished living my life...finally not afraid to be happy. I want to hear someone whisper to me, “that they don’t want to change anything about you, I love who you are. You are my person.” #dating #relationships #travel #love #sports #jeep #beachlife

Driving the highway to Fort Lauderdale  was something I was very familiar with.  It may have been an hour drive to meet you in person for the first time but we’ve been flirting on the phone and texting for a couple of months.  I was not prepared for what was ahead of me.....   The commute seemed to take forever.  The flat, straight lines on the road seemed to go on forever.  When I arrived to my destination according to the WAZE app I was more than ready to hop out of my #j

It’s been a tough year for me. I’m going through a lot of changes in my life as I know it. I’ve worked hard to keep things in order but other things suffered here and there. I also went through a break up from someone I care very deeply about. Life has become way to overwhelming and I’ve really had to dig deep for strength all around. Thank goodness for the support of my daughters and the love I receive from people close to me. Seeing my Grandbaby is a gift for sure. Ma

Tracing the lines of your fire Soothes my mind Soothes my Soul for a moment of time I feel a sense of calm He has his vendetta I just yearn for peace... please put your revenge aside.... please no more Tracing the lines of your fire #writer #travel #sports #changes

I'm actually not sure how to even start this Blog of mine and why I even think anyone would read it! To be honest, as a little girl I dreamed of being a veterinarian or a writer of some type. Thinking back I thought Vets took care of dogs by playing with them and nursing them back to health in some way. I didn't know they were actually doctors? Blood and all! yuk! The writer thing? Well, it was an escape for me when I was told I was horrible in Algebra in 8th grade.
