Flashback Friday with my fierce and fabulous Bella. Taken 3 years ago when I was about half way thru with chemo. The sunshine always felt good even if it made me feel a little dizzy. It meant time with Bella on the playground afters hook. . She is my WHY, my reason for being, my motivation for working hard. I'm a mom boss trying to create a life for her future. I want to show Bella that you can break glass ceilings (I hit one 16 years ago when I worked for a commercial bank) and be successful working for yourself NOT for someone else making them $$. I also want her to see that my passion is for helping people and everyday I get to give back for all the help I received. #PayItForward #MyGirl #MyWorld #EveryDayIsAGift #Survive2Thrive #BreastCancerSurvivor

I blinked and she grew up .... 💕

It's not what your dealt, but how you react to it that counts. 💥. . #bringItOn #Quote #Qotd #NeverMissAMonday #WhereIsTheCoffee #monday

Forced rest day yesterday. Low energy and a massive allergy attack that makes me feel like I have a brick in my chest. I'm doing yoga to help my breathing and if I have any energy a little extra. . I've learned to always deal with obstacles as they come, respect them for what they are worth and find the lesson that lies within. It's usually gift wrapped inside a challenge isn't it? . Have an amazing day ☀️

Float Like a Butterfly🍂; Sting Like a Bee 🐝💥🎀. . Rare opportunity to take a class given by Yogi Bryan Kest at my sanctuary @yogaflexny tonight!!! I'm so excited!!!

They won't be able to ignore you darling if you're that good 💖

My beautiful Babygirl isn't a baby anymore. Her new haircut by my gorgeous friend @hairbyhelerose turned her into a glamour tween. . I'm not ready for this!!!! 💇🏻👸🏻😳💖 . Love my girls heaps. Thank you Helen for taking such good care of Bella. She loves it!!! ✨✨✨

Think Pink = Think to make your annual Doctor's appointments no matter who you are 🎀. #tbt thank you to my beautiful friend and photographer @jenparentephoto Jen who posted this earlier today. It's from my #BreastCancer survivor photo shoot two years ago. I met Jen right here on IG and it was an amazing day. It also created a lifelong friendship.

Be Phenomenal Today ✨🙌🏼✨ . Everyday you can feel the sunshine and breathe in fresh air is a good day. It's so easy to get caught up on what's not working, the disappointments, the stress, the negativity. Just take a moment to see how amazing you are and this life really is. Everything else will fall into place. . Be PRESENT in this life. The Present is a Gift. You are a gift 😍🎁. . #mayaangelou #qotd #Survive2Thrive #BeFearless #BeYOUtiful #LifeIsBeautiful

It's not just the covers that make us girls crazy ....😳

Always do three things each day towards your goal. . I have this allergy/sinus:cold like thing going. Taking a 2 mile walk with Jazzy helped. Off to do some yoga and P90X while I have the energy. . Sometimes it's difficult to look at the overall goal. Other times it's easy to fall into the dark side of making lists because we focus on the first thing that comes to mind instead of the important thing to be done. Today I will choose three things that will help me towards my goals: 1. workout . 2. Speak to all my challengers in my HealthBet Challenge personally. Their success is important to me. . 3. Listen to personal development. I'm listening to Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. I love this author because she reminds us constantly that we are ENOUGH and to not shame ourselves. I love that! .the rest of the day will come as a frenzy once Bella gets out of school. Dance tonight too. Here we go!!

Do Tell!! I want to know!! . ============================== For me - I was given the nickname Cancer Vixen right after I was diagnosed. It gave birth to my mission #victim2vixen - I was not going to be a victim but I would be a victorious vixen. After time had passed I didn't love the nickname so much because I was no longer fighting. I had my surgeries and completed chemo. It was time to move on. . A nurse told me that if God brings me to it, He will walk me through it. Therefore I had #FaithOverFear and I still do. I write endlessly about how fearless to me means FEARING LESS and having faith to always move forward. Fearless Vixen became my nickname and it also became my team name and business identity. I'm long winded but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. 💘.

Day 1 #healthbet challenge underway. #3weekyogaretreat day 2 complete. It felt so good to stretch out my muscles especially after being so sick yesterday. I went back to my #soulmate #workout of #p90x3. Total Synergistics is complete. #Shakeology was for breakfast and I'm easing back into food after the stomach bug. Good food prep as I make dinner tonight and I can stick to the program this week. . Through the years I've watched many clients and friends and gym members who took my classes hit rock bottom then make big changes. I'm there right now. I'm so sick and tired of not having my energy and strength back that I had before I was diagnosed with cancer. I don't want anything to stop me - so it's the small changes I'll make everyday to get back to where I was and better it. I'm determined. Next time I buy new clothes will be for the smaller size - not the bigger one!!! "Small changes make the biggest difference". #LetsDoThis

1st Day of 5th Grade!!!! Good luck BabyGirl 💝 #TimeFlies #MyGirl #MyWorld

Bella joined me as I did the #3WeekYogaRetreat day 1 today. Let me clarify - she watched while I practiced yoga. Maybe someday she will actually join me. I know she does yoga at her dance studio. . It's just nice to have company when you're in the basement. It's a wreck down here but it works. I loved the #BOD yoga !!!!! It's really awesome. I am going to keep a journal on FB if you're interested!!

It's #LaborDayWeekend and the weather is cold and there's leaves on the ground. Didn't anyone tell #MotherNature that this is the unofficial end of summer?? . #StopMakingItOfficial #HoldThePumpkinSpice #FallCanWait #BringSummerBack #SlowTheFDown

It's a total chill weekend here for us. What are you doing for Labor Day Weekend?

Amazing drinks and food at @stagstaphouse STAGS after the Howard Jones show at the Paramount!! I can't believe that I've never seen a show there before. This is Tracy 💚💚 we met when we were 8 when we moved into our new house. We looked like twins back then - we still look like sister nearly 40 years later. Love this girl so much 💝. Her #friendship is a #gift. #EveryDayIsAGift #Bff #friends

I'm Wonder Woman for a Winelicious Weekend. Have a safe health and happy holiday weekend everyone. Cheers!! 🍷

#FBF to many moons ago. My baby 😍 at maybe 2 years old. Last night she had a stomach virus and she hasn't had one since she was this small. Bella even slept on the couch with me - cuz it's good to be with mommy when you don't feel good. Thankfully my little one is feeling better. This pic came up in my time hop today. I love these memories 😍

My Girl 💖 My World 💘 . When did she get so big?? #smooch
