It Takes A Village

Hello everyone,  I am happy to share that we have reached a milestone - we are half way to meeting our fundraising goal! 😊 To achieve just about anything you're passionate about or something that is meaningful to your heart; it indeed, takes a village and teamwork to accomplish this.   Without my incredible team and YOUR continued help and support, none of this would be possible.  I would like to take a moment to personally thank those who continue to support this very important cause. Together we are helping each other and making a difference.  To my team ( & coach) - thank you for everything that you have done, are doing and will continue to do to help me in this journey and making this world a better place.  To the many people who have graciously invested in our journey, to this cause and to  the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) - thank you!  We still have a ways to go to meet our fundraising goal, in support o...

100 Miles, 100 Degrees

I've had people ask what is it like to train in the Texas heat? Some of their comments are: "It's way to hot, the humidity is too high. Isn't summer meant for relaxing?" All true. When the heat combines with humidity, it makes for a very uncomfortable and muggy day. Very tempting to use this as a validation to put things off a bit longer, but great things NEVER come from comfort zones.  The Katy Flatlands century bike ride...a total of 102 miles, was no different. With the weather predicted to 'feel like' 112 degrees, it definitely had some uncomfortable moments, but a great day to train for those lava fields in Kona.  Training has been going well, but I want to encourage you to find what it is that inspires YOU.  Good things take time, but it all begins with that first step, so  seek motivation each day and allow this to drive you towards your goal...and out of your comfort zone.

February 14 th - what does this day mean to you?  For many, they  exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine”.  For me, this day,  I received THE BEST surprise….of a lifetime! During my PE class, my husband, daughter and son walked into the gym along my principal and with BillieSue (from the LLS Houston Chapter) to announce that I was chosen to represent the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in its effort to battle Leukemia and other related blood cancers. The 'BIG Reveal' (with BillieSue - LLS Houston Chapter) T he ‘big reveal’ was that I was selected to join the incredible LLS Team In Training (TNT) and race in the IRONMAN World Championship, Kona on October 13, 2018!   This race consist of a total of 140.6 miles – 2.4 mile swim; 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile marathon; all to be completed in 17hours.  Click on my Team In Training Page on the left side of this blog to learn more.  More importantl...
