I like helping people in any way I can especially with their fitness goals. I enjoy the outdoors, watching movies in bed with my husband, HGTV, the Food Network and just living as simple life as I can. I don't like being rushed, or running from place to place. Life is meant to be enjoyed and savored. Smile, laugh, love and give hugs as much as possible. Stop and breathe.
