Choices and a Breakthrough

Each and every day I choose to show up to that day trying to be the best me possible. That can look different all the time depending on the situation at hand.

Yesterday it snowed in Victoria (insert jokes here now about one flake falling and people running from their houses screaming LOL).

There are no words to describe how incredibly grateful, blessed and in awe I am of this entire life event. There are no words to describe the respect I have for my new found friends, my fellow Fight 4 The Cause – Charity Boxing Classic contenders, my sponsor, my walkout team, my amazing family which is ever expanding and my son and stepson who were there by my side for this. I have no words…
