Inner fitness, in some regard, is more challenging and rewarding than outer fitness will ever be. Yet, in many ways, it’s very similar.

Let your soul be made whole!

build on beauty-01 (2)This lesson for many sometimes takes a little time to learn but the sooner it is learned the better off one will be. This lesson is a lesson of not just identity but finding comfort in that identity


You see no one in this world is just alike. I don’t care how much people say you look just like your mom or act just like your dad you are still different from them. This is where personality, experiences, education and relationships come into play……….

Keep going back to God no matter how many times you mess up

build on beauty-01 (2)Why is our identity so important? It is the thing that refers to our historical make up and personal continuity.
