“Everybody wants to see the view at the top of a mountain, but no one wants to climb.”

I have had countless nights where I lay in my bed awake, trying to create a new plan of action for my life over and over again. Trying to juggle working full time, being the most incredible mother to my daughter, and an ultra runner. I have learned to take it day by day, and appreciate being in the moment. When I look at my daughter who is three years old exploring the world with such a pure soul, all the stress, anxiety, and constant list of things to do in my head vanish. I smile and join her world of learning which is always present and full of smiles.                                     

Nowadays I don’t stress and put pressure on being the best employee , my focus is learning how to be the best mother I can be , which I am constantly learning and giving my time and energy to my family and myself, which includes running, strength training , and being outside. I look at my focus as a mountain with incredible views at the top, and if I keep climbing little by little I will get there and all the work, sweat, and tears will make it that much more sweet. I owe it to myself, my daughter, my family and to everyone as we all have our own mountains to climb, when will you start climbing yours?
