Day 1- The Adventure Begins 🌅
📖Daily Reading
2 Corinthians 1: 3-5
Today is just an explanation of my intentions for this Journey. The first few days of my journey in 2022 didn't start with the intent to read the bible in a year, although that evolved and got added quickly. Also, I had no idea that this would become more than a fun way to keep myself going, so I am having to go back and figure out what I did. So this will not be perfect, which I have never been accused of anyway 😂 - but together we will still be Rising and Shining! Perfect is boring anyway, I like adventure!

Join me on my morning walk as we rise and shine together by walking through the Bible daily and learn a practical applicable coaching nugget from the ultimate life coach - our creator (whatever that means to you). No judgement zone here, all are welcome, we are all on a spiritual journey because we are after all spiritual beings having a human experience.
📝 Reflection
"Rise & Shine" - was my theme for 2022 and the next leg of my OWN IT! For Good! adventure.
I would love for you to come with me and let’s journey together. I will be posting my videos from the entire 2022 year - raw and real; no make up, bed head somedays, bags under my eyes, weather, all of it!
I committed to getting up and outside for 365 days of sunrises for the year of 2022. I documented the entire journey by posting daily videos, writings and pictures to hold myself accountable and share with share with anyone and everyone who it might also help and inspire. I have been impacted by others who have been willing to do the same, so this is my effort to pay it forward. I am humbled that so many have reached out and let me know how much this has helped. My prayer is that it will continue to do that and that you will also be inspired to pay it forward somehow!
The God of all Comfort is my guiding light. 2nd Corinthians 1: 3-5 'All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. '
I started on my OWN IT! For Good journey to get healthier; mind body and spirit, a few years ago. Even when I was not at my best health wise, I treasured my mornings. They were always a non negotiable for me. But they were often filled with regret, a ground hogs day of ‘today will be different’!
But in 2017 I finally started getting serious about my health and in the fall of 2019 I made a decision to put the wine glass down for a year. When I did this, my mornings became an even more precious time of clarity and prayer. Instead of regret, I started to fell clear and my connection to the holy spirit got so much stronger and I started getting my my mojo back. I liked how I felt so much that I decided to make being alcohol free a permanent lifestyle choice.
Even though I felt a lot better, I noticed I still had a few lingering habits that I wanted to change. For example, I was lingering too much in the mornings, I was enjoying my mornings too much!
So I decided to set the intention, discipline and a healthy boundary with myself to be done with my prayer and quiet time by sunrise(ish) everyday, AND get outside for fresh air and get moving. Time to not only rise but to rise and shine✨.
My original goal and inspiration was to be more productive in the mornings while I feel I have achieved some of that I still have a long way to go. Getting outside daily for a sunrise 🌅 time with God was going to be a lot like my decision to go alcohol free for the health of it. It is one thing that changes everything! Let the new adventure begin! Thank you so much for joining me!
I hope you too will get outside and treat yourself to some beautiful sunrises this year too! Every morning is a new masterpiece! Did you know that getting sunlight early in the morning into your eyes helps regulate your system, helps wake you up, helps your circadian rhythm, your mood and so much more! Getting the Vitamin D by letting your skin be exposed for 15 mins everyday is also super beneficial! We live so much of our lives in doors now, with artificial light and temperature controlled environments. It is good for us to be reminded that we are God’s creatures as well and we belong in nature too, we are a part of the natural world. Get out there and enjoy it!
