My pics aren’t uploading lately- let’s try again…

Had a great moment with my 9 year old while hiking the Grand Canyon today 💙 If you ever get the chance to visit DO IT!! We both had our phones out taking pictures along the way- his phone isn’t actually a phone but he’s able to take photos on it. I told him to get the photos but also take time to just ENJOY the beauty around us!! We saw so many people putting themselves in horribly dangerous situations out on cliffs for “the Insta shot “ I’m personally not a fan of social media because of these situations- among other things! But I verbalize my sentiments towards social media and my son asked “Well Mommy what about Marnie’s social media you do?” So I explained to him that Marnie created our very own special space that only we can go as part of the M/Body fam… he replied “Oh yeah that makes a lot of sense! I like that!” Smart guy😊 Anyway felt proud of this community and how much it’s always an impact on my life even when I’m not on the mat ❣️💪✨

I’ve tried to post this with a picture multiple times with no luck sooo here’s the quote I’m referring to:

“Don’t grow a wishbone daughter where your backbone ought to be”- Celementine Paddleford

Today Marnie had us visualize a special strong woman/women during class. Mine were my mom and my 26 year old self.

My mom gave me this awesome quote years ago. It hangs in my bathroom and I take those words in everyday. My mom showed me what it’s like to be a great mother and I look up to her so much ❣️

My 26 year old self took on a lot all while staying strong and positive. I was 26 when my (now) stepdaughter moved in with us full time. She was in 7th grade so I went through all the milestone girl stuff with her. Although at times I felt overwhelmed and too young for such an adult role I channeled my mom and made our house a happy home😊My stepdaughter and I have a wonderful relationship and I feel so proud that I was a strong female role model during such an important part of her life 💪✨
