Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.
-Martin Luther King, Jr. Strength to Love, 1963
This statement speaks to me. In these times of incessant battling, political ideation as religion, censorship, division and dehumanization, our only way out of this darkness is to be the light. Which is exactly why I write my content. We are living in times when we are being spoon-fed lies or half-truths and we are supposed to open wide, swallow it all and do so without questioning. I’m not going to comply and I encourage all of you to do the same.

In the new year, everyone has fitness on the brain. So to save you from wasting your time, getting frustrated, and throwing in the towel on getting fit, I share a few quick tips to get you off and running and get the results you desire.
Be Better
Beauty doesn’t live in happiness alone; it lives in immersing ourselves in the full experience of life. We find it where we least expect it, but only where we are willing to look.
Life is as much struggle as it is pleasure and the reality is, you never feel the true depths of happiness without pain. You never see the beauty of life if you’re never looking at struggle as a path to deeper happiness.
EAT Better
COCONUT PEANUT BUTTER BOMBS
These little bite sized bombs are addictive! Consider yourselves warned;) If you have followed me for any length of time, you have surely heard my rant about “treats”. A treat by definition is something you partake in on RARE occasion. The trouble we have gotten ourselves into as a society these days is we don’t know the difference between a splurge and everyday life. We are so used to having what we want, when we want it, that we have lost sight of what it means to have a little treat here and there. Remember, you cannot claim consistency when eating clean for one week, just like you can’t claim it’s a treat when you eat it every few days! These are a delicious, clean version of a treat and are meant to be enjoyed as a splurge.
1/2 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
2 tbsp coconut peanut butter
