Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can keep me from walking my 2 miles daily. Not even 11 degree frigid Chicago weather. I am so grateful for my feet & a healthy body that take me there! And I also got some quality time with my best friend sunshine.

I’m so happy to help reclaim the soul of my profession & healthcare by attending the annual 2025 American College of Lifestyle Medicine conference.

We are in the midst of a true medical awakening and it’s ok to get well now. Honor, love, & care for yourself above all things using the 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine.

People are waking up & deciding what side of history they will fall on- the sick side or the healthy side. It’s ok to choose the healthy side!

Exercising in the way I love most- walking my daily 2 miles while praying the rosary with my best friend sunshine. Did you feel me praying for you today? I hope you did. 💕❤️

Sunrise walks are the best, especially in heaven on earth.

Rain or shine, home or away, I get my 2 mile walk in daily preferably while doing the rosary. I love you Mexico 🇲🇽

New goal: Walk 2 miles & pray the rosary daily. Today my right hand man came with me on my walk. I love teaching my son about the importance of exercise & prayer for health. 💕❤️

Today I completed 1 full year of walking at least 1 mile daily. I call these my sunshine walks because they light up my life.

What started out as a goal to complete walking 1 mile daily for 40 days in a row has turned into so much more.

I set out to find my pathway to peace with a focus on walking with the sunshine. I have learned so much about myself over the past year.

I’ve made it my top priority to have peace in my life and love in my heart.

I have walked in the rain, sun, snow, indoor, outdoor, or whatever it took to get my walk done daily. It has been the single most important thing I’ve ever done for my health & wellness in my opinion. I feel like I’m a better mom & wife because this daily habit helps me manage my stress tremendously.

I have learned how to pray & meditate more fully during my walks and most of all I’ve learned to love & care for myself unconditionally- the way I should have always done for myself, but didn’t.

I’m so grateful for my feet & legs that take me on this journey towards peace. I’m going to continue walking and increase my mileage more consistently.

If you are looking for your pathway to peace, I highly recommend this. I treasure my walking time and I feel better everyday physically, emotionally, & spiritually.

Today I completed my 300th day of walking AT LEAST 1 mile daily AND as fate would have it, it feIl during my trip to NYC! I randomly walked onto 5th Avenue & had the time of my life taking in the scenes 😂! Walking daily is the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health! I’m also loving NYC so much! 💕❤️
