It is here ~  episode zero of the Grit, Grace & Mindfulness Podcast! I will begin by sharing my personal story which began three years ago, January 15, 2019. I was diagnosed with CLL, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Has it been a little rough at times, sometimes more than a little rough? Absolutely! Y'all, I'm a single momma, with two cubs, who are 14 and 11. Have there been amazing days? Absolutely! I am grateful each and every day, more now than ever, even during the rough times ~ those moments are our greatest teachers if we allow. As my Grammy would say, My cup runneth over! 

The name of this podcast came about, due to my experiences the past few years, and the necessary steps that were vital, and still continue to be, for my personal transformation. Since this new journey, I am constantly being asked, how are you doing this, what are you eating, what are you doing for exercise, and I want to share the things I am implementing to keep inflammation low and white blood count down to stage zero. It is not just one thing, it is many, and the things I am doing today are changes I have implemented over time, not over night.

Transformation is a process, it is a lifelong process that must incorporate mindfulness for a lifestyle of health and wellness. When we have knowledge, sometimes that provides us a starting point; however, when we share a personal story THAT is the catalyst for change. Stories create the desire to take action steps to begin living more mindfully, more abundantly. 

One of my previous life coaches regularly says, "what's most personal is most universal", and I have come to believe in the profound truth of that statement! I am inviting you to realize that vulnerability is empowerment. 

Something that is sometimes left out of this ever-important equation is the aspect of spirituality, a relationship with God. Maybe you are not there yet, you're struggling, maybe you are new, and maybe you do not believe at all, you just know there is a higher power. When we allow ourselves to be open with having a relationship, we allow ourselves the possibility of constant contentment. If you are listening, you most likely relate or know someone who can.

Moving forward requires grit and y'all know this! When things get a little rough, a little cattywampus, GRIT is not an option! When things get a little messy, we need some GRACE and more often than not, we need to provide ourselves with more than just a little. Lastly, the MINDFULNESS aspect, that is the cause for transformation  ~ AND to live ABUNDANTLY in all areas of your life.

Each week, on this podcast, you will find new episodes, and some episodes will be with guest experts in various fields from medical in the health and wellness arena to lifestyle, as well as our own listeners who are willing to share personal journeys. Our health and relationships are a GIFT each and every day. Thankfully, as I stated earlier, I am stage zero and am here to continue my journey with you through Grit, Grace & Mindfulness.
