My vision is to see every individual pursue their heart's dreams; to create for themselves a heaven on earth filled with love, joy and an appreciation of God's miracles daily. Hopefully, my blogs motivate, inspire and encourage you to do just that! Nobody should be afraid to dream BIG. Don't allow the fear of failure to stop you from achieving your success. Love and enjoy life through an ever-thankful heart, and appreciate the beauty and miracle in each moment. And when the going gets tough, keep smiling. These are the words I tell my spirit on a daily basis. "Above all else, guard your heart for out of it flows the wellspring of life" Proverbs 4:23 Purposefully placing God first in every decision I make. Because who better to have on my side, guiding my every move, than the Creator of the universe, eh?

Because when I left I'd just ruptured my Achilles tendon and was heading home for surgery and… Continue reading Back home where my heart is: Phoenix, AZ

Indoor Competition 2: Vienna International – Team England (Jan 2019)

My first England vest since 2008! I won! And I jumped the European Indoor Champs standard! I am also currently ranked amongst the top-ten female long-jumpers in the world right now. So many good feelings right now! 🙂 I had a mediocre series, at best. By series, I mean the jumps I took in each… Continue reading Indoor Competition 2: Vienna International – Team England (Jan 2019)
