If you have watched me share my journey you have seen there have been Highs and Lows. I work hard and I believe in my family and I believe in MARY. It wasn't always like that. 

We all are given this life and it is OUR DESTINY to decide where we go and how we go. Even when we decide to live FREE.

Over the last 16 months my Journey as a Coach has changed dearly.
This career choice goes much deeper than a number – so much deeper. 

I pour more into personal development everyday.

I have authentic relationships with REAL Girlfriends heart emoticon
I am closer to my Father and more intimate with my Faith.
I am more confident in my own SKIN.
I believe in DREAMS and actually RUN after them.
I am the Healthiest I have ever been in all my years.

CHANGE
Does happen.

CHANGE
Is a choice.

ANYTHING
Is possible.

I am SO excited and EAGER for the next month of March to begin for my TEAM. I am opening up a behind the scenes CHAT tonight @ 8:30 PM/ET.

IfAnything

Friday, February 12th while in Jamaica we were driving home from the jungle, and I asked our Driver to take us to a Children's Orphanage on the way back to our hotel. I am not sure WHY I asked this. Maybe curiosity? Or maybe my heart was just hungry for more.
I don't know. 

He droves us into the Jamaica National Children's Home.
Immediately my eyes were drawn to the tall barb-wire fences and locked down gates. 

However, on one of the buildings there was a beautiful blue mural painted with children running in the clouds with laughter and smiles. It is beautiful!
We left barely making it inside and then we were turned away from visiting because we were in shorts. I left my business card and with contact information for their website. I left wanting more. 

............................................................................

That evening I told Mike ... God wants us to go back ... He wants us to Love on these kids. He pretty much thought I was kinda crazy ... HAHA .. But I told him, "Mike, God told me this is OUR time. Do this together."
I have never heard Him speak so clearly and so quickly in all my life.
But his words were - Just GO - GO Now. 

So we did just that.
We barely knew where to find the goodies in town. We faced a little battle trying to purchase so many gifts for the Kids .. but He provided ... we did not prepare the Children's Home that we were coming ... there was just no time. 

But we SHOWED UP. 

We arrived pretty much a little hot mess. Clueless how to explain our calling.
I introduced Mike and I to the Director of the home and he said, "Talk to me ... tell me who you are and why you are here?" 

I would be lying to you if I told you I wasn't a little nervous ... I was a LOT nervous, but more than anything I was PUMPED UP ... I had made it this far! No Turning BACK! I didn't know if he was going to let us in - but I was going to try my hardest. 

After a few minutes of telling him who we were ... and that we were parents to 4 children and honestly had a LOVE & Passion for children and the Lord ... he welcomed us in. 

Praise GOD!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY grin emoticon

We learned there are 88 children living in the first Children's Home.
(Ages 5-18, cared for by 4 women.)

There are 28 Children with Disabilities living in one home.
(Ages 10 - 30+, cared for by 1 women and 2-3 volunteers. )
T

here are 200 Children whom are Deaf living in the last Children's Home.
All on One Campus....surrounded by garbage and waste. These roads are very very difficult to drive down. 

I want to share with you the reason we decided to visit with the Disability Children. This was all due to Mabry. She told us when she would visit Honduras that no one would visit these children ... no one wanted to spend time with them. On this Saturday as we parked we saw 6 or 7 cars in the visiting center for the other Children, but no visitors for the Disability. One of the Volunteers in the home told me there were only 2 children that had parents who would visit maybe once or twice a year. 

Walking into this one story building Mike and I were nervous and completely clueless to what we would see, hear or experience. We just opened our hearts and prayed for them to feel our love. The children and adults suffer from severe mental and or physical disabilities. Almost all of them could not speak. One of the best moments of our day was when a car drove by blaring reggae music .. the children bounced their bodies and their legs in the wheel chairs and their eyes came ALIVE. They truly LOVE music! 

After spending the day seeing their home ... hugging, sitting with them, rubbing their backs, holding their hands, swinging, and throwing balls back and forth we had to say good-bye. I struggled big time with this. With tears rolling down my cheek I slowly said good-bye. I hugged all the volunteers. 

Walking to our truck 3 children were holding onto the doors they couldn't talk ... but they knew we were leaving. Mike and I slowly led them back to their home to their family...and we drove away. 

Sometimes ANYTHING is possible when we just let go and allow Him to MOVE us. I recently finished a book called 'Anything' and this read has truly changed me from the inside out. I pray that this is just the beginning for Mike and I.

You are Wonderfully made.

This is my Mabry.

I just finished reading a blog post from FBCHomes.org. A testimony about unplanned pregnancies and how YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made. I can not express how this hit home for me.

Truly want to cry ... Happy tears heart emoticon ... of hope.

So I share my own journey with you. 

I found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter at the young age of 15. It was August of my Sophomore year in High School and we had just returned back from Summer. After the 3rd pregnancy test in less than 10 minutes, and with my MOM in my bathroom ... We both had to stop the "denial" ................. I was pregnant. 

Right in that moment I understood - I was a MOM, but I was only 15.
I was just a child.

I remember feeling ashamed, alone, uncontrollable pain and FEAR ... of everything and of everyone.
I was hurting.
I thought I was alone, but GOD was right there - Holding my HAND and saying, "You got this Mary. WE got this." 

So after many people encouraged me to choose abortion ... Or move to Orlando and finish my pregnancy in secrecy then give up the Baby ... I decided ... NO. I was going to have my Baby. I was going to stay home and finish my Sophomore year. I had to find strength - and - I had to grow up. I believed that I was not only going to finish my Junior year. But, I was going to WALK across that stage with my class of 2000. And I did!!!

See ... I became a Christian very young, but my relationship with my Father had been steered and directed in a different direction. I found myself lost. My faith as a teenager had faded and I allowed the WORLD to influence my choices. Jesus had been thrown on the back-burner.

Today, I remember specifically thanking GOD that he blessed me with a baby to be delivered during the Summer. Exactly - 3 weeks after my sophomore year and Mabry came on her due date. On HIS timing. I can smile because I remember that dearly. She was 8.4 and 20 1/2 inches long ... and oh my goodness ......... she was BEAUTIFUL heart emoticon

IF you are reading this and have found yourself in a position or a place where you do not know what you are going to do - OR - where you are going to live ... or how you might feel with a new baby or this pregnancy. Please know you have options and there is HOPE. You are loved right where you are today. Love Mary

Red Wine Turkey Chili

Red Wine Turkey Chili

This Sunday it was chilly in Florida and I really wanted to make Chili, but I wanted it to be clean and I wanted it to be different. I am so guilty of finding a new favorite and then just repeating history for a few months.  HAHAHA..... and I wanted to impress the Hubby =D

So I did a little searching and found one that I liked and then I added a little of my favorite secrets to make it my own. Clean - Easy - 21DF approved - Hammer & Chisel approved.

We still had leftovers and I just filled a couple mason jars. I will be using these for lunch during the week, and if you do not have mason jars feel free to freeze your leftovers for another night.

Mike and I could not eat enough ... we both had 2 bowls. "Seriously, SO GOOD"

I Prepped this in 15 minutes. First I browned the Turkey, and then drained it placing it into my slow cooker - setting was high. Then I took the mushrooms, garlic, onions and bell peppers used a food processor to blend them. (I like keeping everything a surprise.) Added them into the slow cooker. After adding the rest of the ingredients into the Slow Cooker , it stayed on high until everything was hot and then I turned it to Warm. It was ready within 2-3 hours.  

I love using my Slow Cooker ... it just makes Home smell delicious and it truly makes dinner prepared - anytime - on anyone's schedule <3 

ENJOY and leave me a Comment , I would LOVE to know how it turned out for you!  

Ingredients:
2 tsp extra virgin organic coconut oil, melted.
1 large onion, chopped, 2 Cloves garlic
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium yellow (or orange) bell pepper, chopped 

1 cup of fresh mushrooms
1 lb. raw 93% lean ground turkey
1 package of Fresh Salsa (no salt added) 1 Cup of Organic Vinegar - Red Wine
2 cans (15-oz. each) black beans, kidney beans, rinsed, drained. (I replaced one with 1/2 bag of frozen
1 Tbsp. chili powder
½ tsp. sea salt
2 tsp of Crushed red peppers (to taste; optional)
8 tsp of Crumbled Goat Cheese and Hot Sauce (as desired)
