We Are Family

Despite founding and creating iGnite and having a very clear vision and mission, I am the worst at accurately describing who we are. For over simplification purposes I can say we are a holistic women’s fitness community, but in my opinion that doesn’t come close to describing us. For years I lamented over an "elevator pitch" (you know, the one I'm supposed to be able to say in 30 seconds or less), but have been wildly unsuccessful at creating one. Fortunately we've been able

Bypass Things & Invest in Memory-Making Experiences

Point to Ponder: What do you invest in more? Things or experiences? I don't know about you, but starting Daylight Savings is brutal. I find it to be confusing and losing an hour of sleep is the pits! Despite these unpleasant aspects, I love that Daylight Savings comes with the spring season, more sunlight and longer days, which equates to more time for outdoor activity and experiences in general. With the start of Daylight Savings, Spring Break, longer days and summer right

Why We Need White Space in Our Lives

Point to Ponder: Where in your life do you need to "de-crapify" and add more white space? Have you ever heard of "white space"? As of last Tuesday I was completely unaware this was a thing until I stumbled upon it while listening to my favorite podcast called Live Inspired by John O'leary. John O'leary's incredibly inspiring life could be a blog post in and of itself, but for the sake of following the white space rule of having a reductive mindset (less is more), I'll keep

Pause & Restoration

Point to Ponder: Do you pause and allow time for restoration? In addition to Thanksgiving, Christmas and July 4th, my favorite day of the year was last night: daylight savings. I treasure a good sleep and I love going to bed knowing I have an extra hour. There’s also something grounding about an earlier sunset, the seasonal chill in the air, warm crock pot meals and Mother Nature providing shorter days to encourage a slower pace of life. For me, this leads to less distraction

Refuse to Miss Your Life

Point to Ponder: What can you reduce or shift that will allow you to be more present for your family, your well-being and the life you desire to live? Lately, I feel like all I ever say is “no”, at least to my family. I’ve heard myself say “no” to Durant’s continual request to go fishing, as well as “no” to Malaine’s ongoing ask to ride her bike around the block. I’ve said “no” to taking a much-needed yoga class and “no” to something as simple as just spending time together a

6 Essentials to Living the Good Life

Point to ponder: Are you living the good life? Recently I came across a great article on the SUCCESS Magazine website listing 6 basic essentials to living the good life. The wisdom was shared by the late Jim Rohn, a legendary author and motivational speaker. While subjective, I found his list to be inspiring, merited and awesome. Check'em out! 1. Productivity - You won't be happy if you don't produce. The game of life is not rest. Yes, we must rest, but only long enough to
