Welcome to Uniquely Balanced. I’m so glad you found this space! I have been on a roller coaster health and spiritual journey for more than 15 years. Dang! That can be exhausting! As I searched for God’s healing, I have had to reflect on the scars that never healed and the good/bad choices of my life. My loving family and cherished friendships pulled me through when I battled the lows and celebrated with me during the highs. Friends and family are my lifeline! While digging for answers, I also discovered God has provided us with the BEST healing resources! My LOVE for seeking emotional and spiritual freedom and making healthy choices has literally changed my life. Each of us is unique, a one-of-a-kind special limited edition, that needs balance emotionally, physically and spiritually. My desire is to inspire others to find their unique balance and lead healthy lives full of purpose.
Health—Begin the Journey. It all begins with what we put into our bodies. Years ago, I gave up on traditional medicine when my body was in complete turmoil. Constant headaches, itchy body, bloody noses, stomach pains- yes, I am going to say it- DIARRHEA, and vertigo plagued me every day! Trying to self-diagnose I was like a constant yo-yo with highs and lows. After finally reaching out to a doctor who practices alternative functional medicine, I was able to get some control of my life. I definitely do not have it all figured out, but I am on a daily adventure as I search God’s word for the answers.
Family/Friends— Cup of Joy. Family and friends are the heartbeat of our lives. Blessed with 35 years of marriage to my best friend, Dan, two beautiful babies-OUCH they are already in their 30’s, and one crazy witty son-in-law life is at its best. Let’s not forget Max, my fur baby brindle boxer. Our amazing family still has the privilege of honoring our young at heart parents on both mine and my husband’s side. We are blessed to have the opportunity of hosting Sunday gatherings each week with any and all who want to come. I think they only come to see what Dan has masterfully cooked in the smoker, on the grill or crafted into a soup. Whatever the reason, it is a time Dan and I look forward to and will forever cherish the memories.
Purpose-The driving force. A season of feeling purposeless can be incredibly frustrating. This is when one is stuck in the daily drudge of the same ole thing over and over without any meaning. You think your friends, family, and coworkers are living meaningful lives as they walk with a spring in their step and embrace each day. As I ventured through a purposeless season, my health was at an all-time low and I met each day with complacency– this is life. Then I began to dig into God’s word and 
discovered that this is not what God intended for our lives. He wants us to live a joyful life. So, I began researching how to find MY purpose in life. My mind was often empty, like someone poured a bucket of black coal in my brain, when asked what was MY purpose in life. I would try to scratch my way out of the dark fog to some kind of answer, but to no avail I found NOTHING! Yes, I do have a brain that works some of the time. After endless hours of digging through God’s word I discovered God just wants us to live joyfully using our gifts and strengths to love on those around us. So, today at 50 something, I can say I have a better handle on what drives me- living a healthy balanced life while loving and serving family and friends and inspiring others to do the same!
We are Uniquely Balanced!
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3John1:2
