“Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart”

There are so many blessings in my life to be grateful for, and I decided to write down to share a few of mine with all of you. Maybe take a minute for yourself to make your own list. Sitting down to do this was such a refreshing game changer in the midst of a crazy day. I was also surprised by a few of the things that popped into my mind as I was writing… you’ll see. 😉 It’s become a practice of mine to count my blessings, thanks to my mom, especially when certain moments in life are feeling so out of my hands, it’s a good time to remember what is in place to be thankful for. Here I go…

Two Place I call “Home”: Oregon will forever be home in my heart, and a place I get to go to be with my family and …

“Surround yourself with people who make you hungry for life, touch your heart, and nourish your soul.”

Life. It’s such a wild ride, isn’t it? If I could share every detail with you, and I’m sure if you could share every detail of your life with me, we would stand staring at each other with our hands over our mouths surprised by the challenges and heartaches we face as we go about our daily lives. But I guarantee you, if we stood with each other sharing all of our blessings, we would be smiling and so happy for one another.

My friends have become a lifeline for me, a huge blessing! They have given me a safe space to share my highs and my lows. Truly, they inspire me, teach me, encourage me, and their presence in my life nourishes my soul!

The last several months have been busy… I like being busy, so I feel like I say …

“Take care of your body, it’s the only place you have to live”

I’m going to let you in on a little secret… since I’ve been back from my summer in “Paradise” I have been so out of my routine and honestly not been feeling great about myself. My workouts aren’t the same, my eating habits are a little under par, and my skin… well, I’ve actually never seen my skin like this, it’s struggling, BAD. I blame the skin factor on everything else in my daily life that is out of whack, so I’m taking control over all aspects of my life and doing what I know to do to get myself back to feeling like my true self again. The good thing is, I do know how to do this for myself, after all, I coach people daily on living their best lives. Just goes to show, I’m human. Even though my career is nutrition and health coaching …

Have you ever experienced a “Hallelujah Moment”? Like a moment where you just stop dead in your tracks and just need to give thanks for all that has been done in your life, and that is being done? Maybe it’s not even a moment where you’re giving thanks or praise for what is going on in your own life, but perhaps it’s even in those moments where you actually feel purpose, and you know God is doing something with this life He has given you.

I’ve experienced several “Hallelujah moments”, but one that has captured a large piece of my heart forever is the moment you see in the top picture. In fact, there were a lot of moments like this last year (October 2014) when I was fortunate enough to get to travel to the Philippines with the non-profit organization, Kusewera (I traveled to Malawi, Africa with them as well) to serve at an orphanage, a girl’s home, a …

My Cross Necklace.

I received a very beautiful and uniquely shaped cross necklace as a gift several years ago from my family and it has been something I have worn proudly and close to my heart. I love the opportunity I get when it catches people’s eye and I have the opportunity to share what it means to me and share my faith. You may even remember seeing me wear this special necklace in my promo pictures wayyy back when when I was first on The Bachelor.

So here’s the story of my Cross Necklace in Paradise… One night we were all standing around the kitchen area (you know where you always see us sitting there sweating and stuffing our faces!) and Juelia said to me, “Ten, where is your necklace?!” The dainty little chain was laying broken around my neck. My heart dropped. Where is my cross?! Everyone… seriously EVERYONE, producers, camera & …

I had the privilege to appear on ‘After Paradise’, and though sometimes hard to get a word in, I felt like I was given an opportunity to address a few important things to me.

1) Where I am at with my past relationship and his new life change.

2) The absolute MUST for me in a relationship.

3) That age shaming… geez, I really don’t think I’m “old”.
