Oh, friend. You get a glimpse of the real-deal Holyfield of who I am today.
Remember how I told you I wasn’t going to spend a lot of time editing, etc. because when I used to vlog way back when it darn-near sucked the life out of me? Please have grace with me.
Excuse the not so great lighting and the tough camera angles and try to just listen to the content if you would, pretty please.
How did everyone do on loving God above all else last week? Let us know what you did in the comments, please!
We’ll talk more about this whole loving your self thing tomorrow. In the meantime, take the next five minutes chatting with my ten-year-old dog, Ellie, and I.
And don’t forget – I’m hosting along with sweet Angie, Cindy, and Denise . . . Inspire Me Mondays. Here are the super-easy directions:
1. Write, show, or share something that will inspire others. It can be one thing or a compilation like I did. It can be a quick thing like a quote or a longer thing like sharing some verses in the Bible and what it says to you. Anything goes.
2. No blog? No worries… share in your comments something that could inspire others.
3. Link back over here using that sweet little button made just for this or a blog link and invite your friends.
3. Link up your blog and join the community of inspiring people by using the cute little linky tool.
4. Use the URL of your specific post, not just your home page. We want to get right to the inspiration that you are sharing with us!
5. Visit a couple others, but especially the one right before you to give a little encouragement! This is the fun part ~ already encouraging and inspiring others right from the get go!
What a great reminder for me this week. After spending 18 months losing weight and working out 4x a week, it came to a grinding halt when my Mom died and I tore my ACL in the same week in November. Since then, I haven’t worked out at all and the stress eating, well, you know. My knee surgery is next week, but there are still exercises I can do – and some I should not do, like the elbow bend to the mouth. Thanks for the kick in the pants to keep moving and not neglect what I’ve got.

Natalie-loved your post this morning. Who of us doesn't need to take to heart self-care! Thanks for sharing! (PS. Give Ellie a squeeze-she looks like a sweet soul!)
Natalie, great post. I love this one and it hit home hard! Oh how we moms need to hear that it is ok to take care of us…On a side note, Ellie looks beautiful (as do you)! I couldn't really tell but I think what you had for her was a bully stick. If so, Petflow.com has them on sale all the time ;) My lab is obsessed with them too! I love your VLOG because I miss hearing your sweet voice! Lots of love!
