Join Me on My Healing Journey and Be Inspired

Hey there, remember me? It’s been so long since I’ve written or posted anything on this blog you may have forgotten who I am. To be honest, I’ve felt a bit like I’ve forgotten who I am as well.

Thankfully, I’ve been reminded. Which is why I’m writing today. That, and I have a confession to make, but I’ll get to that in a little bit.

I hesitated over a long period of time whether or not to write this blog post. Unsure if I actually wanted to share my struggles, I put off writing for far too long. Maybe fear of being so vulnerable was crippling me to take action. But I’m feeling stronger now and although I’m not sure anyone even reads this blog, in the end the most important thing is that I write it.

Over the past 21 months, a lot has happened in my life. I was blessed to have found someone to share my life with and a little over a year ago, we tied the knot. Not only did I marry an amazing man, I inherited two beautiful, smart, kind hearted step-daughters, not to mention a very loving extended family. I received my third degree black belt in 2016 and we have been busy renovating our house since I moved in. While all these things have been a true blessing, there are events which occurred which completely turned my life upside down. Between my and my husband’s family, four loved ones passed away. We experienced heartache and tragedy. Members of our families have needed care. We both ended up in emergency at the hospital for different reasons. The stress level has been high. My health suffered and so did my business. These (almost) two years have definitely been the best and worst years of my life. That said, I am not one to give up when there are challenges.

While there have been many times when I have been frustrated, angry or upset, I have also been able to experience unimaginable joy. I have been able to see the many blessings that have been provided to me. I have been able to experience love and kindness like never before. I have been humbled and I am truly grateful.

Over the next little while, I want to share with you my personal healing journey. That’s not to say that I’m sharing something that I went through in the past. What I’m saying is that I want to share with you my journey as I’m experiencing it. Because the truth is, I’m still a work in progress and I’m not sure when I won’t be;-)

In terms of what you can expect from reading this blog, I’m guessing it will be a bit of everything. Naturally as a health coach, I want to share the physical challenges I’m faced (or have been faced) with, such as weight gain, digestive issues, inflammation and restricted mobility. I’ll also be sharing some of the different diets and healing techniques I’ve tried and will be experimenting with in the future, as well as some of the mental and emotional challenges that come with injury and pain. I want to share some of the techniques that have or are working for me in hopes that these may also help you in some way. And I’ll still continue to share my best tips, recipes, workouts etc. So if you are interested in learning about health and wellness, you’ll find yourself in the right place.

But…I have a confession to make. The truth is, there’s an aspect to health I haven’t really shared much of on this website because I guess I have been afraid of what you might think. You see, the truth is, while I may be a health coach, I am also a woman of God. And these two things, I can not separate. Now you might say, that everyone should keep their “religion” to themselves, but I’ve come to realize over the years that if I try to separate my profession from my faith, I feel like I’m not giving you all of the tools you need to improve your health; because to me, there is no health and wellness without Christ. After all, how can your physical body be separated from your mental or spiritual one? It can’t. And this is something I know deep in my heart that the Lord wants me to share. So as I confess that I no longer will keep these two things separate on this website, I want to declare that what you’ll also learn here is what God has been teaching me about health, wellness and what it means to demonstrate faith in action by being a follower of Christ.

Over the next few months, I’ll be tweaking my website to include a bit more about my faith and I’m hoping to post some videos and photos of my progress either on my website or on my social media pages. I’m just getting back into the swing of things here, so I’ll let you know when I’ve got some content to share and I hope you’ll be patient with me.

So my friends, I’m grateful to you all for your love and faithful support over the years. I have loved and will continue to love you and I hope you stick around to go on this journey with me. God Bless!

Love Bianca, xo
