Category: About All+SUM LIFE

Aaaaaaand here’s the REALLY HARD PART.  Consistency.  If I really want this concept I’ve created (yeah, it’s a little cheesy but embrace it with me please) of an All+SUM LIFE then I’ve got to actually live it consistently.

Fearless.  Well, that’s a word for you.  And, no I don’t mean this: That picture above (in my definition of fearless) is batshit.  Seriously.  For those of you who have a desire to do that, all the more power to you.  I’ll pass, thanks.

Why “all”?  Well, first, all things are connected & we are all a sum of our parts.  Don’t believe me?  Just look at the human body.  What you eat directly affects how you feel.  Caffeine is a perfect example of this.  A lot of people can’t function without a dose of caffeine in the morning. […]

For me personally, the concept of an “awesome life” which has since turned into “All+SUM LIFE” started years ago, while I was still dating my husband.  I’ve been through some rough situations and while I still have a deep love of travel, early in my career (especially when I first had enough money to take a vacation) a lot […]
