5 years ago I set a goal that I would be opening up my own gym in 15 years. Tomorrow’s grand opening of the 10th Street Y that I’ll be the Wellness Director of alongside @celestehoffman as my Ops Director is one giant leap of progress towards that goal. If you live or work downtown Richmond you need to check out the only gym that’s also dedicated to strengthening our community. “No easy day” #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #forabetterus #becausey #gym #workout #lifting #exercise #running #cardio #USMC #Marine (at SunTrust Plaza (Richmond))

It is the first time that I have ever taken on such a challenge as The Year of Less But Better. The whole concept of No Spend days are new to me. What I’m really liking about them is that I have to put thought into everything that I buy. However if I do buy , I’m paying the price not only of the object that is purchased but I also have to sacrifice the prestige of having a No Spend Day. It’s sort of like paying double. It makes a real game of it and doing it with kids brings it to another level 😬 As for the minimalism, well it’s a work in progress ☺️ #theyearoflessbutbetter #mrssmartmoney #minimalist #minimal #nospendjanuary #nospendchallenge #nospend #nospend2019 #pushtheneedle #fi #winatlife #forthekids #forabetterus #forabetterlife #frugalchallenge #bestlife #lovelife #changeisgood (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQ4Ca0l1TL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9gz7oos7llte

173 years ago today, the Y began helping people live better lives when George Williams founded the organization to help men flooding London during the Industrial Revolution. Today the Y is addressing some of the most pressing social issues facing our country: diabetes, obesity and chronic disease, the educational achievement gap and the lack of civic engagement in our communities. #YMCABDAY #ForABetterUs. www.gmvymca.org for more info on what your local GMMVY is providing to our communities!

This simple room is anything but: it’s the new home, remodeled by Blue Ridge service groups, of a formerly homeless war veteran who had formerly been sleeping in his car. Our service groups from @ccuchanticleers, @millersvilleu, and @uflorida provided all the necessary labor to remodel it so one more veteran in Asheville is off the streets. 🙏🏽 • You can GIVE to our Annual Campaign to support programs like this via LINK in profile 💙 • @abccm_official @visitasheville @visitnc #nationalvolunteerweek #nationalvolunteerweek2018 #ymca #forabetterus #community #veterans #give #helponeanother #loveoneanother via Instagram https://ift.tt/2EUBysd

Wrapping up Mental Health Awareness Month I’m extremely humbled and proud to start this project. Working with partners from all over the country we’re looking to create a Mental Health Initiative. Starting small by incorporating Suicide Prevention into our Staff and Volunteer on boarding process just as we would do with CPR and First aid courses. Big picture, develop, staff, and implement a Mental Health program in our community out reach departments to work with schools, colleges, hospitals, and churches to offer counseling services, classes, programs, and various other programs all volunteer led in order to minimize as many of these tragedies as we can. Posting this for two reasons: 1. To raise awareness that we see, acknowledge, and plan to rectify the epidemic facing our communities And 2. Hold myself accountable: by putting this out there it’s not just a thought or goal on a whiteboard. It’s out there and time to turn conversations behind closed doors into conversations in public and more so; conversations into actions. Thank you to my #principlesandpractices family for working together to share this story and this idea. I recognize it won’t happen over night but hopefully a year from now we will start to see a difference. #becausey #forabetterus #mentalhealthawareness (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Dw5u_gXxL/?igshid=oe77sghe16jr

The day I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I cried out to the Lord from my inner most part of my body. I felt a peace come over me, He impressed upon my spirit. “I am your pilot. You are my passenger. I will take care of you.” I had been going to the Y for several years for water aerobics. After finishing a grueling treatment, I was told about LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA and was asked if I would be interested. I was introduced to Lisa Murray who walked me through the exercise program for 3 months. Even though she was my trainer, we also developed a friendship. I was so appreciative to learn how to use the equipment and very impressed by the strength that I developed at this time. Donate to the YMCA today so that all cancer survivors and their families have the opportunity to regain their strength: https://goo.gl/js3tYf #WhyTheY #WhyWednesday #ForABetterUs #TransformingLives
