Life’s Defining Moments

Screen Shot 2016-08-30 at 4.00.46 PM

We all have our own life stories, each one of us. Our lives are filled with what I refer to as “defining moments,” and these moments are what make us who we are!

Well, my “defining moments” have often been difficult times in my life, and I have handled them in two different ways. I have either become bitter, depressed and angry, or I have leaned into the pain and grown. Sometimes both. Yikes, I just admitted I’ve been depressed, angry and bitter… Want to be friends? HA! Anyway, I have personally seen what poor mental health looks like through my mom (she was doing her best) and how it affects everyone around you. And by golly, that wasn’t going to be me! So in those difficult defining moments, I sought solace and guidance from some really amazing counselors. I truly believe they helped me grow and get through those very difficult times in my life. Their guidance has changed my life!

This brings me to the reason behind today’s post- supporting the girls at LifeHouse of Houston. LifeHouse of Houston is a not-for-profit organization that offers a safe home environment centered around family and Christ to women experiencing unplanned pregnancies. I believe the girls at LifeHouse are going through one of the defining moments of their lives, and I want them to find the same solace through counseling that I have. That’s why, on September 9th, I’m riding for the LifeHouse Counseling Program at Soul Cycle-Memorial! All monies raised through the ride will go directly to the Counseling Program at LifeHouse of Houston. Please join me! Together we can give the gift of guidance- the same gift that has changed my life.

Where?

SoulCycle-Memorial in Houston!! It’s their new location, and we get to ride BEFORE it’s GRAND OPENING!

Who?

Anyone who wants to give the gift of solace and guidance to the girls at LifeHouse! You don’t need to be familiar with spin classes or even been to an exercise class before! Just come!! It’s ok! We are all in this together!! BTW, I’m not coordinated! I tried out for cheerleading 3 times and never made it. Does that make you feel better?

When?

Friday, September 9th @ 10 AM

    Love LifeHouse. After I had my first baby I vokunteered to be a mentor to a young girl. It was an amazing experience to get to be in the other side of a pregnancy (the only birth I’ve witnessed while not actually participating!) and be there for her as she prepared to parent her new child at such a young age.
    Way to go for your support of them!
