Today is my 45th birthday so it only feels right to share one of my latest dreams with you. Back in 2017 I felt lost. Without purpose. My girls were all in school now and as a Stay at home mama keeping an immaculate house began to feel superficial and hallow. That says a lot […]
2020 & 2021 have taken their toll on me as they have many of you. I truly believed I’d survived the discomforts and heartbreaks of 2020 until my dad passed away this Spring. It was somewhat expected as he’d held onto a life with diminishing health for a solid 15 years and truly a quarter […]
Recently I had my eyes checked. Let’s face it… age is catching up to me and things just aren’t as clear as they used to be. Despite the lessons from 2020 and gaining clarity around so many things in life~ my eyesight wasn’t on that list. Of course, I couldn’t drive after they dilated my […]

WAY up ahead of the current time. 2020 has been challenging and uncomfortable. We’re all well aware & if you’re […]
Here we are already rounding into the final stretch of 2020… what a year! We have successfully managed the hills, straight stretches, bends and road blocks although it hasn’t necessarily been easy! Ya know what I’m saying?! I thought so. 😉 As with everything else, Tough As Nails has learned to embrace change believing it […]
We’re trying something new to keep you updated easily of all the great things Tough As Nails is up to. Are you as excited about this as I am??!
