“A PERSON’S TRUE POTENTIAL IS UNKNOWN AND UNKNOWABLE…” – DR. CAROL DWECK

Tag: Peaks

Squaw Peak- Provo, Utah

A beautiful little hike that starts at Rock Canyon Trail Head. The trail starts with some gravel and shale rock and eventually moves into softer dirt. There are 5 bridges along the trail and restrooms at the parking lot. The hike is popular so go early to avoid crowds. The trail is a steady incline [...]

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams...” Eleanor Roosevelt💗 • • The time is fast approaching when we will send her off into this big, beautiful world. There are many moments, when I honestly can’t believe I’ve walked part of her journey with her. • • I’m so grateful for her dreams, hard work and unconquerable spirit. 🌲♥️ • • #senioryear #changeiscoming #dreambig #makeithappen #queenb #stanford #smartestkidiknow #fearless #makeadifference #bethechange #collegebound
“Mountain tops inspire leaders, but valleys mature them.” Winston Churchill • • Hard things shape and change us in ways that comfort and pleasure never can, so why are we hesitant to actually choose the hard things that we know can be good for us? • • Once upon a time I used to hate running, let alone running uphill. Two days ago, I made the choice to run up a canyon I have always run down. • • In the overall scheme of life, it’s just another run; but today’s choice and sustained effort filled me with gratitude and joy that no other run in the last 10 years has. Today I remembered that hard things eventually become blessings when we choose to embrace them. • • What ever your current “hard thing” is, may you have the courage to go do it. I promise in the end, you’ll be glad you did. ✌️💗 • • “For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee...” Isaiah 41:13 • • #dohardthings #gratefulheart #runnergirl #momswhorun #uphill #downhill #marathontraining #lds #empowerment #courage #hardwork #faithnotfear #afcanyon #bostontraining #road2boston #trailsandpavement #runwithfriends #teamsparkle #nanohydr8 #keepacoolhead

“The future is but the present a little further on...” Jules Vern 🌎 • • Small victories often make the biggest difference. 😁Today’s long run featured friends in beautiful places and success sipping water while running. • • While that might not seem like a big deal to any other runner out there, for someone like me with Crohn’s disease or other gastric issues while running, todays experiment is a big leap forward. • • You see, when I run I haven’t been able to drink at all with out cramping, puking or potty stops, which is not the best scenario when running a half or full marathon or any distance in between. 🤷🏻‍♀️ • • I have especially struggled in humid and hot environments and the #bostonmarathon will be humid. So taking in 1.5 cups of water during a long run with no stops or issues is amazing. I look forward to seeing if I can duplicate todays experience again.🤞 • • In the meantime, I’m grateful and satisfied. Week 4 #training and #longrun is in the books, 80 days and counting! 💙💛🦄 • • #marathontraining #road2boston #bostonbound2019 #runhills #emigrationcanyon #runwithfriends #roundtheworldin80days #crohns #autoimmunedisease #hashimotos #crohnsdisease #satisfied #runner #cautioslyoptimistic #momswhorun #solesisters #trailsandpavement #nanohydr8 #teamsparkle #tendermercies #graceofgod

What’s your word? 🤷🏻‍♀️ We all have a story, and it’s important to keep telling it. • • Eighteen years ago through the grace of God, an inspired dear friend intervened on the day I chose to end my life. Divine intervention and miracles are real! 💗 • • Through her assistance, I was finally able to get counseling and medical help for childhood trauma and severe postpartum depression. • • I remained on that medication for over 12 years as it helped me function and find happiness again. Now healthy, I can’t imagine living without my husband, daughters and last 3 children, who would’ve never been born had I taken my life. • • I’m grateful for the love and support I receive from them and the solidarity among my children today to help spread awareness and de-stigmatize mental health problems. • • Thank you @yourtribeclothing for helping so many find their voice. 💗 • • • #keepingitreal #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #healing #hope #joy #peace #family #lds #5khero #morethanprayers #projectsemicolon #determination #inclusivity #expression #creativity #resilience #runningonresilience
