  • “A reel RED thriller…the Silent Killer!”

    February 2, 2024 “A reel RED thriller…the Silent Killer!” February is Heart Health Awareness Month, a time when all people, especially women are encouraged to focus on their cardiovascular health. This heart month, the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention is encouraging women to listen to their hearts and speak up for their health. In celebration of Heart Health Awareness, Fit/Nurse Tadda is on a healthy heart crusade.

From just the looks of her, she ....

  • "Stop Blaming Your Age"

    January 26, 2024 "Stop Blaming Your Age" Recently I was administering a new client an IV therapy. When I pulled out my blood pressure machine prior to the infusion she smacked her teeth. I said are you okay, she replied, yes, I knew you would probably do my blood pressure. I said do you have high blood pressure? She replied yes but not really, it just comes with aging. Her blood pressure read 197/102 (I had to infuse her IV slowly). I asked if she takes her blood pressure medication, she replied no not all the time. Me: Blank stare. As I started asking her more questions about her health and looking at her lab results, she continued to blame them on aging. I observed ....

  • I Was a Hypocrite Y'all

    January 19, 2024 “I was a hypocrite y’all!” Tonight, I shared a story with my clients while I was teaching yoga and now, I’m sharing it with you. I was a hypocrite y’all! A hypocrite is a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that contradicts those beliefs. You see it wasn’t until I acknowledged my ways, took action to change them that my life went into a more positive direction. It changed so much that many doors and opportunities opened that I couldn’t even dream possible started to happen. I got in the best shape of my life. I ....

  • Just Keep on Hating

    January 12, 2024 "Just Keep on Hating" A pastor asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast. “Lord, I hate buttermilk,” the farmer began. The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wonder where this was going. The farmer loudly proclaimed, “Lord, I hate lard.” Now the pastor was growing concerned. Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, “And Lord, you know I don’t much care for raw white flour.” The pastor once again opened an eye to glance around the room and saw that he wasn’t the only one to feel uncomfortable. Then the farmer added, ....

  • "Free your mind...The declutter will follow"

    December 8, 2023 "Free your mind...The declutter will follow" Everyone who knows me knows that I keep a very clean and organized home. I am the type that everything has a place and purpose. I can’t stand clutter. Well, how did I get here? My kitchen was driving me crazy. Rushing daily, instead of taking my time to place the Tupperware or pots and pans back organized I got to the point where I would just open a cabinet slowly and just throw them in quickly so nothing else would fall out. My junk drawer started to overflow to the point where I couldn’t close it completely and then one day, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed the garbage can and I cleaned out ....

  • “Be Resilient and Bloom”

    December 1, 2023 “Be Resilient and Bloom” As I was setting up for our outdoor circuit training workout at 4AM Thursday morning, it was quite cold and the temperatures this week in Atlanta were as low as 30 something degrees. All the leaves are off the trees and all the plants/flowers seemed to be dead or withered away. As I was bringing the equipment out, I saw this beautiful pink rose in full bloom. I immediately looked up to heavens and started to thank God. I first thanked God for the breath that I could see in the early morning sky. Then for this flower which for me symbolizes resilience, hope and perseverance. Late Fall/early Winter is a season of darkness, ....

  • “It’s how you PIVOT that matters!”

  • Practicing Mindful Fitness

    Practicing Mindful Fitness My mind is racing today. So much goes into running a business and having a life. Although I was not on the stage Friday, I still have to be in the gym for all fitness sessions most days, giving out B12 shots, IV therapies, counseling clients, then running errands for myself, getting pelleted, spending time at the hospital with my best friend Stephanie as she received her chemo drip, ordering supplies, and the many other things I must accomplish in a day. Sometimes it’s hard for me to slow down. But the health benefits of slowing down and being more mindful are abundant. Finding flow in a world full of distractions takes some work. It ....

  • “Be Like a Palm Tree”

    November 3, 2023 “Be Like a Palm Tree” I have always been fascinated by palm trees. I was once asked during an interview, “If you were a tree what kind of tree would you be and why?” I quickly responded by saying, “That’s easy. I would be a palm tree. One, because you can only find them in warm weather climates, and God knows I loves me some hot weather. I love how elegant they look, always so poised, I love how they sway from side to side like they have rhythm and soul.I love how their strength is unassuming. No matter what comes their way they stand and weather any storm. And finally, even if they fall over, they can ....

  • Stop Shooting the Messenger!

    October 27, 2023 “Stop Shooting the Messenger!” Shooting the messenger" (or "blaming the bearer of bad tidings") is a metaphoric phrase used to describe the act of assailing the person delivering bad news, despite that individual having no direct responsibility for the news being relayed. Thisdestructive behavioris frequently observed in people who receive distressing news. Their first instinct is to lash out at the person telling them the information, rather than addressing the underlying issue responsibly. As the ultimate messenger at TFC I might get a T-shirt made that says, “Don’t shoot me…point the gun at yourself!” Midpoint and end ....
