I’m Tonya & Welcome to My Blog!

This is a lifestyle blog so I can share a variety of things, but for 2024 it’s going to mostly be about me finally getting serious about my health and ‘doing things my future self will than me for” – as my holistic fitness coach Cookie Miller says.

It’s also about being tenacious in pursuing my entrepreneurial calling, traveling abroad, and other life things.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • How I started?
    TODAY is the first day on my new weight loss journey. I’m starting at 332 lbs, which is down from my pandemic high weight of 351 lbs, but up from my last year low of 325 lbs. How did I get here? It wasn’t because of a health scare because I’ve had some issues and… Read More »How I started?
  • Weightloss Strategy Version 5687413
    At lease I’m persistent….at least I am if you take the long view of things. I’ve been losing weight for over 20 years. My biggest problem is remaining consistent in the things I need to do to make it work like going to the grocery store to keep healthy food readily available or even stretching… Read More »Weightloss Strategy Version 5687413
  • Tackle The Hun
    Jesus life testifies to us that seeing the Will of God done in our life requires that we endure some hard things.  “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” – 2 Timothy 2:3 KJV I believe the Lord is saying to me that 2020 is my Year of tackling my HUNs.… Read More »Tackle The Hun

Creative Channel

  • Taking Inventory
    I’m starting this journey with a lot of creative baggage – the good kind.  From drawing fashion and making doll clothes with tape and straight pins to teaching myself to sew then making hats and handbags to painting art to graphic design to building websites to designing rooms. The Lord has blessed me to acquire… Read More »Taking Inventory
  • Artists & Imposters
    I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil…but I have never called myself an artist. I’ve taught myself to make almost anything with fabric, paint, beads, and a laptop…but I have never thought of myself as an artist. The first step along my journey has been dealing with the #impostersyndrome that seems to be so… Read More »Artists & Imposters
  • Creative Journey
    I love to travel. Doesn’t matter how – planes, trains, SUVs, ships – I am here for all it it. When I’m traveling nothing bothers me. Not the airport lines or the too-small seats or the waiting to deboard once I arrive. Not seemingly endless miles to drive, getting gas at suspect places with names… Read More »Creative Journey

Faith Channel

  • The God of the Impossible
    An Impossible Situation About four hundred years before Moses birth, through God’s providence Jacob’s son Joseph arrives in Egypt under less than promising circumstances.

  • Child-like Faith
    “And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:3 KJV Little Children are considered innocent because they believe what adults tell them.  Much like Adam & Eve before The Fall, they have no real awareness of evil… Read More »Child-like Faith
  • Faith Over Fear – Part 1
    Being wise is good…but trusting God is better! In 2013, I was driving a ‘98 baby blue 2-door Ford Explorer that I bought used in 2000 for $14k. The engine was solid but everything else on it was rachet including my drivers seat which would not stay upright on its own. I kept the rear… Read More »Faith Over Fear – Part 1

  • The Universe has a Name T-Shirt
    We often hear people refer to the universe as if it’s a cosmic force with a will of it’s own and the ability to make things happen. The central moral agent and force for change in the world.
