Brigitte-
You have a RIDICULOUSLY amazing gifted TALENT of seeing the potential in others, often when they don’t see it in themselves. I’ve NEVER met anyone like you that can visualize other people’s lives and future like you can. You choose every single day to make your life about your family, your PURPOSE and helping others seek out THEIR potential. You remind people of how capable they are when they doubt themselves which is such a gift to mankind. Your ripple effect has changed the lives of THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS yet you remain so HUMBLE & GRACIOUS with your priorities in CHECK. You ALWAYS CHOOSE to give people the benefit of the DOUBT. You ALWAYS CHOOSE to do the RIGHT thing, even when it’s not convenient or easy. You are my mom goals. My leadership goals. My future-marriage goals. Basically just my HUMAN goals. I will never be able to put into words how grateful Seena & I are for you & Jayson.
Thank you for being you. For showing up. For leading with heart. For inspiring & for convincing me that even though I didn't look like the cover of SHAPE Magazine and that I quit P90X on Day 4 because most normal humans don’t like to do 90 MINUTES of yoga, (EEK ha) that I could still do this crazy thing ;)
Love you so hard.

Two years ago an adorable little blond boy knocked on my door and asked to play with my kids. He told me he was new to the neighborhood and he knew we had some boys...I guess the word is out!
He was polite and well spoken and quickly became a frequent and welcome guest at our house.
Because it was summer time and it's really hot here, it took me a while to walk over and welcome his family to the neighborhood, but as soon as I met his mom Brigitte Linford, I was so happy to have another mom and friend. My life runs better when my village is big, I need all the help I can get.
At this same time I was the heaviest I had been in a long time, addicted to soda and giving up on my health on the inside. My thoughtful sister kept researching ways to help me get healthy and suggested I look on my new friend's Facebook page. She said Brigitte ran groups to help people get healthy and lose weight.

I joined her challenge group and now my friend was also my coach! And with her help I lost over 20lbs and kicked the soda to the curb for good! (Going on 18months now)
Fast forward a few months and people starting asking me what I was doing to get healthy. I referred them to Brigitte, and that is when she suggested I might want to look into the coaching thing.
I knew Brigitte as a mom first, I knew she wasn't a fitness trainer or a nutritionist and neither was I! But I knew she had a big heart and a way of seeing the potential in others that they might not be able to see yet. And I thought maybe I might be able to "learn on the job" if she was my mentor.
Fast forward again and now I was helping people make changes in there lives. They were losing weight, gaining confidence and my inbox every Monday had another weekly success story.
And today I have a coach sitting in Canada at a Super Saturday event, who started out just like me. She saw amazing results in my challenge groups, and is now earning extra income, paying it forward again to her challengers. And she has one of her coaches with her that is doing the same!!!!
This "helping" chain hit me hard this morning. I love that I am a link in this amazing company that helps people first find their joy and then shows them how to reach out and help others do the same. That is something that MOVES me it INSPIRES me!!
It is a force of encouragement that I am proud to be a part of everyday.
Thank you to my dear friend Brigitte for sharing her story, for my sister to see and for encouraging me to be more than an exhausted, caffeine powered mom.
You just never know who you stand to inspire when you open you mouth and your heart
