Looking out the airplane window at the beautiful sunrise and fluffy clouds I can’t help but think about life and the things that happen on a daily basis. The trials are challenging, yet I am thankful. The lessons are frustrating, yet I choose joy. The battlefield of the mind is real!

Take a second and look at your feet and pay particular attention to your toes. Did you know your toes and core are essential with balance and keeping you upright? Your big toe is crucial and the most important; it bears 40% of your weight. If you are missing your big toe then your balance can be thrown off. You need a strong core to stabilize your body to allow movement in any direction as well as having proper balance. It helps prevent falls and supports your body. So having a strong core is beneficial to everyone because it allows your body to function properly.
