About Me

May the Good Lord bless you abundantly and may you find something here that assists you on your journey.

Welcome!  My name is Lena.  I'm a lover of Christ, wife, and mama of five, striving to live a JOYfilled life.

I was once an elite athlete.  Today, I'm relearning how to properly care for my body.  What worked I got away with when I was at my prime, no longer cuts it for me now--thirty-something with nine ten pregnancies underway.  Needless to say, the demands on my mind and body are much different today than they were just a couple of years ago.

I strive to glorify God with all that I have been blessed with, including my body.  I desire to maintain optimal health to better fulfill my vocation.  I seek to lead my family along this journey--a more simple and natural lifestyle.

I'm not an expert nor have I perfected this lifestyle.  I'm just a mama and follower of Christ, seeking to submit everything, even my food, to Him.  This blog serves as a place to share what I'm learning and report on what is working for me and my family. 

You are invited to come along and encouraged to share.

May we all, glorify God with all we have and all we do.

Ad Jesum per Mariam, 

Lena

'All For' is a term that comes from St. Louis de Montfort's Total Consecration to Mary.  It implies that everything is done for Jesus, through Mary.

"I am all yours and all I have is yours, O dear Jesus, through Mary, your holy Mother."
