You just know you're not helpful.” - Kelly Howard “It is all these little teeny, weeny things, teeny, weeny steps, that when you figure out that movement is the domino that's going to make everything better, then it gets easier.” - Kelly Howard “One thing is that I think that we really need things to look forward to. If we have something to look forward to, then life is more fun, we are more motivated. We're more driven.” - Kelly Howard Connect with Kelly Howard through https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffitisfreedom.com%2F (LinkedIn), or https://www.facebook.com/FITisFREEDOMNow (Facebook)!
