Hello! We have been working on a little refresh to this site and a little adjusting to go along with it.
During the process, I realized the last time I introduced myself or crafted a page about myself was way back in 2014. That was FIVE years ago! Since that time I’ve had two boys enter college and another headed that way in a few months. In five years, I’ve had so. many. changes.
I have also had some changes in the way I view, encourage and strive to live a balanced healthy lifestyle. I am excited to get back to this space and share again after taking some time off. If you are new here, or have forgotten what I’ve been writing and sharing about, are interested in nuggets to have a balanced healthy lifestyle, longevity, find ways to love and appreciate each day, then I hope I can still be a source.
One big change is this is no longer MarlaDeenFit.com but simply MarlaDeen. You can still get all of my old content, recipes, tips and oversharing, it’ll all just be right here at www.MarlaDeen.com instead.
So, let me re-introduce myself. . .
Love this and YOU!!! 😘
And right back at you!! THANK YOU!
Great to have you back Marla! I always enjoyed your posts.

That makes me laugh!
Love your transparency and positive view on life. I just learned of a study conducted by the world health organization that people with positive attitudes especially about their future live 7-10 years longer than those who don’t. Crazy how important positivity is to our health. Keep up the good work! Fran
Here’s to those extra years, right?!
Marla-Deen this is awesome! You are so uplifting! Thanks for this and I will continue to read and be insnpired by you! You are such a role model to so many women!
Thanks Kristi!

Your positivity and happiness have always been contagious! One of my favorite memories of you was from when your kids were younger and playing baseball. You would stand behind the fence in the outfield and yell to your boys at bat “Hit one to Mama!” and they would! Because you believed 100% in them and they knew it!! You inspire us because you believe in all of us like that too – and we know it! Keep encouraging and supporting but know you have also hit homeruns too! Thank you for swinging for the fences and encouraging us to do the same! So proud of you! !
What a fun memory!! Thanks much!
You always amaze me. You have such a positive spirit and uplifting energy. I know times aren’t always rosy, but you always have a smile and a kind word for everyone around you. I love following your blog and find wonderful inspiration in every word. Thank you for your honesty. You’re certainly not alone in your challenges. I’m glad you’re back and sharing your words of love, encouragement, and insight:-)
Love hearing from you!
