We are Fearless. We are Feminine. 
We are Female

And we are fierce:  fierce about our faith, our families and our freedom. 

We are not victims of our past or our circumstances-  we are not merely survivors.
We are  victors in life!

And no matter what our age,  we are valuable, beautiful and talented.  We never  stop dreaming because  we know that as long as we have breath in our bodies, there is a plan for our lives. And we won't stop until that plan is fulfilled!

We are passionate - both lovers and fighters.  We are  both strong and gentle; tender  and  tough.    We can shoot a gun, throw a punch or change a tire and still make a killer casserole.

And we do not sit idle. We defend the weak,  help the helpless and are not afraid to be the first  (and maybe only)  to stand up for what is right.

We are smart, loving, capable and self-sufficient.

We are encouragers, motivators and protectors.

We are mothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters.

And we are women not afraid to be women.  We know we don't have to sacrifice our femininity in order to succeed  and we don't have to compromise ourselves to be appreciated or loved. 

AND we LOVE our men! We appreciate them, realizing they make us better women as we make them better men.  They are our men, we their ladies and we are both warriors side by side.

And yeah, we can open our own door,  but we  prefer they did it for us ;)

Welcome

Hi, I'm Sharise Parviz - actress, dancer, producer, former personal trainer and nutritional consultant,  current fitness and nutrition enthusiast, wife and home schooling mother of three (well now I am only homeschooling two as my oldest is now out the door *sniff,sniff*.)  I created this website in hopes of encouraging  women of all ages to be passionate about their lives. To awaken lost dreams or have the courage to pursue new ones.  To obtain the health and well being that they deserve and that will benefit them in all areas of their  lives and in every role they perform.

From the Heart

First a disclaimer: I am a terrible typist and when I get on a roll, perfect punctuation and grammar go out the window ( though I will try to hit spell check from time to time.) But, if you can overlook the typos and put value in sincerity, honesty, and words from the heart; well, you've come to the right place. Please also remember I am not a doctor and my advice is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any condition and should not replace a visit to your doctor.

A Bigger Purpose

Along with giving you tips on losing weight and staying fit, there is  a bigger purpose here - to give you information you need to take personal responsibility over your health.  We all know  obesity is on the rise-even in children!!  So is cancer, diabetes and heart disease. How about ADHD and autism?  Shootin' thru the roof.  

Having faced my own health crisis with a debilitating disease (read more in My Story)
I understand how difficult being  seriously sick can be.  I also know how our health outcome is mainly dependent on our health choices.

Who do You trust? Who do You Trust?
But isn't that our doctor's responsibility?

There was a time when we relied solely on our doctors to be responsible for our health. To tell us what we need to do to stay well.   But with most doctor visits happening at breakneck speed, can we really rely on our doctors to meet all our health needs? No.  Now, I am not saying don't go see your doctor ( I have a conventional  doctor and a naturopath I visit. ) But  I am saying it is unrealistic to expect  any doctor to be fully responsible for your health.

Also, since most doctors are about "treating" the problem, who is it up to to prevent the problem in the first place?

The Government, right?
Isn't that what the government is for?

There are many who believe it is up to the government to make our health choices for us.
Well then tell me, what kind of "choice" is that?  Seriously, come on.  If we lack the self-reliance and self-control that we need laws in place to control what we eat, that's pretty sad!  Plus, do you really want the government telling you what you CAN and CANNOT eat? and HOW MUCH?  Not me!   No, thank you. That's what Mamas are for. 

It really does come down to us if we want to provide a better future for ourselves and our children!

And so that is why Fearless. Feminine. Female exists - to help you, to encourage you as you walk the road to complete health and well being.  We face so many battles in life - both personal and on a grander scale - and if we are broken in mind, body, soul or  spirit,  then we have lost the battle;  for we cannot win a battle if we don't haven the strength to fight it. 

  So, Welcome  to the Family!

So welcome, sisters!  I do hope  I can help and  encourage you to be the very best you can be.  When you visit Fearless. Feminine. Female, you will find health, fitness and wellness  tips. Also, nutrition advice, recipes, favorites of mine, tips on keeping home, news articles, thoughts from my heart and more.  All focusing on helping you to  become a healthy, whole and fierce fearless feminine female!   

Now,  If you are one who is new to this and feels guilty about taking the time to improve yourself,  well, to say it gently:  "Get over it!"   By you stepping  out in faith and becoming  fit and healthy, you will not only have the strength to fulfill God's plan for your life, but  all those around you will benefit.  And oh,  what an unstoppable influence for good you will be!

Never too Young, Never too Old, and Never too Late

No matter your age, your health or fitness level or your history,  you are welcome here!.

And as I pray over my kids- protection and blessings to you-  from head to toe, inside and out; in body, mind, soul, and spirit ( I know a little obsessive, but hey, I like to cover all my bases.)
