I am not sure what happened to my previous post so I am trying again. I have to say finding time has been a bit of an issue but I think that is the theme of my life. I am always trying to put 50 hours into a 24 hour day. People think I am crazy with all the things that I do, but honestly I love what I do so why would I want to slow down?
Today I was reflecting on one aspect of my busy life - fitness. My passion with movement goes back to birth- I was always dancing and singing so fitness was a a natural progression. When I learned that I could get paid to teach dance classes I knew I had found my career. I started under the guidance of some of the best in the business- Deborah Yates, Merleen Sullenes, and Karen Holden- people I still call friends today. Recently the internet has brought back to life the fitness competitions of the 1980's- that is how I spent most weekends in high school. I traveled around with Deborah to all the fitness events with her kids. We spent a lot of time at the mall! I then began teaching classes of my own at AVAC- and now 27 years later I am still at it. I no longer have the g-string leotards with shimmer tan tights (or the 18 year old body that could wear things like that) but the passion I had then is still the passion I have now. Fitness has provided life long friendships and memories. It has opened doors and given me experiences I forever thankful for. Today was just a reminder of my love of all things fitness!
