In all honesty, after a few months of exploring the other side of the world, I am back home and ready to pick up where I left off...same focus, same desire with a whole lot of energy and a new set of goals!
I have to say, one thing that I learned overseas, was to stay grounded. We live in a country full of opportunity and hope and dreams- which I completely embrace, but sometimes I feel so wrapped up in that, I forget what truly makes me happy... I had to question, is it really my accomplishments that define me? Although fulfilling my goals are a huge part of my life, it is not my main source of happiness! My family, my friends... the people who I love ... they make me who I am, they keep me going. So before I blog on about my career goals, I have to send out a big cyber bundle of LOVE to all the people in my life... you know who you are :)
With all that said and done, let's get down to business!
As I re-read my original goals in previous posts, I clearly had the mindset to compete. How quickly things have changed. As much as I love the stage, the spotlight, the performance, the competition- it's going to be on the backburner until the end of the year. To be bigger, to be more defined, to have better skills, to have an awesome routine... to win more titles...yes I'd love that, but right now my focus has a bit more depth to it.
I recently started working at Camp again. I love my job. I absolutely love it. It is a blessing to witness such a positive change in people's lives. The other day I was in the gym teaching yoga and an old camper walked in the door. I nearly fainted. This woman lost so much weight and I barely recognized her. She looked amazing and happy and full of life. She ran up and hugged me and she couldn't stop saying "thank you- it was all you, baby". I love her! I will never forget any single camper that I get to work with. Their dedication inspires me more than they will ever know!
I am happy to report I have also had the opportunity to work more outside of work, if you will. As many of you know, last year I attended a Fitness Model International Conference and it was a huge networking experience for me. I met so many people in the fitness industry that led to booking commercials, magazine spreads, sponsors, photoshoots, contributing articles and tv hosting! I am ever so grateful for that experience and it gave me a real foundation of where I wanted to take my fitness career beyond competing and training.
With that said, the media section on my website has been updated. I have been hosting fitness and lifestyle shows for LA Muscle TV which is actually airs on Europes SKY TV Cable. It is also available to watch online at www.lamuscle.tv
