I'm Baaaaaccccckkkkkk!

It has been some time since my last post. Many new life changes have taken place since then and I wanted to make sure I chose my words and thoughts appropriately.

I have been relecting in the last few months---learning more about myself, the world, and people around me.

The next several posts will all focus on what I've learned and want to share with my family, friends and students.

My goal is to teach and inspire---so that we may all benefit from experiences, error, triumphs...all of it. They are all learning experiences. I have learned to embrace every moment as a learning and teaching tool...To not be embarassed by what I might find, but to share with others because we are all human.


Today's first blog is one that I am extremely passionate about. Lately, I have had experiences where I keep feeling the need to voice my opinion in this regard and here it is:

In the famous words of Grandma Lee (contestant on America's Got Talent):

Cut the CRAP!!!

It's time to get real.

No more sugar coating.

Honesty is the best policy and folks, we need to cut the crap.

BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR LIFE AND ACTIONS.

Stop blaming people and circumstance for your lack of inspiration. Inspire yourself or reconnect with something that moves you.

Don't wait for someone else to make you great.

It doesn't work that way.

I hear excuses ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THHHHHHHEEEEEE TIIIIIIMMMMMME.

For what?

I don't want to hear an excuse for why you feel you are not valuable enough to try.

That's my message---Are you valuable enough to try? YES!

We all are---yet most of us whine and complain and serve up excuses to "not" be great.

I'm tired, I don't have any time, I'm scared, my childhood was difficult, my neighborhood is dangerous, I'm not smart enough...

It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy to fail.

I would rather see everyone succeed and be tired from working hard at being great,
than to see people fail because they didn't think they deserved it.

I get so mad when people are "okay" with not trying.

It hurts my heart.

We all have a potential, we all can be great, we all can inspire...

Yet we choose to go along for the ride and watch other people connect with their greatness.

Then, some of us, knock people down who are trying to be the best versions of themselves.

I could go on forever on this topic alone.

Fit-Ful" is a term created by Lesa which means, the union of fitness and beauty from within (FITness and beautiFUL). Working on fitness to incorporate improved health and self-esteem along with working on internal beauty by developing connections to self image, spirituality of life and society's connection. Beauty from within is much more important than external beauty. How we treat ourselves and others speaks deeper than what clothes we wear.

This is truly beautiful.

Peace and health!
