Reflection?

Itchy throats are itchy? Its a tickle thats so not funny! Whenever I get not feeling well and have to stop I realize its my bodies way of telling me to take a step back. LMAo not even take a step back...friggin stop already!!
I tend to be a workaholic....is that even the right term?
My brain is constantly goin.....how can I do this? what would make that better? Tweek here tweet there....yada yada!
I preach be in the moments but some times Im in the next year!!! LMAO!
I love seeing people succeed...in whatever it is I they should succeed in.....LOL!! Was that a freudian slip.....I think not!
I always see potential in people! Sometimes even when they don't. Its what made me a great counsellor with teens high risk youth "actually.....the trick was getting them to see and recognize it themselves!
I believe thats what makes a great counsellor.....they dont tell you anything...they just help you to find it out for yourselves! They Empower you!!!!!
This is I believe what makes me a great trainer also! Empowerment is a powerful thing!...LOL!!!
Okay reflections over the past day or two....#1 Day time TV is brain rotting material.....
what the (&(*&*&*&T%&^%E$? Dr Oz..well he has a few intelligent things to say..... I dont watch TV usually and spending the day forcing myself to just REST was an exercise in itself.
#2 The gym has been such a love hate realtionship for me! We celebrated our 11th year.....OMG goin into our 11th year!!!!
I can remember when people told me I was nuts to open a gym in Aldergrove....LMAO!! Alot of people said that it would never work.....are you kidding me? It will work if I say its gonna work....and Ill keep on keepin on until it does!!!
I keep thinkin back to the days of construction, pinching myself evey day to make sure it was real!!
The first year holy crap batman....not only struggles of new business but a relationship with an alcohlic drug addict to....ya thats right you guys didnt know that part did ya???
My partner who opened the gym with me was an alcohlic drug addict/ great trainer. Its wierd he was one of the best trainers I ever knew who had this very EVIL other side to him.
Well needless to say being a drug addict is not condusive to running a business, so he had to go....before he stole everything in the place!!! That was a ruff one for me....wow? One day Ill write about that and you will be like thats so crazi know one could make that shit up!!!

So for the last 10 years Ive been running this huge Octopus....with its long far reaching arms an tentacles that reach out and grab you at all hours and anytime it feels like it! I have learned so much from this process!
At first I just wanted everyone to share in my passion of fitness!
Come come to the gym...get healthy...get happy...enjoy life!!! Hurry hurry let me share it with you!!!
and then the reality sets in....phone bill? hydro bill? gas bill? costco bill? equipment maintenance, tanning bed maitnenace, stereo, tv fix.....mats heavy bags classes,,cardio.....members want what? OMG!!!!!!! you want a deal? you cant pay this month but you still wanna use the club? you bounced your cheque but its our fault? ahhhhhhhhh!!! You can't see why I dont want you to drop the wieghts from two feet in the air? No iM not your mother, please put away your own wieghts.....Do i need to help you lift those?
Pretty sure the coffee shop next door is more sutiable for the lengthy cell phone conversation your having taking up a perfecty good bench! I didnt realize your time was more valuable than the rest of the members? oh ya and by the way.....your all fitness fanatx members in here..period!

you know the owner...lol yup so do I!
and seriously that has happened. Over the counter this person says to me I know the owner and "He" said I could get this deal! I burst out laughing...

People? you see the very worst and the very best? A smart ripped freak said that to me about another event that we attended and its stuck with me.

I have been afforded the luxury of meeting some really great people! Inspirational peeps! Parralel paths so to speak...very kewl stuff! It always just confirms to me...the energy you put out there is the energy that you are going to attract back! Period!
No matter what the encounter, things happen for a reason....the wise ones figure out what the reason are!
Im grateful for many, John, Dean, Judy,Sophia, Kerri, Barb, Willa, Nicole and tooooo many more people that have become part of the fabric of my life!
