JOURNEY

Friday, November 20th, 2009

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began

though the voices around you

kept shouting

their bad advice

… little by little

as you left their voices behind

the stars began to burn

through the sheets of clouds

and there was a new voice

which you slowly

recognized as your own

that kept you company

as you strode deeper and deeper

into the world….

Good.  Now stay there.  Or otherwise bust out of that mental prison cell and make some progress.

Blessed Redundancy

Friday, September 18th, 2009

It is hard to stay in the game, day after day after day, week after week after week, year after year after sweet blessed year.  Sometimes I look at myself in the gym mirror and think “What the hell am I doing here again?”  Still it is just 2 hours a day, which leaves me 22 other hours to enjoy many other pursuits.  Pursuits, that no matter what they are, will be much more fun and enjoyable inside a fit and healthy body.

AND THE MOST INCREDIBLE WOMAN ON BODYSPACE IS….

BRONWYN!

Can I be you?

Can I worship you?

Can I study at your feet?

Amazing….

Amazing…..

and all I would like to be.

Head Out Of Ass, Start Again

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

BodyBuilding is the art of re-creation.  As exemplefied by the competitive FBB.  Perseverence and commitment being our sole support we wear our INNER STRENGTH on the outside.  What was once a possibility, becomes reality.  The ULTIMATE goal being to achieve the unbelievable.

These Are The Letters That Touch Me….

….& make every workout worthwhile.

 

 Maddi,

I think we are long lost sisters…. LOL

In all seriousness, I am finding myself where you were at 250, except I’m 225. I used to be very strong and fit and then I had a hard pregnancy and a whirlwind year since giving birth. My baby girl is now one and I’m ready to start to reclaim myself. Thanks for saying the “unpopular” things you do about motherhood. I’m so glad someone has the guts to say it. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I think you rock and I am motivated by you and think you’re sexy and tough as hell. You are so right about our “fear-based” issues. But I desperately don’t want to be that mom that has totally given up on herself and goes from being a woman to this androgynous martyr who doesn’t give a damn. NOT ME!! I’ve never sent an email like this before but you really touched me with your story, your posts and your attitude. I look up to you.

Go Getters

Monday, June 1st, 2009

I want to thank you all so much for your kind emails.  If I haven’t written you back it is because we are battling a virus on our computer at the moment.  I love bodybuilding because it has given me an amazing life.  It is a calling to me…and like anyone else with a calling,….it feels so terribly good when you find it.  The shoe fits just right;  you are content, personally satisfied.  I don’t need a whole lot to make me happy.  Love of a few close people I respect, personal freedom, and 2 hours a day of gym time.  Everything else is negotiable to some extent.  Those three things to me never are.  I want to encourage everyone right now to be who they really are.  Stop following society’s doctrines.  Find and form your own.  Listen to the sound of your own heart…what’s going on on the inside.  Just like any good Disney movie will tell you…the answer lies on the inside.  Don’t let haters and negative people ever tear you down or stand in the way of your goals.  Walk around or right on top of them.  Your goal should be firmly in sight and that is all that you see.  It really is a holy grail sort of quest.  Not just bodybuilding but any goal you are after.  I have said it before, but it stands to be repeated until every last cow comes home.  SELF LOVE IS THE PATH YOU ARE LOOKING FOR….AND IT WILL TAKE YOU VERY FAR.  You are worth every bit as much as the next guy, and society will determine your value by the value you place upon yourself.  Now go get ‘em!  Go get ‘em!!  Go get ‘em!!!!!

Baby Not Going Back

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

So glad I have my online boyfriends, my text message love slaves, to talk with throughout the week.  They keep me inspired, keep my dirty little ass in line.  Let’s face it.  If I were trying to please anyone else in this life…..most everyone else would be QUITE PLEASED if I were to gain 30 lbs.
