This past weekend I taught my last fitness class. It was hot & sweaty - but I’ve arrived at the finish line. Honestly, it’s been a long time coming. There were so many lessons, so many opportunities, amazing friendships, many many unforgettably heartfelt moments but also many frustrations and unmet expectations.
Today marks 18 years in USA and I managed to always have two sources of income or more. Fitness came in last, during some personal hardships, in the last half of my Americanized life; it accidentally became my passion that also paid some money. Officially, I resigned from teaching at the gyms. Ironically, less than two weeks ago, I got myself another certification, so obviously, just not the way I’ve done it thus far: learning different formats, wanting for people to follow/like me, getting stronger & better together... to always be called too strong, a beast, or... a Zumba instructor. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for Zumba company that opened so many doors but that’s not my company (in all meanings of that word).
My KES Fit was more or less an expression of who I am and I had huge hopes & dreams around it. After many failures, unfinished projects, some due to my personal struggles in the biz, I finally realized my biggest why, that was always behind it all, snoozing. Can’t kid myself for another decade...
I came to USA to better my life - holistically / inside-out and what I’ve always wanted was a loving family. I can finally do that with this handsome stud. Just like anything worth building takes time and effort, marriage does too.
