It was exactly 1 year ago today that they lifted the COVID group exercise restriction. I still remember the EXACT way I felt. All of the work, accompanied by sweat and tears ( believe it or not, I DO have tear ducts that I utilize them from time to time!) and mixed with excitement had mounted to this moment. Was I going to sink, or was I going to swim ? I had put everything on the line. Financially and emotionally. With a penny in my pocket and a prayer in my heart to my BIG G …. Here. We. Go ! Puckered b***y and all !
My first class had three participants. Even then, my heart was set on fire. I was SO proud in that moment. No matter what happened from here, I took my first step. Classes continued to grow, the months started to pass, and I became comfortable leading our tribe.
And just like that, I blinked. Here we are . 1 year anniversary. How do you adequately thank all the people who helped you grow along the way without even knowing it? How do you show gratitude to the riders who continue to believe in you and stick with you through the thick and thin? How do you describe to others what it feels like being able to live out a purpose that makes you happy every day? How do you repay all those who lift my spirit and make me laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY ?
You don’t. Because you can’t. But you try anyways. You just keep showing up. Being the best that you can be for yourself and for others . Hopefully inspire someone else to live out their dream like I did mine. Hopefully give someone the self-confidence and self worth they’ve been working on achieving. Hopefully provide others with a sense of community to help them feel grounded Hopefully be a cheerleader and offer support to anyone who needs it. And lastly, hopefully to continue growing our tribe for continued success for the years ahead
Be Still My Heart ♥️
Tomorrow , we celebrate - SULIT style 🎉
But for tonight , goals and gratitude 🙏
