I am super excited to share with you the final version of the book cover “10 Stories of STRONG LIVING” a project that I am honored to be a part of! There were so many great things about this experience but I just want to highlight a few.
We all have a story that is unique to us, makes us who we are and connects us to the world and people around us. Sharing our stories can create laughter , give comfort, fill gaps of loneliness, give hope and help to lead others through unknown territory! Our stories can be gifts to others.
I have had the opportunity to share an advance copy of he book with a few people. Some of them have been sharing with me the parts that resonated with them the most. The cool part is that it has been different for everyone! Different thoughts and ideas speak to us in different ways at different times in our life. As we grow we change, our ideas change, our beliefs often change and so can our dreams.
We all have our own definition of success. Sometimes it takes a lot of digging, living and risking to really understand and find our own definition of success. It is easy to define ourselves by the thoughts and intentions of everyone around us. Just as our dreams can change over time so can our definition of success. There is no right or wrong only what is right or wrong for us at our present moment.
Lastly, when you continually aim to keep stepping forward and you surround yourself with people who push you to be your best you will continue to climb and be presented with opportunities.!!!
As you see above Todd Durkin wrote the foreword to this book. I was super excited when I found out that he was going to have a part in it and even more humbled to read it a few weeks ago. Flash back to about 14 years ago, I first encountered Todd Durkin at a fitness convention. I had just had my first child and was unsure exactly where my path was leading me. I felt like my dance career was in its final chapters and had just begun to explore the fitness industry. When I met Todd I was overtaken by his passion, his energy and his enthusiasm not just for fitness but for life! I remember thinking I need to get to know this person. In the past 14 years I’m not sure that I have learned more from any one person about the fitness industry, myself and life! It is a bit surreal to be at this place 14 years later and to be a part of a book in which Todd Durkin wrote the foreward.
Sometimes we don’t have a direct plan, sometimes we get derailed from what we think is the right plan, but I believe in the power of positive energy, hard work and sometimes jumping even when you are not sure exactly where you will land. When we keep moving we will end up exactly where we are meant to be!
I am excited for all of you to be able to read, experience and share the stories of the 9 other amazing individuals that are also a part of this book! The book will be released June 6th on Amazon. Stay tuned for more details on a book signing party at FitHouse as well!!!
