I am so glad I fell in love with this sport after taking time to work on my mental health and personal development after my very first show way back in 2015.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This has been non-stop for me ever since then and I am so grateful for this lifestyle. It has become more and more like first nature to be in this mindset.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much I want to accomplish, and Which I want to/need to be, much of which simply requires time, trust, patience, dedication, and perseverance.

Good thing I love this so much! 😉 I ain’t in no rush, even when you get what you set out for there’s always another next level so I’m just going to keep focusing on what’s required of me right now and allow the outcomes to fall into place as they are meant to. I know that if I take the action necessary, it’s inevitable...so I will allow this to unfold as it is meant to.

I am proud of myself, As mentioned in a previous post, I brought my BEST look to the stage for my last show of this season and am looking forward to building and maximizing the last few months of the year to grow mentally and physically to compete again around February 2019.

I am so in love with this journey and process that I am going to soak up every moment of it. The sport is not experienced in 12 or 16 week preps. It’s experienced in the details, the commitment to the long term game. Passion lies in the persistence and the pursuit of continued excellence. I know I am competitive, I know I have up-levelled my physique, and I know there’s always room for improvement. I’ll be sending photos in for judges feedback & continue to WORK!
