Leg day, Lifting heavy, Squats… squats… squats…

FRUSTRATION… I am so in the zone but my hair keeps getting stuck under the bar.

I put the bar down, reach up and pull that pony to the very top of my head. There, out of the way. Back to business.

I look up and see myself in the mirror, squatting 145 lbs on my shoulders. Wow, how life has changed, and the perfect metaphor RIGHT in front of me. I tend to carry the weight of the world and take on more then I should and stretch myself to the limits to help others. This is not a flaw in my eyes, if I can help you I will… or I will do my very best to in any way possible.

I WANT to help. I WANT everyone to be happy and healthy and most of all I WANT you all to feel loved. So I will happily help you carry the weight until you are strong enough to do so yourself.

In that reflection I also see that blond little pony tail now standing tall above me and I think… hmmm, this is familiar. In my head I start breaking down how often I put my pony up so high. Every time seems to come down to when I am getting serious about something. When things get busy at work I pause and tighten that sucker up, when I am home and doing housework..up she goes! When I am SHOPPING you know that hair isn’t getting in the way!

I had to laugh at myself, what a silly thing that makes me feel so empowered… but also what a great thing for me to realize! Now this doesn’t mean if my hair is down and flowing that I am not taking life or the project at hand seriously, just that I don’t need as much concentration for that particular task perhaps.

Now, I know you girls can relate to this. After a long day of your hair being up… how gratifying is it to pull that elastic out when you get home any give your hair a shake? Just about as great as ditching the bra AMIRITE?! 😉 Time to relax.

Back to the point, I have started this blog in hopes of bringing strong people together. I want to share my insights and experiences in this life to not only grow as an individual but also as part of a global team of fierce independent and strong human beings.

My hopes are to reach out and to empower each other. I am focused on making a difference in your life. I want to be here for you. I want to see you smile and hear you laugh. I want you to feel like you are the Queen or King that I see you as.

So, I have lots of elastics to go around! Or if you are the sock bun type I can find some old socks for you too!

Lets pull it together, bring it up high and lock it in.

It’s our time.

Get to business with your bad self!
