Well, I guess I had to succumb to the pressure eventually. It seems the world is being taken over by blogs. Now I have one to share all my latest and greatest adventures.
I've moved around a lot, from Los Angeles to Connecticut, back to Los Angeles. Now I'm in the middle of the Hollywood scene. I worked as a nanny briefly, but I've been a massage therapist for 8 years. I bounce around between private clients, chiropractic offices, and at a fancy Spa in Beverly Hills. My entrepreneurial spirit has kicked in and I'm starting a journey as a real estate investor and a business owner. I just purchased my first investment property, and I'll be opening a day spa in Arizona before the end of this year.
I've made some significant changes physically, over the past 3 years. I spent most of my life over 200 pounds, but after focusing on living healthier, eating better, and TRYING to enjoy working out, I lost about 60+ pounds. It's been an exciting journey, and a great excuse to go shopping. I'm currently training for the AIDS San Francisco Marathon in August. I'm scared shitless, but I've done more than I ever thought possible. My body has shocked and amazed me. Two weeks ago, I ran 14 miles. Tomorrow, I'm planning to do 16. It still blows me away just to say that.
My family is amazing. My mom is working full time, and going to school full time. She was so young when my brother and I were born that she never went to college. Her going to college at forty-something blows me away. She's my hero. My dad had a kidney transplant a few months ago, so he's doing well these days. My brother Edric is doing really well. He moved out here to LA a couple years ago and is working a few jobs, going to school, goin to the gym. He's always striving for personal growth, and he never stops inspiring me. I have a baby brother (with the same mom), named Zeke who is 6 years old. He is the smartest, funniest kid I've ever met. He's all about "bad guys", legos, and rough little boy stuff. He's hilarious.
Oh, yeah.....and a few weeks ago, I walked on fire at a Tony Robbins seminar. Yes. Hot, red, burning embers under my soft, fleshy feet. Didn't feel a thing. No blisters, no nothin. Yes, I'm a rockstar. :)
So that's the background on me.... I guess I'll post more later.
