Two weeks of the TTC + some life thoughts

So, I just finished my second week of the Strength for Life Transformational Training Camp. I started a week later than intended. All seems to be going well. I missed one FIT session, so need to buckle down on making sure that I go over my program each morning so that doesn't happen again.
I'm feeling a lot of Love for Life right now. There's a lot of uncertainty in my future, at this moment. Yet, the stress that this may normally cause me is giving way to acceptance, bliss, and beautiful release. Every moment is a reminder that I have control over nothing but my own actions. I can choose to respond to life's obstacles with Love and Embrace and Healthful healing, or with fear and avoidance and shadowy denial.
If you are reading this, I thank you. Really. I have so much gratitude for your existence. I know my life's purpose is to serve you. It serves me when I serve you. I'm considering getting my personal trainer's certification, so that I can share my own success and love for life and accomplishing personal goals with the world.
But along with that, I want to hold space for you. I want to honor where you are right now and the beauty in the fact that you want to achieve something more. This is what I do for myself, and it brings me such great Joy on a daily basis.
My plan is to give free personal training sessions to as many people as possible while I work on my certification. If you're interested let me know, and I'll let you know once I get started on my certification program. My hours would be after work hours, obviously. Hopefully, that would work for you :)
Hmmm... what else? I'm sitting at Barnes and Noble right now with a Bill Bryson book on my lap. Have you read any of his stuff? This one is In a Sunburned Country.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to honor your beautiful existence, today.
Isn't Life just an absolutely breathtaking experience?? I think so!

Good mantra… I love it and want to know how it goes. I can't imagine pushing to the limit and beyond but see through you that that is what you do so well. Thanks for leading the way. The estimation of effort is going beyond and our own potential always shines through. I would be first in line to use your advice as a personal trainer. You are a super star.
