Present 23 Jay romey

 Of course I have to save the best for the last. Jerome, my friend, was there with me at Austin and has been a present with his presence in my life. Everytime we meet it's like a new gift everytime. We have a great time together, we laugh, give each other boatloads of grief, rib one another, workout together, and learn together. The friendship is more like a kinship as I feel a brotherly love to Jerome. We are there for each other and consol...

Assignment #4

     195 days ago my purpose, my why was so that " I could be an example to others so that they may achieve a healthy ,happier more spiritual life. I want to give others what I am getting here". As I revisited my note I kept on my blog and thought about my purpose and why again I felt I read it, understood it, but didn't practice them to their full potential as they related to me. As I begin my second journey I feel ...

Present number 21!

 This present is Kevin Machate. He is a Guinness World Record holder and one heck of a guy. I've known of Kevin from other sites and what is truly amazing is how I have witness this man grow, physically yes, but more importantly internally. He has gone from a person who was kinda all about himself, to a person that puts others needs way before any of his own. When i think about an individual who has become the change, Kevin is definitely one...

Present 20, She's a Lady!

 She's a lady...she's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner...... A Tom Jones classic that reminds of the one and the truly elegant Dianne (Creative Focus). I am fortunate enough that we have met several times and each time we do it's a pleasure. Dianne is awesome. She is a very giving person and to me she is a great example of what this site is all about. She works the program as evident by her physical and spiritual being. This lady r...

 I had a present in my life pass away Jan 2nd. This man was my neighbor and he was a constant present to me and all who knew him. His name was Ross.

I saw him the day before he passed away, his wife called me up to see if I could get their gate w...

19th Present from Austin

 If she looks like a magazine model, and acts like a magazine model, then surely, is she a magazine model? Well this lady looks the part, but Heidi took no prisoners when we went to the gym. Luckily I went for some group training but those poor people who went with Heidi to work out, I bet they hurt for days. Everytime i looked up i saw her go by with a group that was quickly dropping in numbers and looking whipped,lol.  She may be toug...

Present Number Seventeen (two for one)!

 Well she was number 17, you know what I mean, and the way she looked was way beyond the mirror....This of course was AimeeD and she also brought along her husband Charles. Two of the nicest people you could meet. Friendly, funny and again you could tell they are serious about their health. They looked awesome. But when I really noticed AimeeD's beauty is when her,Diane, and Kim were posing in the lobby doing the Bill's Angels video shots wa...

Present 16

 This lady is as fine as this candy. When I saw her last name for the first time it reminded me of the first time I learned of this word.The word is treacle and it was the name of this gentleman's sailboat and he gave me the definition when i asked him what it meant. It'a an English candy made from sugarcane, but now when i think about this candy I think about MichelleT. She is the sweetest person and she is fantastic. She has an awesome sto...

Unwrapping present 15

 I was again pleasantly surprised when I met Mona (Teachnmommy, who I think went back to Mona on the site,lol). She has a great smile and a very warm personality. But then again, what would one expect from the great state of Louisianna! I sat next to Mona during breakfast Sunday morning and we got to talk for a few minutes. Mona was another person I didn't get to spend a lot of time with, but I also knew, along with her there are severa...

My 14th present unwrapped

 Meeting Clara was a total surprise. I had seen and responded to a couple of her threads about nutrition. She seems very knowledgeable and has a way of explaining the complicated stuff so that it makes sense. When you meet her in person she is such a delight to be around and is just plain cool to get to know. She is like our own Genuis, like the ones I go to for training at the Apple store. Very patient and compassionate on how they talk to ...

Present 13

 This came in a bundle of Joy named Denise Taylor. Of course since it's her birthday i had to save it for today also. I met Denise outside of the hotel in Austin right after we pulled up. I told Jerome she reminded me so much of one of the young ladies that I know that competes in body building and who is 23. Tanaya has gone pro, but she can't even hold a candle to how good Denise looks. She is the model of health and fitness. And what a com...

Present number 11

 This present came in the pleasant surprise of a sunshiney present. A full blown smile, a bubbly personality, and someone that you can visably see practices what she believes. When I see this young lady, in person or on the forums, the song from Donovan always comes to my mind...and also one of my favorite snacks..... sunflower seeds. Heck even John Denver has a song about her....Sunshine is her name and spreading sunlight is her game.... sh...

My 10th present

  Vanessa was the 10th present I met on Saturday in Austin. Although we met in Dallas nd have corrsponded a few times, seeing Vanessa again is pure joy. She is a very friendly person and is a person who takes care of herself. She looks fit and fantastic. So much so she reminds me of one of my co workers from when i first hired on at Valero in 1994. That lady is Victoria Gay aka Jazz from the first American Gladiators series. This was my firs...

The comfort I feel when i am in his presence is just awesome. His easy going demeanor immediately sets me at ease. I will look for Larry when I go to the next event because with him I find a friend, comfort and a warm smile and I am at ease. ...

The 6th present I received

 The 6th present I received in Austin that day was another person that I will now call my friend. His name is Raul and we know him as TXTRANSFORMER. And transforming he is doing. He is videoing his experience and even though it is amazing on the screen, in real life his transformation is doubly amazing. What really struck me most about Raul was his demeanor. He has that aura about him that makes you feel good. He is one heck of a guy and am ...
