Best Trophy Ever!

​I recently changed up some things around my studio and came face to face with this trophy. It's funny how a change in your physical space can provide a new perspective! This trophy, I have to say, is the best one I have earned, ever.  It's not about what I won it for or what it took to get there- it's my favorite because of the way it looks and what that says to me. One leg and arm are unfinished, representing so much of what we can do with the rock of our unfinished bodies. Like our minds, our bodies are a work in progress. Throughout years of losing weight, changing my lifestyle, competing for decades, then having a child, my body has transformed beautifully. And, as with every masterpiece, I continue to work on it daily.  Can you image Leonardo, Michelangelo, or Picasso walking away from their masterpiece and saying, 'I'm just too busy, it's not a priority!' Oh, hell no! Picasso was working at 3 am on April 8th, just hours before his death in 1973 at 91 years of age. Now this is inspiring! Treat your body as a masterpiece in progress, and work with that enthusiasm to make it better. ​
