Happy Fucking New Year!

  2010 was very difficult for me from the beginning.My roommate took his life and sent me into a very strange head space for quite some time.All of a sudden I found myself living alone for the first time,evaluating my life in a deeper way than I thought possible and trying to figure out if I was happy.Suicide really makes you wonder if you're really living.This loss brought me to profound decisions.I decided to do things I never thought I could do.I took a silks class even though I'm terrified of heights,and I LOVED IT!I also decided to start my own business,which I'm in the process of doing as we speak.I also demoted myself from a management position that was making me miserable beyond belief to go back to being a trainer.I can honestly say I wouldn't have done these things if this tragedy hadn't happened.It forced me to look at myself and not want to waste anymore precious time being afraid.I miss Casey dearly and I wish he hadn't decided to leave us.I hope he's happier wherever he may be.
    In the last couple of months,however,everything sped up to really great things.I filmed 2 magic how to videos to be released in March and plans to film a fitness video are in the works.My friend and client Meirav Devash wrote a story for Allure magazine on her incredible weight loss story and mentioned me as her trainer.I'm also starting a musical collaboration with a close friend and I'm very excited about getting started!Of course,the holidays came and everything came to a screeching halt.Went out to Jersey to see the family,had a super slow two weeks at work and came down with a wicked cold on new year's eve so I've been in the house with the cat the whole weekend.As stir crazy as I've been it's helped me get a perspective on the new year,figuring out what my next steps are and what I want to accomplish.This year is going to be the best in years,I can feel it in my bones.Happy New Year to all of you!I know we're all going to kick ass!!!!!

New blog!

Hello!!!!!!!!!What's goin' on!!!Lots of stuff over here which is why I've decided to start a blog.I haven't blogged in years since live journal but I have a couple of things in the works so I wanted a place to bring everything together.First and foremost are my magic instructional videos.Very excited about this project.Magic has been a huge part of my life and who I am since my early 20's.Although I've been in corporate land for the past 3 years magic has never left my heart.How do you think I got a job at a corporate gym in the first place!Witchiepoo!My boss is still trying to figure out how she was talked  into hiring a bald,pierced tattoed woman.Hehe!Anyway,I always knew it was a bridge to something else more meaningful to me.Something more creative,my magical child,so to speak.I decided to blend my magic and my love of fitness by coaching people to incorporate both into their lives.I've always blended tarot readings,yoga,weight lifting,reiki and spellwork etc to get a balanced outlook on life and I want to share that with others.Hence,The Fitness Witch is born.Shnazzy name,isn't it?It hit me the way an anvil hits Wily Coyote.Their will also be an alternative weight lifting video based on my Fitness Witch theory.Plus,I will be collaborating with one of my favorite and talented witches on a musical project soon to be announced.We're vibrating,we're so excited.And,this time,I will be singing,among other things I'm keeping under wraps at the moment.That's all for now.
