Journey of faith
Pictured above in 2006 this photo was taken, as I looked out my window, with my morning coffee. My time of giving thanks to God for another day. To reflect on my blessings, big and small. The night before the picture was taken, I was leading a group called "Healing Hearts". A small support group that I organized with monthly meetings, helping each other with the loss of a child and or sibling. We each wrote messages on balloons and in a prayerful circle let them go. This picture was taken that next morning. I view this as a sign. A sign from our loved ones? A sign from God that he knows our pain and hears our heartfelt prayers. I was in tears as I looked at the picture and called everyone in the group. We all have a copy.
Moving forward 8 years later I am using this picture as a guide for the Praise in Motion™ logo. This holds a very special place in my heart and in my eyes signifies HOPE. I feel I have been called to help others. To offer Hope, strengthen the body, lift the spirit and clear the mind. My goal is to teach people healthy Living. Leading them in a new fitness experience. Celebrating Gods Love with Music and Dance!
In order for me to have a heart for this ministry, God knew I must first suffer. I lost my only sibling, my brother, David. He was 26 years old and died tragically in a car accident. I then was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the young age of 29 and had to fight for my life. My children were 8 and 10 years old at the time.
We all have a story, some are very painful. God gave us each a journey and spiritual gifts and thankfully each other. I am grateful that I am not traveling alone.
My health and fitness journey began after my cancer battle. My doctor assured me that the best thing I could do to stay healthy was to exercise. I heard those words and stayed active, keeping my muscles and bones strong, attending 15 years of group fitness classes as a student. That became a part of my life, a scheduled appointment on the weekly calendar that I would rarely miss.
I then took a leap of faith and in July 2008 became a Zumba® Fitness Instructor and became licensed to teach many modalities of Zumba® in the years to follow. I went back to school to receive a Group Fitness Certification in 2010 and received my AFAA certification. Ive just completed another training and awarded a special certificate of achievement as a Senior Fitness Specialist in Sept, 2014. I teach fitness and dance to all ages and fitness levels.
Ages 4 and up! The kids are such a joy! They too love music and dancing.
God laid this ministry on my heart, the seed planted years ago, and I'm hoping your excited as much as I am to get this "Praise In Motion™ " watch it bloom!
Dancing Exercise with Devotion!
Learning to Love who God made me to be. Following his lead. To him goes all the Glory! Jesus is my Savior- not "my religion" John 3:17
Physical health influences your mental health, your spiritual health, emotions & relationships. Let's keep a Healthy Attitude, Together!
