MY CPA JOURNEY
BY PATRICIA SEEBER-HAMILTON
I wish to share my Journey how I turned pain into power . In 2018 , I was in a very dark place as I was going through a failed marriage that ended in divorce and my father ’ s passing . My world felt empty and I was lost . I had to dig deep to find the light as my 6 years old watched my every move . I chose to take that pain and turn it into power by doing my first bikini bodybuilding competition at the age of 38 .
I always had a love for Fitness , something my father and I had in common . I knew my father would be proud from the heavens , as I walked into this unknown territory of competing . This is something I always wanted to do but never thought to give myself the time . My Barrie first show ( hehehe I made a funny one ) went very well . I placed 4th in my category ! All my pain turned into power and it brought me sooo much peace and joy !
I continued my love for fitness after my competition , with intense weight training to continue to grow . I also did some photoshoots and in time , I found the love of my life , at the gym of course !
Te amo Trevor !
However , a few years later my mama was diagnosed with cancer and given 2 years of life to live . This felt surreal . I took a leave from work to embrace our time together with love , laughter , funny pictures together and talking about anything and everything . Mama and I made sure to make everyday count .
