yourself instead of shaming yourself for what you are lacking . I have finally learned this over the past 9 years . We are so hard on ourselves as mothers , fathers or individuals we want what ’ s best for our children . Remember to stop and smell the roses and enjoy all the hard work that we put ourselves through . I am surrounded by my supportive three brothers & their wives , my wonderful nieces , my nephew , my Mum , my amazing friends , and encouraging trainers , whom have helped me through each difficult time in my life . Thank you to Lello Polcari and Alicia Neasmith , my wonder team , for keeping me focused and pushing me to go for it ! They never let me give up on myself even on those days when you want to throw in the towel . Ever since my return to the Fitness & Bikini Model world in 2018 , every time I have stepped on the Stage I have been on the podium . The medals are great , although I am someone who loves to compete in all aspects of life . As well I guess I love the smell of the spray tan , the choosing of the suits , the hair and make up . LOL ! When you work that hard you deserve to showcase your efforts . At the end of it all Live , Love and Laugh ! Dance like no one is watching … . . Life is a Journey , let ’ s enjoys the ride together , inspire and motivate one another , is there any other way ? Here ’ s to hopefully seeing you on stage for the Mike Clement Classic September 11th 2021 .
Sincerely Louise Vincent
