My life has taken a turn for the best. Tragedy turned to triumph and I’m no longer sulking in self pity. I have a new career path and fitness goals.

I also was honored to meet many other fitness celebrities such as Linda Shelton,Tony Little, Keli Roberts, and John Abdo.

If it wasn’t for that guy on the beach in the tight spandex pants with the bird, I truly believe I wouldn’t have known about fitness. Gilad instilled in me the empowering feeling of believing in myself, inspiring me to succeed, overcome adversity and be a success story.

You’ll have to ask him what happened to that bird.) It was a dream come true for me. All I wanted was for him to read my thank-you letter. I got more than I ever imagined. As if that wasn’t enough, I was called back to do another promotion in Hawaii. It happened again, and I enjoyed every moment of it! My life has taken a turn for the best.
