Tembo

this is where it all started for me.

i’m back at my high school, subbing for one of my favorite pe teachers when i was there. i went into the weight room for a work out and it all hit me - this is where i fell in love with fitness - as a career, a personal journey, a dedication to my future family, and where it became a passion of mine. i was always an athlete, but i had natural talent. this is where i built my strength, where i showed the boys i could do what they did, where all my troubles went away. this was the beginning of building a new safe space.

walking into those doors again (despite a few upgrades) felt like i went back in time. it was scary of how hard that realization hit but also exactly what i’ve been needing. sometimes, you never know where or how you’ll find the inspiration or push or motivation, but once i stopped looking for it - it came to me. in a way i never thought possible.

so, if you have been looking for a sign…i’ll share mine with you!
