What's it all about, anyway?

Right now, I'm preparing to take the STOTT Pilates training and certification.

I've been teaching Pilates for a little over a year now, loving it, and feel ready to make a bigger commitment and take my training to the next level.

The training is pretty intense. And expensive.

I've been studying like crazy and the classes haven't even started yet.

I hope to be finished by the end of the summer.

Sometimes I look down at my spread of textbooks, flashcards, and anatomy diagrams and ask myself, Melissa, for Pete's sake, what are you doing? 


Am I crazy?

I have a great job as a nurse, why am I chasing this Pilates thing? Why am I already planning on a certification in Yoga next year?

Whee!

Why? Because for some reason I think that's what life's all about.

Chasing what you love.

Even if sometimes I look around and get cold feet.

Anyone else chasing a dream out there?

  2. you are absolutely right and don't be swayed off the "path" for anything..pursue those passions or life will pass you by ..if i know anything about life from 60 plus years that is the truest fact out there..do you remember the joy on nana's face when she got her first article published many years after she had raised a family and was then able to take her writing courses ..she was that happiest woman on the planet..it is never to late ..you keep trudging along and you will have that joy too.. and tell you sister yes that kid is upside down he he..love you
