Pilates day2

Tonight I have my second Pilates Class at Pure Form Pilates in town at 19:15. 

The first class was last week Friday. We arrived super late, struggling to find the place... But finally got there, myself all red-faced and barefoot and Leah, all ready and prepped! 

I'm super excited to feel the burn and to really get things firm! 😁 

Ciao for now!

It seems my timing is off

It seems my timing is off.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. So remember: great achievements take time, there is no overnight success.--- Ritu Ghatourey

Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure. --- Unknown 

I am going to be honest with all of you and tell you that I am not prepared to do this course just yet. It is unfair of me to ask you all for money and support when I am not ready to take on this challenge.

I will be training in the art of Pilates, become fit in it so that I am prepared to teach it properly and to take on this role. I am a firm believer in experience and learning from that experience. And THAT is the kind of teacher I want to be. I believe that I bring it into my everyday life, and I believe that is is something I can bring across to learners as well as other teachers.

So this is the plan. I am going to train with my sister where we will learn together and support each other and get strong together. This will help us to get closer to each other and closer to our goal of getting fit and healthy.

Oh! What a life.

Thank you Jesus for giving me wisdom and courage, for being my personal saviour and life-long friend. Oh how I love you!

The Quiet Before the Storm

I am so thankful to those of you have supported me in the last couple of days.

I feel the huge quiet before the storm. It is in this time that it is so easy to lose faith and jump to doubtful conclusions. You start thinking about quitting, about taking the lesser option, about moving out of the country and quitting everything!

But there are a few of you who look at me freaking out, jumping around, having back spasms and face spasms, and just calmly say "It's ok Jess, I know you can.".

These are not always shown in words, but in gestures big and small. 

I appreciate everyone of you. Even just for reading this blog.

I got me some Piggy's!

I have just received my first Piggy Bank transaction!!

R 200.00 ( R 26,020.00 to go - KA-CHIiiiiiIIIiing!! )

Thank you Piggy number one.. Whoever you are... ;)

If you would like to become a Bank Piggy.. Let me know and I will send you my banking details!
