Where should I start? A lot has happened since the last time I wrote something here. Lately, I've been finding it hard to express myself in words, which is really rare for me. So, I made it point to sit in front of the computer and make myself write whatever came to mind.

Let me start by telling you about everything that's good that has happened in my life. I'm now working at The Gym in Carrollton, Texas as a personal trainer and I start school in January 2007. As for my training, well, it's been a little topsy turvy. First, I wanted to quit. Then, I thought I would try to compete in figure...then fitness. lol I've come full circle now, and although I don't have complete clarity, I know what direction I'm headed in and I'm excited about life again. As far as competing, I plan on competing at the USA's in July...as a light-heavy bodybuilder. Yep, I plan on picking where it all started. I miss the stage and I have a ton of support, particularly from J.T. from Truebodies.com. J.T., you've been a shoulder to lean on and have become one of my truest friends...thank you.

I look back on my previous post about my break up and it's so depressing. I guess we all have to go through heartache and pain in order to grow and learn to love in a bigger and better way, so to speak. I'm still struggling and have had some loves lost, but the important thing is I'm fighting through it all and I haven't (and will never) give in. I will always believe in love because God is love.

It took me 8 months to post this journal blog, but better late than never!! I hope everyone had a very wonderful Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year!!! Peace and blessings...Star
