A Promise, Mi Amiga
Dedicated to Eugenia Wright-Hall

Eugenia Wright-Hall Jan. 7, 1952- March 31, 2011

You touched so many lives
With your delicate hands
You uplifted the world
with your strategic plans
You were always there
No matter what was needed
You shared your talents and made sure
everyone succeeded
You shined your light
ever so bright
No one could take their eyes off of you
You were such a beautiful sight
You inspired and motivated
You molded and created
You lived, breathed and displayed
excellence remarkably
You, mi Amiga, are truly extraordinary
You set the bar
And now we must climb
You are now really a shining star
We can look up and still see you shine
Thank you for being you.
Thank you for all that you have and continue to do.
Gone too soon but never forgotten....EVER!
You made us better.
Because you believed
We will continue to achieve
We know you are watching
Over us
Trust
Our cups runneth over with
The love you've given us
to give to others
To strive to be an example of what you
Bestowed and showed us
Trust
We promise to fulfill
The wishes that you placed in our hearts
Until we meet again
Mi Amiga

I began to read messages, blog posts and watch the videos that made statements such as people calling him a “butt pirate” or saying”Kali is gay. He is a disgrace to the bodybuilding world.” Oh and let’s not forget enormous amount of “F” bombs that were stamped all across the internet. Homophobic….. Is this really how the bodybuilding community wants to be seen? Kali is a friend and colleague of mine. We have worked together professionally and he has changed my life partner/wife, Bea’s and my life personally.   I met him and his lovely wife singer and entrepreneur

Poem: "The Mask I Wear"

Image
I am in the process of this journey of fully coming into who I am inside and out! I was taking a life design course and my world renowned coach, Dr. Ray Blanchard read this poem below. I have always thought I was my true authentic self, however, after hearing this poem and then reading it several times, I have come to realize that I have neglected ME in the process of being a giver and a nurturer to others. So I am removing the mask and seeing and loving me. Growing and learning in the process. Hope you remove yours as well. I would love to see YOU!!! I am the other you. You are the other me:) THE MASK I WEAR Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear   for I wear a mask. I wear a thousand masks-      masks that I'm afraid to take off   and none of them are me. Pretending is an art that's second nature with me But don't be fooled, for God's sake, don't be fooled.
