I’ve helped my family run All Fit All Ages Gym for most of my life. I’m happy to say, we are making changes, in order to accommodate our changing priorities. Up until three and a half years ago, being a professional artist was never on my radar.
I’ve been day dreaming of all the beautiful work I want to create and find myself disappointed, because I lack the time. I’ve discovered, my true love and my true purpose is being an artist. It’s like being in a relationship with someone and daydreaming of the one which got away. I have found my true love and I can’t let it get away!
When I was in my twenties, I found myself longing for something but I didn’t know what. I’d stand outside our gym and ask myself, “Is this all I’m meant for?” I’ve discovered true love is something you’d move mountains for. I’ve never experienced that feeling until I found art.
I’m a late bloomer I admit. I can now dedicate more time to my passion. Knowing myself better and knowing what I want to do, I find myself at peace with change. I’m excited about the future. I’m truly doing what makes me happy.
My personal training business will continue in the autumn, at a new location. I love helping people and I can’t imagine not doing it. I’ve been fortunate enough to do what I love. Work never felt like work. The good news is, I still get to do what I love!
I can follow my true purpose and create everything I ever dreamed of. How many people can say that? Life is calling me and I have to listen.
Here’s to moving forward!
Happy painting.
