Tomorrow marks my 33rd birthday and the upcoming year is 2020. Call me superstitious but to me I think that this coming year is going to be a pretty special one.
Our family is complete with 3 beautiful girls, Scott and I will have been married 10 years, I get to be bridesmaid in my sisters wedding, I start my new position as PE teacher at Tarwin Valley Primary School and I’m bring Kangatraining Kids to South Gippsland and Bass Coast.
All my ducks are really coming into line starting with my all my jobs reading up to my teaching degree, adding personal training, becoming a pre and postnatal specialist, building in this holistic kids fitness component early in the new year and I’ve been checking out some kids physiology/nutrition/yoga to study and round me out for now lol.
Those that know me well, know I’m an avid learner and for a while I’ve been jumping from one thing to another with a bit of direction but not really sure how it will eventually all come together. I have this vision of wanting every child to grow up loving their body, mind and soul for the way we can move, learn, grow, overcome obstacles and set our sights on the horizon and never look back.
It all started through my teaching and work at my local YMCA trying to inspire kids to want to learn, move and grow. What I quickly realised, especially when I had my own family is that you can only get kids so far if it is not supported by their families. So I took a different route looking at the physical side, targeting the mothers to inspire their own families. This in my opinion has been amazing and those kids are lucky to have such amazing mums (and dads now too) to show them the importance of moving their body and trying new things. Now it’s time to bring it all together and Empower families to be happy and healthy.
I’m going to take the everyday and make it easy to add movement together, add learning to the everyday experience and bring fun to life. I’m excited, I’m motivated and I want to make a difference on a community and beyond level. In 12 months time when I’m staring down the barrel of 34 and 2021 (about to send another of my babies off to school) I want to know that I’ve hit this year out of the park, with a better life for mine and the countless other families my life touches.
I honestly take my hat off to Scott for always backing me when I say I think I’m going to study this now or I really want to complete this challenge. He may call me crazy sometimes to give me reality checks but I know he always has my back and will be there when I have setbacks that make me question what to do.
2020 and my 33rd year are really a time where I have solid direction, it’s well mapped out and there is plenty of family time to help my children grow and have fun doing it. There’s also plenty for me to build my strength and fitness back up to a point where I love me for the rest of my life (now there are no more pregnancies). I’ve got this, my family has got this and so do all of you who will be joining me on my journey.
