When I say THANK YOU, I really mean THANK YOU. 🙏🏾📕

It has officially been 1 month and 6 days since The Weight Between Us… The Gym Crush Story was published and made available to the world—and so much has happened in just ONE MONTH.

🔥 145 Kindle downloads
📚 60 copies sold throughout the city and personally signed by me
📦 Another 30 copies purchased through Amazon
🏬 And TWO major retailers have picked up the book for their online customers: Walmart and Books-A-Million.

And the wildest part?

I’m just getting started.

🎙️ Podcasts
🎤 Interviews
📚 Book signings
📺 TV opportunities

They’re all in the works.

And there’s something else I haven’t talked much about yet…

I still haven’t said YES to a major publisher.

There are currently THREE offers pending. 👀

So when I say I appreciate every download, every purchase, every share, every comment, every conversation, and every person who has told somebody else about this book—I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

THANK YOU. ❤️

You helped take something that started as words, imagination, and a vision and put it into the hands of readers.

And we are nowhere near finished.

The story has only begun…

Coming in 2027:

“The Truth Between Us… What We Did Not Know”

And trust me…

You don’t know the whole story yet. 👀🔥

There’s a difference between being busy and being productive.

Busy keeps you moving.
Productive moves you forward.

Don’t get so caught up in doing more that you never stop to ask whether what you’re doing is actually producing results. Reflect on the process. Measure the progress. Study the outcome.

If the results aren’t changing, the process may need to change.

Because movement without progress is just repetition—and sometimes we’re not being productive at all… we’re just getting better at practicing busy. 💯🔥

🔥 YOUR GIFT MATTERS.

Family and friends won’t always support something they don’t understand—or something that wasn’t given to them. Don’t take it personal.

Your talent. Your vision. Your purpose. That gift was placed inside YOU. It was never intended for everyone to understand, approve of, or applaud.

So whether they support you or not, KEEP GOING. Your destiny belongs to you, and somewhere in this world, somebody is waiting for what only you can give.

Don’t stop creating. Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop becoming.

💎 YOUR GIFT MATTERS. YOUR PURPOSE MATTERS. YOU MATTER.

Some judge you because they don’t understand you.
Some doubt you because they can’t see your vision.
And some… envy you because you move in a way they wish they could.
Either way — none of it defines you.

🚨 OKAY… THIS JUST GOT BIGGER! 🚨

To everyone who purchased, downloaded, reviewed, shared, or simply spoke my book’s name—THANK YOU. Every page turned is helping this story travel farther than I ever imagined. 🙏🏽💎

People see stars. An author sees trust, credibility, and proof that the story connected. ⭐️

Reviews matter because they accomplish something advertising cannot: they allow potential readers to hear directly from people who actually experienced the story. Every honest review helps build visibility, influences purchasing decisions, and gives independent authors a stronger voice.

So, what does a 4.8-star rating really mean?

It means readers awarded The Weight Between Us: The Gym Crush Story 96% of a perfect score—24 out of 25 possible stars across these five reviews. That isn’t simply “good.” That is overwhelmingly positive reader satisfaction.

Readers are calling the book emotional, cinematic, layered, riveting, unpredictable, and difficult to put down. One stayed awake reading late into the night. Another said it was much deeper than a gym-crush romance. Now they’re asking for Book Two!

Every review matters—even an honest four-star review—because authenticity builds trust. I don’t need everyone to use the same words; I want real readers sharing what the story made them feel.

Thank you to everyone reading, reviewing, recommending, downloading, purchasing, and gossiping about this story. Your words might be exactly what convinces the next reader to open the book.

The Between Us Saga is only beginning… 🔥📚

I’m learning that Planet Fitness isn’t always as “Judgement Free” as the slogan makes it sound. 😏

When you’re confident in your body, serious about your training, and comfortable wearing what you want to wear, you’re going to stand out. And sometimes people don’t know how to handle somebody who refuses to shrink themselves just to make everyone else comfortable.

I’m not in the gym to intimidate anybody. I’m there to WORK. My physique came from discipline. My wardrobe reflects my confidence. Neither one should make anybody else uncomfortable enough to judge me for simply being myself.

A judgement-free zone should apply to everybody — including the people who look different, train differently, dress differently, and refuse to fit inside somebody else’s box.

Your discomfort with my confidence doesn’t make me the problem. 💪🏽🔥

When I order books to keep on hand, I usually order 10 hardcover and 10 paperback copies at a time. Right now, I’m down to just 1 hardcover and 2 paperbacks left. 📚🔥

I truly can’t express how grateful I am for every single person who has purchased a physical copy, downloaded the book on Kindle, or supported it through Apple Books. 152 Kindle downloads for August already—and the month isn’t even over. That kind of support means more than you know.

If you’re interested in getting your copy of The Weight Between Us… The Gym Crush Story, let me know. If you’re local, I’ll personally deliver it to you—and I’ll sign it too. ❤️

Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for talking about the book. Keep gossiping… it’s working. 😏📖💎
