After a couple of weeks away from training—thanks to a lupus flare and traveling—today was my first day back.
And let me tell you… **the weakness was showing off!** 😂💪
While I was doing core work, the thought crossed my mind:
*Maybe I should stop.*
Then I looked up and saw exactly the message I needed:
**Growth happens when we push beyond our comfort zone.**
Well played, universe!! 😆
The truth is, if we never push through the discomfort, we stay exactly where we are. And I have goals to reach, dreams to pursue, and absolutely no intention of staying where I am.
Was today pretty? No.
Was it easy? Definitely not.
But I showed up—and sometimes, that is the victory.
What have you been pushing aside because it requires effort, courage, or discomfort?
Your dream is still waiting for you.
And there is no better time to take one step toward it than **today.** ✨

**WHEN POSSIBILITY BECOMES REAL...**
When I was 17 years old, my dream of competing at the World Championships was taken away by a political decision.
For a long time, I believed that chapter of my life had ended.
Some dreams never completely leave us, though.
They quietly wait...
Waiting for us to believe again.
Tonight, I cleared 1.80 meters in the last pole vault meet of our Summer Series.
Then I stood on the runway looking at *1.95 meters*—a height that would have tied for third place at this year's USATF Masters National Championships for my age group.
I didn't clear it this time- very close!
But for the first time in decades, I didn't see an impossible bar.
I saw a possibility.
That changes everything.
This isn't about a number.
It's about what happens the moment a dream stops feeling impossible and starts feeling attainable.
That feeling is priceless.
I'm incredibly grateful to my phenomenal coaches and my amazing teammates at Pole Vault Miami - your support amd encouragement mean more than you know!
Tonight also reminded me of something I hope you'll remember.
**That dream you've quietly placed on a shelf...**
The one you've convinced yourself is too late.
Too difficult.
Too unrealistic.
It's still there for a reason.
Maybe it isn't asking you to have all the answers.
Maybe it's simply asking you to take the first step.
To decide.
To commit.
To do the work.
Because greatness isn't found on the other side of certainty.
It's found on the other side of courage.
Tonight, a dream I thought I had lost forever began to take shape again.
And I cannot wait to see where this journey leads (although Indoor Nationals in Feb and Indoor World Championships in March are on my calendar)!!!🌟🙏
**Dream again.**
**Commit completely.**
**Fly higher.**

The biggest lesson Australia taught me had nothing to do with public speaking.
I didn't realize how many limiting beliefs I had quietly been carrying until I stepped completely outside my comfort zone.
I traveled halfway around the world, hoping to become a better speaker.
Instead...
I came home seeing myself differently.
For years, I quietly carried stories that many of us tell ourselves.
“Maybe my best years are behind me.”
“Maybe turning 60 means slowing down.”
“Maybe I don't have what it takes.”
Then something unexpected happened.
People I had just met—people I deeply admired and respected—began reflecting something back to me that I couldn't yet see for myself.
They talked about my energy.
My positivity.
My message.
My light.
At first, I smiled, thanked them... and brushed it off.
But somewhere on the long flight home, I realized something.
Maybe they weren't giving me something I didn't have.
Maybe they were simply helping me see what had been there all along.
Sometimes, the people we meet don't change who we are.
They simply reflect back the person we've been all along.
Australia reminded me that our minds often make predictions based on fear...
while life is quietly gathering evidence that those predictions simply aren't true.
As I begin this new decade of life, I no longer believe my best years are behind me.
I believe they're just beginning, and I am so excited for what is ahead. And when your life is driven by purpose and contribution...priceless!!!
So let me ask you...
What limiting belief have you been carrying... that life may already be trying to disprove?

**Gravity is doing its job.**
It isn't trying to stop you.
It's simply doing what it was designed to do.
Fear is the same way.
Self-doubt.
Failure.
Criticism.
Disappointment.
They all have one thing in common.
They pull us down.
Just like gravity.
But here's what fascinates me...
Airplanes don't wait for gravity to disappear before they take off.
Birds don't wait until there is no wind before they fly.
They simply create more lift than gravity can hold down.
Life works the same way.
We spend so much time trying to eliminate fear, waiting until we feel confident enough, ready enough, or perfect enough...
When the real question isn't,
"How do I get rid of gravity?"
It's...
"How do I create more lift?"
For me...
Lift comes from purpose.
From faith.
From consistent practice.
From surrounding myself with people who encourage me.
From choosing courage over comfort.
Gravity will always be there.
But so will the ability to rise.
That's what **The Art of Flying™** is all about.
Not waiting for life to become easier...
Learning how to fly anyway.
💭 Dream Again.
🩵 Fly Higher.
✨ Light the Path.
