Though Charlie and I share a surname, we are not related.
Twitter is the magic medium that has brought us together in a shower of mutual appreciation. We have never
met , and yet this amazing bird has had one heck of an impact on my life ! I
wanted to blog it so she knows ! Yes, my dear Charles, this is all about YOU!! J
So over the past few months Charlie and I have been
nattering on and off twitter and found we have a great deal in common, I have stood with her in spirit while she has
gone through a really tricky time from a professional and personal perspective.
Our blog is not about dwelling on the negative – that’s not who we are….but I
touch on it simply because it is important to our story. I have witnessed first-hand
this chica wrestle with injustice and come out grinning. She truly is a
trooper of the highest order. Let me tell you why.
As a fairly new PT I am really aware that this is quite a
guy-dominant industry – or so it seems to me! Equally, it is a tough world not
to be pigeon-holed as a girl! I don’t do Zumba, I like to lift weights and I’ll
be damned if I am told I only need to climb half way up a rope that my male
counterpart has to go all the way to the beam…J
I have always been like this, it is both a downfall and a strength I think…..and
I feel like I have been searching without knowing it for a gal with a similar
misfit attitude to life….and thank God I found Charlie! Here is someone I can
share with and learn from and buzz off and dream with! Whilst I cringe and want
to slap myself at the mere thought of typing the phrase ‘girl power’, I guess that’s kind of what I mean. In Charlie,
I have found a tenacious spirit, a passion for life, a genuine love of people,
a desire to make the world a better place, a triumphant vibe in the face of
adversity….and a shi* hot example of what it means to be a trainer! I have
learnt heaps from this shining star and so publicly I wanna say ThAnKYou
WALL!!! Loving our soul sista, swing sista vibe…..long may the kettle bell
swing ! J
