 Living in isolation

The world as portrayed as such a happy place

People around you who are laughing and enjoying life

While you are sitting in your own black hole

Sinking in your own misery

Waiting for a bright light

To appear

Giving you time to shine

Gymnastics... The sport that lives in my heart...

I remember the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 like they happened yesterday. I remember being a young naive little 12 year old glued to the TV as the women's USA gymnastics team went on to become the first team in history to win a gold medal in gymnastics. I remember the feeling I felt when watching these women (who at the time were teenagers), flip through the air so seamlessly. I was AMAZED and since then, I have never looked back and have never once denied my profound love for the sport. In the months following the Olympic games, I 'pretended' to be a gymnast like the magnificent seven. I would do a head roll from my sister's bed using the my trundle bed down below hers as support and 'flip off' the bed landing on my butt of course because I couldn't stand. I also pretended to do leaps and jumps on my sister's bed like it was the beam. In short, I was totally and completely head over heels. Soon, there was a collection of magnificent seven books, Dominique M...

My message to GYMNASTS EVERYWHERE!!! (An open letter)

Gymnastics. The hardest sport in the world. Yes, you heard me right. Those girls you see magically flying across the floor exercise mat are nothing short of superhuman.

Not only that but if they're lucky enough, they can possibly make it on the International Stage and then to the elusive Olympic Games. I would assume that the Olympic Games are the most elite gymnast's dream, but there is a reason the committee is so selective. Only the best of the best make it there, but luckily, there are other choices. One of those choices is college gymnastics. I have loved LSU's college program for almost 24 years. Longer than the current gymnasts on the squad have been alive. I for one fell head over heels in love with gymnastics when the 1996 women's team won the gold medal. That was so inspirational to me. They worked and I am sure struggled to make...

In a harsh world where judgment runs rampant, it is important to remember we were all created in our own way. God created us with a light in our soul. The light represents our spirit. Sometimes, just naturally, our lights dim and brighten according to circumstance. Sometimes, in all of the futile chaos of life, we tend to forget about our own self-esteem. The world is so hectic and busy that we get wrapped up in our work. We begin to think that our work is the only thing that matters when we get lost in it. We forget that we are supposed to slow down and relax. We forget that there is more to life than achievement and success. We forget to look in the mirror and appreciate what we see. God has given us a beautiful life with an ordered plan, set just for us. We forget to tell our parents and other loved ones how much we love and appreciate them. We don't take the time to think about the fact that life is short and we never know when our life will end. We take advantage of the fac...
