The time has come...
After a year in San Antonio,  TX, I am ready to move back east to explore a slightly different career path. It could eventually end in the same goal as before, which was (and still is) opening a center back east. It just may end up in Tampa first.... My life is at difficult crossroad as I have major decisions to make and some hard "goodbyes" to make... God, please let me use the right words to explain my resignation from my current job. I want so badly to continue my relationship with everyone at Pressing On after i leave, so we will see how everyone takes the news. Miss East Coast is headed back east soon, its not "home" back east, but a new home... in Tampa, FL. Can't wait to see what God has waiting for me there... we will see! Miss n Love you all deary! In Him, Stephanie

Always a lesson to be learned...in all situations. 
 

I've learned...that the Lord didn't do it all in one day.
What makes me think I can? Patience is a virtue. Plus, the "fight" is only making me stronger, inside and out! One thing I would suggest though if I may, (and I heard this from a friend of mine so I can't take the credit). another prayer we can add to the list, is for god to start making people with two spinal cords so when one gets injured...

there's a back-up!!! Lol.like a lizard... Now, there's a thought! haha! bye

Just a tip for my future facility... What I have learned over the past 2 years is that a smaller company can be both a good thing and bad thing. As a client, it is nice to have a smaller group in the gym because it is easier to feel at home and comfortable, while also making it feel like family. As an employee, it is nice to be able to work together on things and there is less of a chance of little "clicks" forming. On the other hand, a smaller facility means more gossip, in a way. People become close with each other and the need for professionalism, respect and confidentiality becomes more important, both for the staff and clients. When you feel at ease with people, you tend to tell them more and lets just face it, people are going to talk. No one really likes to be talked about, especially if it is about something negative or personal to that person, but the majority of people in this world like gossip. Ill stop there, but all in all...

NOTE TO SELF: Don't discuss client issues around other clients. Keep it professional and only discuss issues involving clients and staff behind closed doors or in the appropriate setting.  

 
 
 
 
 
My thought for 4/28: Good things come to those who are willing to work for it!!! Have Hope & Always Believe anything is possible when you can hand it over to God. Once you realize that you are not in control, God can take over and lead you to victory!!! Keep God first!
