Journey to California

Photo by Mike Byerly

Can you believe I came to California 5 years ago weighing just over 100 pounds, only a few dollars to my name with a broken heart and a big dream to start over? I had no job, no friends in California and no idea how I was going to make it.

Let me tell you though, I trusted that somehow, someway, it would all work out. I started lifting and it gave me confidence to conquer anything! My depression started to slowly fade away and I felt more powerful than ever before in my life!

If you struggle or start doubting yourself, please remember that if you persevere through the rock bottom and stay faithful that YOUR DAY WILL COME, trust me, you'll be rewarded beyond your expectations so don't you dare give up!!!

Keep pushing and ignore everyone around you that doesn't see how great you really are!!!

Surround yourself with positivity and ignore the rest.
