AN "A!"

Sunday, 01 January 2012

Well, well well. Let's ring the bell!

Let's dance on the roof tops! Let's throw our hands

up in the air and parade through the streets! What is

all this for? Oh, come on, you know. Happy

New Year to

you all and to your families, friends and pets, too!

Oh, 2012 is here and I just know...it's going to be a

great year! For

all of us. I

can feel it!

Guess what I did first

thing this morning? I made a list of all my

accomplishments in 2011.

Now guess what I did first thing this morning after my

workout and healthy breakfast? No, I didn't make out

my New Year's resolutions. (I did that last night.)

This morning, I made a list of all my

accomplishments in 2011. And,

I'm proud to say, my list was quite long! So, you

want to know some of the things that were on my list?

Well, I'm glad you say "YES" because...here

goes!

I got to teach lots of classes at

Slimmons and

you know how much I love doing that. Goodness, I've

had my workout studio for more than

half my life. I love going to Slimmons, saying

hello to all of my students and then we all get to sweat together.

It's always so much fun!

I also did quite a bit of traveling last year,

including a fabulous trip to New Zealand where I shot

the new inflight safety video for Air New

Zealand. I got to make people smile and laugh

all over the world, thanks to that video. And, by the

way, Air New Zealand was chosen Top

Airline in

the world last year. Big

congrats to ANZ!

I flew to Paris,

France last year to teach a big aerobics class for

more than 2,000 travel agents.

I also flew to Paris, France last year to teach a big

aerobics class for more than 2,000 travel agents and

boy, was that ever a treat. I took several of my

feathered-wing outfits along and wore them all over

Paris. Oh, I don't think I've ever posed for so many

photos with tourists...LOL.

Of course, I did a lot of traveling right here in the

good old U.S.A. last year, too. I taught classes at

health expos, conventions, casinos and even university

campuses. I taught at great schools like Pepperdine

University in Malibu, California and Ohio State

University in Columbus. After each of my university

sweatin' classes, I had all of the students take a

seat so I could talk to them about the importance of

their healthy futures.

Yes, I did a lot of flying and I did some sailing, too! Last

fall, I did my Hooray

For Hollywood Cruise To Lose along the Mexican

Riviera. And do I even have to tell you? My cruises

have always been one of my most fun-filled

accomplishments.

Thankfully, I got to spend a lot of special time with

my sweet Hattie this year, too. Hattie is 15 years

and 5 months old this month and I'm so blessed to have

had her with me for all of these years. I just came

from kissing her for the first time in 2012 and I must

have kissed her over 100 times as she was still

sleeping.

I'm proud of all the good

things I got done in 2011.

As I look over my list, I'm proud of all the good

things I got done in 2011. Know what else? I'd have

to give myself an "A" for all

I accomplished in 2011. And yes, I plan to build on

those accomplishments in this

new year. In fact, I have a wish list of all the

things I want to get done in 2012. I'm going to work

very hard to get every one of those things done, too.

Hey, maybe you have some time today to write down

your own accomplishments in 2011. I'm betting

you'll have a lot to be proud of, too. Let's see if

you give yourself an "A!" Just like

me.

Okay, one more time, HAPPY NEW

YEAR everybody!

I'm looking forward to being part of your lives in

2012!

Love,
