"The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living." Marcus Tullius Cicero

    I am going to be touching a few topics on my Blog. The main one is Fitness. Many times people who workout have a reason why they start. Before we jump into the fitness journey lets back track to MY personal reasons. 
  
BACKGROUND UNDERSTANDING :   
     People in general do things for a reason. Lets be raw for a second when ever you do something its because of your personal reasons right?. It may be that you always wanted to do it.. or you are going to network after doing the task. What ever the reasons are you have them. On the other hand some people like myself have had some time of childhood or young adult hood trauma. We grow up mentally different than others. 

  According to many studies children who have experienced outside the "normal" trauma guidelines ; grow up "broken". Now wait a minute Julissa what does this have to do with fitness?!. I PROMISE I will get to that in a minute. Growing up with "issues" now is playing a role in these peoples development. 

INTRODUCTION:

    Now my personal ties into this mini background information. I grew up in a bad city during the worst times. As if that wasn't hard enough I grew up with No parents. Let me clarify exactly what I mean. My Mother was a drug addict and prostitute. My father and her were never together according to my memory. In his and her words I was about two years old when they separated.  My mother kept me and my siblings out of school. I went to pre-k (I kinda remember the school).  I did not go to first-fifth grade. 
    
     That is my mini background on my childhood. Depending on much feedback this receives I would continue my story. Back to Fitness and my influence. I grew up with a "short fuse" . I was very "hot headed". I did love sports. I played every single one and even ran a little bit of track. I did not get into these sports until I was out of foster care and living with my grandma. 

    The sports gave me some kind of natural high. I would like to believe it was because it required me to focus, communicate, and a coach (who was like the parent I never had). As I aged I realized I loved fitness. My life like always had a ton of series of unfortunate events take place. I lost my focus for a while. I ended up recently (8 years later) back in the health field. 

       However, something was different this time. I realized the real reason why I love fitness. It was because of all the conscious and subconscious underlying issues I have.  It sounds easier than said. I am still working on my inner growth. 

This is why I was trying to figure out a way I can reach people. Other social sites are not as good. I am seeking to impact as many people as I can. I would love some feedback on this so I can decide how to go forward with this section of my blog. I want to post not only good outlets but also videos of solutions. I would like to touch base on the full inner understanding of ourselves. I would like to help people who may not even know the issues they hide.  

**NOTE** I am just now starting so please understand I do not know how to post a default photo. I will attach one so yall can see a face to who is speaking. :) Thank you once again. 

Thank you ALL :)
