My Story
In July 2003, my doctor told me I needed major surgery. I explained this to my employer of 13 1/2 years and said I would needto be out of work for part of the month of August. My employer told me that I could not take the time and I had to make the decision to leave. I really needed the money, but my health was more important.

Shortly after I left my job, I got news that my father needed emergency surgery. I needed to fly down to help my mom and dad. My father shortly after passed away.

All of this was quite traumatic to me and I fell into a huge slump. My neighbor and very good friend and I was talking and she suggested that I join Curves that it might pick up my spirits and health.

So in March 2003 I joined Curves. I not only exercise, I feel I motivate other people, that they motivate me and make me feel good and I try to make them feel good about themselves. I have made some truly great friends through curves also, and feel it plays a Very Important Part in my life and others.
