If you could write to yourself from the future, what would you say?

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
And what a phenomenal journey it is! Loving every step, wobble, hobble and roll of it!
Its strange how things work out, at the time of writing this post 3 years ago, I had no idea how amazing my life was going to be!
I would never have believed you if you told me all the incredible things that I have had the pleasure to be involved in!
I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me I would be extremely good friends with Gold winning Paralympian Stephanie Millward and I wouldn’t believe u if u told me I was also fantastic friends with the truly inspirational Trishna Gauri

In fact, your friends with some absolutely freaking awesome people, some you’ve known all your life, some that feel like you’ve known all your life & some your still getting to know!

Vix, your network of friends are incredible!
And if you think I’d have believed that I would be working together with one of my best friends who just happens to be my Pilates instructor, yeah, 2014 Vix, in about a years time you start Kate King Pilates classes, and your passion is born!
You then, two years later help said Pilates instructor, who by the way becomes a massive inspiration, to build her business and I do believe you appear to be quite successful at it!

Oh and 2014 Vix, would you believe this, you start a Pilates teaching course! Not with the intention of teaching, but just because you want to!
Oh and you also fall in love with Yoga as well!

Thanks to your beautiful yoga teacher with the amazing energy
Yeah, just think about that!

I’m so proud to call Stephanie Millward an amazing friend!

A weekend to remember!

So last week I was like…

Then last Friday, thanks to being able to return to exercise after having my back procedure-surgery-thingymebob I was all like “let’s…

And I over came another obstacle when my MS anxiety kicked in due to ‘Change’

I knew that my normal pilates instructor wouldn’t be teaching on Friday, a different lady was filling in for Kate!

I’m so glad Kate told me about this!
I had a choice, face up to my anxiety of change or let my MS win and ruin what kept me so positive through the physical pain of the week before….

I did it! I attended pilates and I took my normal space, at the front of the class next to the instructor!

I’m so glad I didn’t let my MS win! The instructor ‘Hannah’ was lovely! It was a different kind of pilates, different is good! Change IS good!

After the class Hannah asked me to hang back and wait for her.
She had been asked by my wonderful pilates instructor/guru to walk with me down the stairs. How lovely!

Due to the combination of my MS tremors after exercise & then the heat from outside of the air conditioned dance hall, I get quite weak so Kate always walks with me to my car. She had asked Hannah to do the same & she did. So kind!

I chatted with Hannah & a friend of hers for quite a while. They wanted to know all about me, my MS & my journey. It was great to share my story with them both, I think I did a good job of raising MS awareness!

That was Friday, a brilliant day that really lifted my spirits!

I had know idea what was planned for the rest of the weekend & neither did my partner.
Neither of us knew that the next day was going to be possibly one of the most exciting days of our lives, well mine for definite!…..
