So I was taking a shower the other night and it was one of those...
“I DO NOT want to get out, I just want to stay in here forever” kinda showers.
The girls were occupied, Ryan wasn’t home from work yet and with the sound of the water drowning out what was happening outside the bathroom door, I, for a moment, had the strangest feeling rush over me.
I actually thought everything that’s going on in our world right now was a dream. Like the shower was this awakening. I shook my head and smiled in disbelief, like how could I have come up with some crazy pandemic paralyzing the world as we know it.
And just as quickly as the thought of “this isn’t really happening” came, the truth that it very much is… slapped me back into reality.
See, I’ve been doin’ my thing. You know, that going with the flow thing that I do. It’s been a part of my DNA ever since I can remember.
Going with the flow has always gifted me with fun adventures in my younger years & helped me adapt to new places with every move I’ve made. But as I’ve gotten older, since I’ve become a mother, I’ve craved something…just something to be consistant. Steady. Reliable.
I guess my creative whimsy self, coupled with the unpredictability of motherhood, needed some roots to stay grounded, but enough freedom to still explore & still have FUN.
So I created JBird.
And YOU have not disappointed me.
Yes, JBird Fitness is a business that provides workout videos and live exercise experiences. And if you didn’t know, JBird is my nickname. A endearing name my brother-in-law, Kevin, & dear family friend, Greg, have called me for many years before this company ever existed. But for me…
JBird Fitness has always been about YOU.
YOU inspire me.
YOU surprise me.
YOU challenge me.
YOU make me laugh.
YOU make me proud.
YOU make me better.
YOU make me stronger.
And I need to thank you.
In a time where everything feels so uncertain, YOU are my roots. You ground me and guide me to a happier place.
Knowing we CAN connect. Knowing we CAN come together a few hours a week to play. Knowing I CAN reach out to you every Sunday night through this email.
It all inspires me to get up, get moving & make TODAY happen.
If you choose to only listen to the news broadcasts or intense social media posts, you may start to focus on the limitations of what is happening right now. And I don’t want that for you.
You have inspired me to look at the opportunities. Look at the things we CAN do, to stay healthy, happy & stronger. And best of all…do it TOGETHER!
I only hope I can give back all that you have given to me.
With ❤️
Janine
