I want to take this time to do a bit of a heart to heart with my girls. The last two weeks have been really off for me. I've been doing a lot of soul searching and as all of you know this crazy thing we call life has a way of intertwining seemingly unrelated areas and issues. In our first month I've seen growth in all of you even if I don't voice it. I've never been the type to be too cheerleader like but I thought this was the perfect time to let you guys know a few things especially after the drama that this competition has stirred up a bit.
Alta - You're finding your way. You're not only saying you can do something you're believing it to. That hear that passion that fire that we all see in you, you're starting to trust it and realize you are in this for the long haul. When you stumble we're here to pick you up.
Melissa - Our resident sex kitten. I know we haven't done much in the way of bonding and I want to make an effort to get to know you better because quite honestly what I do know is quite inspiring. You're doing something I can only hope to strive for. You're making you a priority and not only that but you're loving you.
Christen - I know you were feeling a bit helpless with all the work you were putting in to feel like you weren't quite getting the results. Good reason for someone to give up as most people's logic would have it. You kept going and you broke through. It's a satisfying feeling to see someone who is so genuine in their care for other people push past a difficult phase. It gives the rest of us permission to "fight the good fight" because it's worth it. As with Melissa I really want to get to know you better.
Today I'm pledging myself to you guys. I took on the responsibility of being your team captain and I can only hope to live up the amazing women I have a chance to compete with. Here's to a soon to be new month and a really exciting journey we get to take together
