I met Mr Hines at Champion Day sponsored by Bob Bonham and Kenny Kassel. This was my first real event with the big boys and girls of The Bodybuilding world. I felt very nervous until this special man  introduced himself. A true gentleman. We talked about training and family and I felt honored to have met such a fine talented man. I cherish his hug and his memory.

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS...
IF YOU WANT IT- GO AFTER
IT WITH ALL YOU HAVE
YOU WILL ACHIEVE IF ONLY YOU BELIEVE !!
I was invited to Psycotic Sunday and was pushed to the limit like never before.
What an honor to be in the presence of these
inspiring strong women.
" NEVER THINK YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR WHOLE HEART AND SOUL INTO"
Never did I imagine being put into a Major
Magazine to help promote good health, exercise and nutrition.  If I could do this-
you can achieve your desired goal whatever it
may be. I was told many times, by so called
friends that I could never do it !  Just goes
to show.......if you want it bad enough you
CAN !!
"If your heart and mind are in it to win it
             you can achieve your
                     desires"
It took me 4 years before I accomplished my
long awaited goal of taking the top honor
of first place in the strength competition and
first place in the physique middleclass competition.  So many told me I could never
do both at the same time in the same day....
well I did and you can too whatever your
                calling may be.
I was so very grateful to attend and compete
in the Women' Extravaganza. I was very
intimidated by all the great physiques and
famous women there.  I was told to go home
and grow some more!  But, I didn't and I
ended up holding my own and holding the
record for easy bar curls!!!! Stay focused
and determined and don't let anybody ever
let you feel inferior.
