A Surprise Honor!
Just a quick post tonight, but I HAD to share this with you all!
Team Bombshell holds a vote at the end of each season for a nice list of awards, including: Bombshell of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Bombshell, Breakout Bombshell, etc. We were each sent an email with the list of awards and asked to respond with our choices for each award. No names were suggested or lists given. Each was free to write in her personal choices.
I enjoyed voting, and took it very seriously. Some choices were excruciatingly difficult, as so many women deserved to be honored. There are over 100 Bombshells! After I sent in my vote, I didn’t give it a second thought.
Until today.
My dear Bombshell Sista Angela called to tell me that she and I, along with our dear friend Rene, had all tied for the award of Most Inspirational Bombshell! I was shocked, and felt like I just won the lottery or something big! I just joined the Team in August, and since I live hundreds of miles away from Florida, where most of the Team lives, I haven’t met as many athletes as I would like.
The real honor of this award, to me, is that it was voted on by the Team Bombshell Members–not judges, photographers, etc. But by the very girls that are training and dieting hard right alongside me. We need each other. We prop each other up. We can call a ‘Sista’ and tell her things that nobody else in the world would understand, but she will be nodding her head and saying that she struggles with the same issues. There is a bond and comraderie that is hard to explain. This lifestyle is not easy. It requires deep dedication, and our families and friends who don’t live the competition lifestyle just can’t empathize, even though they do everything they can to be supportive. Having the ‘Sistas’ is a godsend.

I just wanted to share this with all of you. I get so much love and support from my Defiant Friends and Team Defiance, and you just don’t know how much that means to me. Thank you so much, each and every one of you. You are a blessing in my life!
Be Defiant!

Aging Disgracefully–and Proud of It!!!
