Something amazing happened on my way to work one day, about one month before Christmas. I was listening to Josh Groban on my IPod and found myself mesmerized by his beautiful song: "You Are Loved". I can't even remember how many times I played the song over and over again. It really "spoke" to me. Has this ever happened to you?
I wanted to tell you about my experience at the SAF 2010 competition. It is one of my favorite fitness modeling competitions to enter because SAF stands for “Serious About Fitness”. Yes, I am serious about fitness (even though I find it fun too). I believe that any woman who wants to achieve a strong, healthy and sexy physique, as SAF promotes, she can do it � if she really, honestly puts her mind to it.
It must be my lucky year. What a beautiful gift I received! May is my birthday month and what a wonderful coincidence that I was selected to appear on the cover of Oxygen Magazine. Wow! I am really overwhelmed, and very thankful.

I have been dreaming about being on the cover of Oxygen Magazine for a few years now. I envisioned it so well I could clearly picture myself right there on the cover. For the past three years being on the cover of Oxygen magazine was near the top of my goal list. You see, I don't have a wish list , I have a goal list! I will say that one more time, I do not have a wish list, I have a goal list.
