A Great First Year

Do you ever wonder if what you are doing is really making a difference?  You keep doing the same day everyday, hoping, believing you are making a difference.  Life has so much more value when you know you are making a difference, right?  Well, it does for me.  Today is the one-year anniversary of the very first Stroller Strides class in Knoxville.   When I started I had no idea where the journey would take me.  I stepped out in faith and took a chance.   When the first few moms signed up for a membership after that first class, I was so surprised!  I thought to myself, wow, they believe I can do this.  They believe I'll be consistent.  Since then so many more have done the same thing!  We couldn't have had a better year.  Two weeks ago Lisa Druxman, the founder of Stroller Strides was here.  She taught an amazing class and re-inspired all of us to continue striving for better health and fitness.  I'm sure she felt a since of pride seeing all these moms gather in a place called Knoxville.  I'm sure she never imagined this stroller fitness class she started seven years ago could make such on impact.  There is a saying I've heard before and it's A Man's Reach is Much Further Than His Grasp... Lisa Druxman is a perfect example of that!  I'm so glad that I have been able to make a difference in the lives of the women who are involved with Stroller Strides Knoxville.  But, I thank Lisa for creating the concept and for taking it to the level it is now.  I'm really looking forward to another great year!
