Who Runs the World?

The Baltimore Women’s Classic (BWC) was an amazing personal experience. It is the second-oldest and the largest all-women’s race in the United States. The 50th Anniversary of this race was supposed to be my first time running this 5K, but my mother passed away the day before the event. Charm City Run Events was incredibly accommodating and allowed me to run this year free of charge. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to have been able to run alongside so many amazing women. Of course, I carried the memories of my mother along the way, but I also had an epiphany about what I had not been doing. The end of my run marked the absolute beginning of my journey to my own life transformation.

I have walked and run several 5Ks, half-marathons, and a few full marathons, but arguably, this is the most fun I have ever had during a race. I didn't care about my time, my pace, or how many people reached the finish line before me. I stopped to take pictures, paused to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the route, and took a few moments to chat with other participants and the cheerleaders on the sidelines.

For approximately 45 minutes, I allowed my genuine self to come to the forefront, and it was such a freeing experience. I was in a “no-judgment zone” where nothing but inner peace was found. That is exactly what I had not been doing for myself. I realized I have been going through life like a ghost instead of REALLY living and enjoying it.

In that moment of clarity, it became obvious that the best way I can help others who are searching for their own life transformation isn't by hand-delivering templates or coaching from the sidelines. It is by pulling back the curtain and sharing the raw, honest experiences of my own transformation as I live it. The journey I postponed for far too long starts right here.

This is only the start of my journey!
