Don't think you could learn to Pole Dance?

Hey Ladies,

Are you skeptical about Pole Dancing? Don't think you can do it? I got news for you. I have never been a dancer, nor have I ever taken Gymnastics. However, I have learn to use the Pole for my satisfaction. I have one in my room. I work out on it regularly and encourage anyone who has not tried it, to at least do so! Give it one try, and you will be hooked. If you are looking to tone up, lose weight, get in shape, and/or just feel good about yourself, POLE DANCING is it.

How many of you have started a work out plan only to quit after a week or even two days? POLE DANCE FITNESS will definitely keep you entertained and challenged. I'm not going to say its easy, but I will say, it makes you want to keep doing it. It is so invigorating and uplifting. You just have to try it! I know you might be saying, no way, I can't do that. Never say can't. You can do anything you put your mind or better yet your BODY to. Be one with the Pole, don't be afraid of it, its your friend. LOL. You can't get a better workout like Pole Dancing. The fitness benefits are huge.

Who would have ever thought I would be in this industry. I am an accountant, mom, and wife. I am loving every bit of it, the ups and the downs. I love to see the looks on the faces of our clients who feel so confident about themselves. That's what we are here for. We are here to make a difference in the lives of other women by helping to build their self esteem, increase their confidence, and get their SEXY Back!!

If Pole is not for you, our Exotic Moves class is sure to get you in the mood to work out. Our fantastic instructors are awesome and the best in the MD/DC/VA and ATL areas.

And that's right, these pictures are ME!! You can do it too. Oh yeah, and don't forget we do private parties, so if you are celebrating a birthday, wedding, divorce, girls night out, come and experience Body Talk or we can come to you!!!

Until next time. GET BODY!!!

Wife, Mother, & Entrepreneur WOW!!!

Hello Ladies,
Its been a while. I know I say that everytime I haven't blogged in a while. I am trying to get better with the whole blogging thing. I have been so busy with everything, family and business. One thing for sure, no one told me how much work being an entrepreneur, mom and wife could be. It takes hard work and determination. I must be built for this otherwise why would I go through so much and it just makes me stronger and want to fight harder. First and foremost, being a wife and mother takes alot energy. I guess that why I love pole dancing so much, it keeps me in shape and feeling young. Either Pole dancing or drugs. I choose Pole Dancing. Mom, can I do this? can I have that? can you play the Wii with me? can we go to the pool? can we go out to dinner? can we go to the movies, bowling or skating? can I? can I?....... Sometimes I want to say, can I get a break? As moms we don't have a chance to take a break, but we must find time for ourselves, whether we just go and sit in the bathroom and lock the door. Some quiet time to reflect on our days and thoughts. I am more creative and effective during the day when I take a moment for myself. I work from home and its summer and my kids are home too. So I'm sure you know what I mean. Being a wife, partner, significant other, etc can be very demanding also. I must spread myself amongst the kids, my husband, and work. My husband like most men needs alot of attention. That's all I got to say about that. You know what I am talking about. And then for some crazy reason I have decided to be an entrepreneur. My business sucks all the other time out of my schedule 365 days a year. There is never a break, always something going on, never a dull moment. Although most people would give up, not be able to handle the pressure, throw in the towel, I refuse to. I know that I have a purpose in life to help others and be successful at it. Body Talk is just one project to get me prepared for all the others. If Body Talk has taught me anything, it has taught me patience. Things sure don't happen overnight. I know that God has much more planned for my family and I. Some things have already been revealed, some things have yet to be revealed. Whatever my purpose, I am ready. I am ready for whatever comes my way. I say to you GOD, Bring It!!!!

The Economy

Hello Ladies,

For those of us who enjoyed the wonderful inauguration of our nations 1st African American President, how did it make you feel. I know it made me feel proud to be living during a time when something like this possible. It has never felt so good to know that we too, can run thiscountry. Barack is the change that American needed. He represents all people, everyone, all nationalities. My family participated in this great historical event by attending the Inauguration in Washington, DC on January 20, 2009. My children were so excited although it was so cold out, that didn't even matter at the time. The looks on the faces in the crowd was enough to make you shout for joy. It was a mixture of all people, young and old. It was an event to attend. Everyone came together as one, race and color didnt' matter.

We have a lot of things to work on this year. As you all know, there has been a major change in our economy these past few years. People who once had it together are finding themselves in a horrible downturn. Families are losing their homes and jobs at alarming rates, small and large businesses are closing their doors. Families are loosing their life savings, and pensions. Its a very hard time in America right now, but we have faith that all is well.

My duty as a small minority business owner is to empower other business owners like me. I make it my business to refer others to businesses that I may or may not be associated with. I enjoy helping others find the products and services they needs, especially within our own community. I would like to see more support from our communities to help keep our businesses open. We as a people are so quick to judge our own instead of trying to work with one another to make things better for everyone. We as a people have to get better with this and regardless if you are a business owner or not, that we make it our business to reinvest in someone who looks like you. All other cultures and races have this down to a science. Its just something we need to work on and master. If we support one another there is nothing we can't do. No need for jealously or hatred towards one another, lets help each other grow. When you plant seeds, you will be rewarded. Its proven, and its being done. Because I am a Business owner and I know the importance of supporting other businesses like mine, I feel very strongly about this. We need to learn that if we see room for improvement within a business, make a suggestion, instead of just speaking negatively about one of your own. You will not see any other race talk about their own kind, even if its something they are not happy with. They just won't do it. They have respect for one another. Until we gain that kind of respect for one another, its always going to be a struggle. I can go on and on, but until next time, make it your business to support another business in your community. Support someone who look just like YOU!!

It's a New Year! Get FINE in 2009!

Well Ladies, I said I was going to start blogging more, unfortunately that didn't happen. I am going to do it this year. I have set aside some time to talk to you.

How was your holiday? Did you get everything you wanted? Did you get that POLE?

I must say, my holidays were great, I spent time with close friends and family.

My kids got the WII and they play it all the time. I think its one of the best gaming systems around.

Let's talk about YOU. Are you meeting your fitness goals? Are you taking time for yourself? Are you giving back to your community? Have you vowed to BE FINE in '09?

This will be a historical year with the inauguration of our nations 1st African American President, many homeowners losing their homes and jobs, many Big Name Companies shutting their doors, the condition of the stock market, and everything else in between. Us, women must remain focused on what it is we want out of life. Although we may be going through this tough time, it won't last always. Let us be proactive, and set ourselves us to succeed. Here's a couple of things I always remember in a time like this:

• Stay clear of negativity! Always remain positive in any situation
• Never let anyone tell you what you can't do, JUST DO IT!
• Write down your goals for 2009 and scratch off the ones you have met (short or long term)
• Take time for yourself by getting massage, mani-pedi, work out at Body Talk of course, eat healthier

Give us some tips that you may have that can help all of us stay on top...

What's been up?

Hello Ladies,

I know its been a while since I have taken time out to write to you guys. I sincerely apologize. I have been extremely busy with the opening of our Altanta Studio. We are finally open. We offer classes daily. We are unlike any other studio in the area. Here are just a few things that differentiates us from the rest.

• We offer drop-in classes Monday-Saturday.


• We require workout attire, no lingerie


• We never have more than 2 per pole in our Polerize classes


• We offer a schedule that allows our clients to come on a consistent basis


• We offer a comfortable environment for all women


• We offer affordable monthly memberships as well as class passes

The list goes on and on, you will just need to come and check us out.

Ok. Now that I got out some information about our Atlanta location. What's up, my ladies of the MD/DC/VA and Atlanta area? What have you been doing this summer? Kudos to all the ladies who hosted parties during the month of July. I am sure you all had lots of fun. Please share your stories. I know what I have been doing, Working, Working, Working. Barely taking time for myself, but with the opening of Atlanta, I now have my outlet. I take class as often as possible. At least 3 times a week. Here is something funny. On last night, I had to teach our Polerize class. I have never taught a class, but last night I did. I did a great job, I think. LOL. I taught the ladies about six tricks and they seem to enjoy it. I knew I could teach if I was ever put in this situation, but I didn't expect to do it last night. Anyway it was fun, I enjoyed it.

Kids went back to school on yesterday. Yeeeeeaaaaah! My baby boy went to Kindergarten, my middle girl went to 3rd grade, and my oldest girl went to 7th grade. Wow, how fast time flies.

Now that the kids are getting back to school, its time to care for ourselves. Lets eat right, exercise at Body Talk, and love one another. During this time, its very important for us to support each other and push to your fullest potential. With everything thats going on in the economy, we must remain strong and Press On. In the midst, lets make sure we take care of self first. Don't stress, just make it happen!!

Check out my silhouette photo!! See sure is SEXY!!! We will be offering some Sexy Silhouette Photography at both locations soon!!! Stay tuned...........

Until next time,

Stay Healthy, Sexy, and Empowered.

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!

Hey Ladies,

It's Mother's Day. A day to celebrate being a mother to your own or someone else's child. It's a day for us to be uplifted. It's a day for us to remember the mothers before us. It's a day for us to feel good about everything we have accomplished in life all while being a great mother. You know, I am the mother of three and if it had not been for the Lord on their side, I would have lost it by now. However, I wouldn't trade them for anything. I really love my kids and want to raise the most respectful, enthusiastic, intelligent, unique, beautiful, entreprenial go-getters in the world. They mean so much to me, that words can not even explain. I live for them, and will do whatever I can to raise them right. Me, myself was raised by my grandmother since the age of 12. My mom was not around, unfortunately she fell victim to drug abuse. My dad was there, but he worked all the time and did not have a clue of what to do with 3 girls. I have been blessed to have mother figures in my life, be it my friends moms, aunts, cousins, or neighbors. Some children are not that lucky. I was lucky enough to have some special women in my life that made me want more. It wasn't because they had more, but because I wanted to break the generational curse of poverty in my family. I would like for you ladies who have the time, invest it in another individual in need of emotional support. Push that individual to their fullest potential, even if you are not where you want to be. By helping someone else, you will soon see things in your life manifest. Moms are important, don't take them for granted. I wish I had my mom during my younger years to be there for me at my graduation for middle and high school, and college. I wish she was there to help with my wedding, I wish she was there for the birth of all of my children, oh so many things I wish she was there for. God held me and comforted me in my time of need, he was my mother and father, and for that I am truly grateful. I take my hat off to all of my friends who are holding things down as single parents. It's not easy. I take my hat off to all of the families who are working together to stay together not just for the kids, but for themselves as well.

If you have a special women in your life that you admire and appreciate let them know. I wish I could tell my grandmother how much she meant to me and how she played a huge positive role in my life. She has passed on, but I will never ever forget her. If your special woman is still here, call her and tell her you love her. It will mean the world to her just to hear your voice. With that being said, I have a few phone calls to make right now.

Share some memories about your Mom, good or bad............. Until next time, Sexy Mama!!!!!!

Have you ever had to make a life changing decision?

In life, we tend to evolve into mature human beings as we get older. This is how it should be. We should learn and grow from our experiences. Sometimes we must give a little to get a little. Sometimes in order for us to move forward we must take a step back. I am sure you have all heard these sayings. I am at time in my life where I must make a major decision. A decision that will affect quite a few people. I ask that you ladies pray for me during this time. I know that God will help me during my decison making process.

Share your experiences and how you dealt with it?
