Persevere – Good vs. Evil

It seems that all of my life I had so many obstacles that tried to knock me down. From being separated from my twin-sister when we were put into our first children home, having my best friend of 14 years attempt to steal a job moments after my interview (I got the job-goodness eventually wins!), living on the streets, to now having a guy steal my company name that I owned for over 21 years. Sometimes we wonder why we have to deal with so much turmoil in our lives. After all, we are told that God gives us as much as we can handle.


If it was not for my tough upbringing, I wonder if I would have the same perseverance as I do now. I wonder if my siblings would, too. We lived in filth, abuse and poverty. Unlike most others we know, we know what it feels like to have absolutely nothing and we never want to return to nothing. There is so much that we each want to accomplish; we came a long ways from Brightmoor, a poor community in Detroit. I remember the drugs, violence, gangs, etc. that we could have stuck with. Fortunately, we refused to be another statistic. We were determine to be more than our current situation. We persevered and won.

So my final words today . . . to that jerk who thinks he can just take away a name that I personally created in 1988 and used all these years in building/branding my business. . . you are truly messing with the wrong person! I will not back down! I tried to work it out with you even though you kept asking what you would get out of it. You are a cold-hearted person and only out for yourself. Shame on you. I hope the hate in you goes away for your own sake. It is not healthy (and you promote health - health is also within your being, your mind).

What goes around comes around - I am a true believer of that statement. I live my life to be honest, fair and good to others.

Time to Reinvent Myself: Honor The Body

Image
Around 1979 (as a young teenager) my journey in teaching group exercise began and continues today. From teaching high-impact, ZEN mat fusion classes, to customized programs, my passion was to always help others reach their fitness goals. Along with my twin-sister, daughter, and awesome team’s hard work, over 10,000 clients joined us on this long  Fitness Motivators ’ journey. We are humbly honored that clients trusted  us  to motivate and teach them fitness. Throughout the years, we consistently lectured women to love their bodies, their natural curves and not to push themselves to the extreme because society expects us all to look a certain way. Today, this needs to be reiterate more than ever!  We were never told what happens to a woman’s body when you constantly jump, run, or kickbox. I thought I was invincible. We all think we are invincible when we are young.   It is imperative to honor your body now . As we grow older, we need to embrace change.  Our body changes that we c

My Brother, Anthony William Lim

Image
Tony loved to dance and enjoy his life! On December 9, 2016, we lost our dear brother Tony, to cancer. A brilliant mind. A true loss to our family. Our brother that we relied on for computer troubleshooting or IT questions. But wait, maybe not a loss to the entire family. Our brother’s loss was a huge gain to his wife, Danli. Let me explain.  Our brother’s wife gained over 1.2 million dollars from Tony’s death. Not bad for a young woman who worked in the rice paddy fields in China. A woman who was so desperate to leave her country that she married a man that she did not even know. Yes, an arranged marriage by our own father. Our father, who her family would eventually steal over $300,000 from a crooked business deal (but that is for another story). From the beginning, there were red flags. We tried to warn Tony. But he wanted so badly to be accepted by our father. A father who never deserved acceptance or acknowledgement. A father who did not attend his own son’s funeral. Cold?

Create Your Own Path

Image
I arrived at my work at 5:30 in the morning and packed the few things that I moved here from the Ann Arbor site. It is weird how I sensed from the beginning that being at the Chesterfield location would only be temporarily. This morning was my job loss notification meeting and instead of feeling sad, I felt as though my employer is giving me an opportunity to finally create my own path. Pfizer was extremely generous to me throughout the 11 years. Working in a big company, you either get lost or work hard to get noticed. I am lucky that hard work paid off. I traveled around the world, gained advanced skills and had many wonderful opportunities. A week ago I told my previous manager about my job status and he replied, “I am really sorry things didn't work out with Pfizer - they don't appreciate what they are losing. I am sure things will work out as cream always rises to the top.” How sweet! ( I never knew how much he appreciated me until his farewell speech. He was always so tou
