Hello everyone. I just thought that I would let you all in on some news that I haven’t reported yet and bring you up to speed with some things I am currently working on.
A little while ago we started to work on some educational videos for the Inspired by Vanda website. This was our first time out and we had some fun. We really learned a lot that day and will be useful as we go forward making all sorts of videos for the site. It really was a test day as we all used the experience to learn what we need to change to make higher quality videos.
In December I was fortunate enough to attend the Nutcracker Ballet. I have always wanted to see this performance and I was highly excited when the night finally came around. When the lights went out and the curtains opened I was instantly in awe. The sets were magnificent throughout the entire show. I am a huge dance fan and these dancers didn’t disappoint as they were gracefully flying across the stage with jumps, pirouettes, and a complex variety of step combinations. I felt that the dancers played their characters with deep passion and that made the story come alive for me. I was so involved with the production that I could literally feel myself on stage. If you haven’t seen this Ballet I suggest that you try to take in a performance, as you will not be disappointed.
For Christmas my friend Shawn extended an invitation for me to go to Quebec
City. He thought that due to my European background that I might appreciate the feel of Old Quebec. He was right; I found it elegant, sophisticated and rich in history. My hotel room in the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac was absolutely stunning. It even had a Christmas tree that gave it a perfect holiday touch. Some of the highlights from my trip to Quebec City included a very fun toboggan ride, visiting the boutiques and small cafes, the magnificent brunches, and having the opportunity to meet new friends.
For New Years Eve a few friends and I went downtown Ottawa to Foundation Night Club. We were treated to V.I.P. service which made us feel special for
the night. That is one night of the year that I really try to go out and have a good time with my friends. I am happy to say that I ended up having a great time will look forward to topping it next year.
In January I went to the production of Divine during its limited engagement here in Ottawa. The first thing that comes to my mind regarding this show is bright colours. The sets and costumes were extremely colourful and lit up the whole theatre. Another thing that I feel deserves mention is the total commitment to teamwork from the entire crew and performers. They were all bang on and delivered a heartfelt performance that was nothing short of powerful.
January was also a time for us to contact companies that we could work with when it comes to products for Inspired by Vanda.com. I am happy to announce that there will some great products that I am very excited to launch.
To round the month out, I had a couple photo shoots. One was in Toronto for Oxygen magazine, and the results of that shoot will be out in the April edition. The other shoot was here in my personal studio with Wade Robinson, as we shot for products and material for Inspired by Vanda.
Some things we are working on now.
I am excited to tell you that we are currently working on finishing Inspired by Vanda’s very first product. I am really excited to launch this one and I feel that
it will help a lot of people with their health and fitness. I’m sure it will be available before the end of February for the public. So stay tuned for that.
I am also glad to see the website continue to develop on a weekly basis. Currently we are working on a new video section and right after that getting the store set up. I will also be working on brand new educational videos for exercise, nutrition and wellness. I see a few more people have signed up for the forum and I am happy to see that grow as well. There have been some great posts in there from others offering their advice and support. Keep that coming!!!
We are also in the process of thinking about our spring, summer and fall programs. We are hoping to impact a large amount of people during this time, so we have to plan things out wisely. We will soon look for both indoor and outdoor locations to hold large group classes.
I hope you find that this brings you more up to date with what is going on with me, and how you will also be impacted as well. I would also love to hear from you. Whether it’s business advice, opinions on the website, personal progress in your own wellness, recipes that you like etc., I am listening and hope you feel that you can talk to me.
On the competition front, my first competition this year will be April 25th in New Haven, Connecticut at the Fitness Atlantic show. I was there in 2006, and really enjoyed myself. It will be nice to compete again, and I am looking forward to it.
As this News is about to launch I will be arriving home from a much needed vacation to Jamaica…I will let you all know how that went next week!
Here With You!
