A new president and first lady have entered the White House and a new first lady of fitness, fashion, and fun has just arrived to the World Wide Web. That first lady is myself – Jackie O. And like any first lady, I am an ambassador of style, grace, fitness, and class!
8 months ago, fashion, fitness, and fun were the furthest things from my mind. I was living the life everyone told me I should live. I had gone to law school, then went on to get a masters degree. I had started my own law firm here in Pittsburgh focusing on family and criminal law after having lived abroad for several years. Then tragedy struck! My 7 year old daughter died unexpectedly and my life as I knew it ended. The circumstances surrounding her death are still unclear.
No longer was it a rush to the go into the courtroom and listen to parents bicker over their children, assets etc, nor was it fun to get a criminal off for the umptenth time.
And so, I as I began picking myself up from the ashes of a life that no longer existed, I focused on fitness and the arts. I began working out like crazy. I also began devoting myself to designing clothes (I had always designed matching outfits for my daughter and myself) and to the performing arts (I have always loved dance and the theater and acted a lot as a child). In doing these thing, I find some sort of comfort, although my heart still aches for my little girl.
But I am building a new life for myself – a life full of all the things I wanted for my daughter. I want you to remember that fixing your body is as much a mental process as it is a physical one. The journey to fixing your body involves changing many aspects of your life. One major change is learning to love yourself completely and entirely! Take it from me – there are days I look in the mirror and despise what I see, but because I love the whole of what and who I am, I get dressed and get to “working out” what I despise (whether mentally or physically or emotionally) and continue to love myself despite my imperfections!
I hope you are fired up and ready to begin to or continue to change your life and in doing so the lives of the people around you!
Peace and Love,
Jackie O.
