Thankful Times

Hi everyone,

I've been falling down on the job lately, victim to this crazy time of year we call the holidays. I was hoping to carve out some time to write about what this time of year reminds me of personally.

November and December bring family, friends and warm thoughts of good times we had during the year. It's a reflective time for a lot of us.This time of year reminds me how very lucky I have been to have such a wonderful business. A business that has afforded me the luxury of raising my kids at my side, or running around the gym, (so sorry Linda, [business partner])! A business that has taught, and still teaches me so much about life, relationships, loyalty, integrity, partnership, and leadership. 

It's not just gymnastics, and I know I have written before about the kind of legacy our business wants to leave with children; it's the relationships we have forged between coaches, gymnasts, and parents over the last 25 years. The parents we have been so privileged to serve, and know through the years that are now our friends. The staff that have become like our family.The former gymnasts who grow up and become staff. One of these staff members even met his wife in the gym, both were coaches (that was some summer!).

I am so thankful for the opportunities having a gymnastics school gives me to grow as a person, parent, teacher, business person, and student of life. While I have much to be thankful for, the most important thing to me right now, where I am in my life is relationships. So cheers to those past, present, and future relationships through Top Flyte. May the friendships you and your child make through this sport this coming year be as enriching as mine have been and continue to be!
