Africa was a life changing trip for me. When individuals ask me what I thought about Africa I told them it was beautiful and ugly. Beautiful flowering bushes, trees and landscaping, Victoria Falls was breathtaking, and I fell in love with the African people.
The ugly part of my trip was poverty, starvation and disease.. I was invited to Zambia to
be a speaker at three women’s conferences. What a privilege to be a speaker sharing the book of Ruth from the Bible. I also had the privilege of working with many women and addressing their fitness goals. The majority of the women live behind 10 foot cement wall, 3 foot electric fences and 24 hour guards and guard dogs, putting workouts in a new light. Running out to the corner fitness center is impossible, besides there are NO fitness centers. We forget how spoiled we are living in the States where we can run out our front
door for a walk or to the corner fitness center. Yet, many of us still continue to lead unhealthy lives with out proper exercise, diet and rest.
