It's been tough because I'm in classes with both of them. <BR/><BR/>You're absolutely right that you can't please everybody, so why try?<BR/><BR/>I just ordered the first set (the UK is behind...), and I get to open it this Christmas!

I've been in this weird relationship with this guy for a couple years and it finally ended, which was really hard for me. What you wrote was exactly what I needed to read. <BR/><BR/>You are so right when you say that some people just "aren't looking for us." It's not an insult; we're just not what they're looking for.<BR/><BR/>I'm so thrilled that I found Turbo Jam! Your workouts are perfect for me, partly because YOU make it so fun.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!Briannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10452275921658865583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098834.post-1134966261531799922005-12-18T20:24:00.000-08:002005-12-18T20:24:00.000-08:00Hi Chalene,I just joined this site and started rea...Hi Chalene,<BR/><BR/>I just joined this site and started reading your blogs. When I came to this posting, all I kept saying to myself was that what you were saying was so "right on". I feel that what you stated, was by far the best piece of advise that anyone has given. You also mention that it's very important to not shield your children from the realities of life and that we should prepare them to be handle all things that come our way. I know mothers want to protect their children, but what better way to support your children, then by making them strong, happy and well-adjusted people. Thanks for the words of encourgement. When I was younger, I did feel alot of the things you mentioned; however, as I have now reached the "over 40" mark, I truly understand what you are trying to convey here. I look forward to working with your "Turbo Jam" program and what other interesting things you have to say. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>By the way, where in the Midwest are you from? Also, I did live in Southern California for the first 6 months of the year. I may be coming back out next year. If I do, I'll be coming to your studio for class and visit. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098834.post-1132290772556406232005-11-17T21:12:00.000-08:002005-11-17T21:12:00.000-08:00Dearest Chalene~ Just wanted to let you know that...Dearest Chalene~ Just wanted to let you know that "YOU" are "MY CUP OF TEA"!!!!! I would never sell short the way that P90 paved for me and the positive changes that have occured within me during the past 2.5 years, however; my love for dance and music, and rhythm and "fun" in general was overflowing when I found TJ! Something inside me just clicked when I began this program 15 days ago. I just knew that I had finally got ahold of a program that was made "just for me"! I believe that you could sell enough videos off my excitement alone here in Indiana! My friends are cracking up about my new found love and they have all been with me at some point or another exercising to your programs! When you love something this much, and it's making changes for the better..you cannot help but share it with others! It would be an injustice to keep this to myself! There are too many of those misrably depressed, fitness thirsty people out there who need to try this program. My hope is that once I'm finished with this program that I can attend a live class with you and thank you in person! I have a feeling that there will be lots and lots of tea drinkers out there, everywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098834.post-1129409534787443142005-10-15T13:52:00.000-07:002005-10-15T13:52:00.000-07:00Perfect TimeingI recently got turned down for a jo...Perfect Timeing<BR/><BR/>I recently got turned down for a job I really, really wanted. I cried all day. Thank you for writing this. I tried not to take it personally, but it was hard. I feel much better about it now. I guess I knew deep down during the interview that I wasn't connecting with the manager.<BR/>After reading your piece I realize that it's not really my problem and life goes on. I shouldn't try to change how I am, since it has gotten me pretty far in life so far. Like a wonderful husband and children.<BR/>Thank you again Chalene<BR/>KelliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098834.post-1128387375336324562005-10-03T17:56:00.000-07:002005-10-03T17:56:00.000-07:00Your piece is very encouraging.

I think it gets easier to process and move on as you get older, but sometimes scars run deep. I'm learning that's okay too and it's all a part of who I am, which BTW, I wouldn't change for the World! :)<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day it all comes down to "Was I the best person I could be today".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being you and bringing TJ and all your "SPAZZINESS" to the masses!<BR/><BR/>*CHALENEROCKSMUAHS*Michelle E. ~ Vintage Pastiche'https://www.blogger.com/profile/17348497768817156857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098834.post-1128271471816784192005-10-02T09:44:00.000-07:002005-10-02T09:44:00.000-07:00Applause, applause, standing ovation.......I absol...Applause, applause, standing ovation.......<BR/><BR/>I absolutely love what you wrote, and wholeheartedly agree. I've spent too much of my life trying to fit others, trying to please others, trying to change too much of what matters to me for others... but no more! Now that I'm 40, I've decided to do just what you said. I've been working on making myself the best ME I can be (which included finding P90 and giving it my all) and now I love who I am and KNOW who I am. (By the way, I've added TJ to my BB library too- and loving it! Thank you!)<BR/><BR/>I love your reference to us being like a quilt. We're all different, original, beautiful in our own ways, just like a quilt. And we all have our mismatched corners, our frayed threads, or lumpy spots too- that we can try to hide but can't. Or we can just accept those faults as part of the whole beauty of the quilt and the reason why it's such an original. <BR/><BR/>Wise words, Chalene!<BR/><BR/>~TuxBTuxBabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868577738701448304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13098834.post-1128269418007781772005-10-02T09:10:00.000-07:002005-10-02T09:10:00.000-07:00I'm really glad you wrote this piece. For a long ...I'm really glad you wrote this piece. <BR/><BR/>For a long time I always thought that everyone had to like me. I would do whatever I had to to get people to like me. Pretty much, everything but be myself. I've never been the cute girl, or the skinny girl. I was the plain girl. I found myself many times gaining more friends only when they needed something. Eventually something clicked in my head and I got rid of most of those people. Now I have a few, really good amazing friends. Don't get me wrong, I still help strangers, and I'd give most people the shirt off my back if they needed help - but I don't do it to gain their approval anymore. I do it because... that's just who I am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
