Meeting a Female Bodybuilder

Yesterday, pumpkin and I stopped off at Absolute Auto Care on Sunrise Blvd next to Brake Masters to get an oil change. I usually go to Brake Masters but they pissed me off because they lost one of the hubcaps on the car and denied that they had anything to do with it. Absolute Auto Care opened up a few months ago and now was a good time to try them out. They looked pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. Since there was no one ahead of us, I decided to just sit in the waiting room and wait for him to be finished. A few people came and went while I watched TV and pumpkin played on my phone.

Leticia Jackson
After a while a black woman came in to pick up her car. Her car wasn't quite ready so she sat down across from me. CNN was on with a large map of the U.S. displaying all the rising gas prices across the country. The woman looked up and exclaimed, "Oh, my God." That got my attention and I looked up at the map again. Oil and gas are usually pretty close to being one of my favorite topics so we started talking about how well the oil companies are profiting at our expense and how it is that oil prices are rising when demand is down. She seemed to relate to what I was saying about climate change and the need for alternatives to oil. The conversation drifted over to how time flies and how quickly kids like pumpkin learn the computer. I told her I worked out of my home and designed websites. She introduced herself as Leticia Jackson and said that she was a personal trainer. I told her about my other business and how MA might benefit her business. She seemed a little hesitant because of her prior network marketing experience. In any case, I suggested that at least she check out www.tlsslim.com. She told me about her website which she said needed some TLC. I gave her my card and she tore off a piece of paper and gave me her phone number and website address.

We said good-bye when she left and as soon as pumpkin and I got home, I went to check out her website, www.luvyourselffit.com. It definitely was an amateur job, hastily put together. I looked at some of the pictures and saw what looked like a female body builder doing incredible things with her body. No, that couldn't be her. I tried to think back to the woman I met at the auto repair place. There was nothing about her that suggested that she was muscular. Now that I think about it, she was covered from head to toe with clothing which was not out of the ordinary because the weather was kind of cool yesterday. Now I was staring at a body builder and olympic fitness expert. This woman is pure muscle. I have seen pictures of muscular women before but nothing like the definition on this woman. 

I am completely in awe of what Leticia has accomplished. This woman is amazing. She can do things that few people can do, men or women. That takes a tremendous amount of dedication. I hope we can stay in contact because I do want to help her in any way I can.
