So there is this amazing gym called the Brooklyn Zoo that I really love. I have been taking classes there and attending open gym sessions as part of my training for Stunt Mom. Tonight was amazing! I started with a tumbling class where I did things that logically I shouldn't be able to do. Then I stayed for an open gym session to practice everything necessary for the film shoot next week. Well, I think the part that is the coolest is the confidence that I have gained since this all began. The open gym session is primarily men. And tonight it started with all men...and me. And the vast majority of the people there are younger than I am. So it is completely safe to say that I was the only MOM in the room. I'm watching men flipping, twisting, jumping to heights that seem impossible. The gym is filled with these young athletic men...and me. But I have been working and I am getting stronger and I am STUNT MOM. So I took my space, I got in the line, I asked for the floor and I did my thing. And I did it well. I am a mom! I have exhibited strength in the face of pain that those men will never know so I will not be intimidated by the fact that I can't do what they can do. I can do what I can do! And everyday, I can do more because I keep working with confidence in myself!
