As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Wanting to Make Roots... Sunday, July 12

Korea called, they want me back.

Had the longest conversation with Snickers that I have ever had since arriving in Canada some ten months ago -- 18 minutes and 3 seconds.  His English is getting worse but my patience is getting better.  I'm just in a better place than I was ten months ago -- mentally, physically and emotionally.  I think he's perhaps the opposite and so I worry about him.  He's in Korea managing my dream come true while I'm here trying to still accept having walked away from it all and make my Second Dream. 

I've been living in Canada for ten months and today I wondered to myself what do I really have to show for my time here. 

I've been approached by a boxing coach in Korea that I'm very familiar with, to come back and train with him, but I've also just recently been approached by a boxing club out in Winnipeg, Canada that wants me to go out there.  Options have been presented to me to go various places and explore different things for both training and work but I'd love to make some roots here in Toronto -- the 6ix as the modern kids call it, Tdot as I know it as. I have so many ideas as to how I can make roots here with regards to business ventures and whatnot so my problem isn't a lack of ideas but instead too many ideas.  Today a particular business venture was sparked and the wheel in my head was spinning a mile a minute.  It had me running around the city, peeking in windows and pressing my face against the glass.  This could work, I may have found my Second Dream.
