A Pocket full of Dreams! Seasons Greetings!

Your Pocket Full of Dreams!

Hello everyone! With the onset of Christmas and New Years I wanted to wish you all a happy holiday, and even more so, a holiday that should begin with a sense of "Feeling Brand New".The holidays are always a time to reflect and grow. As you know I am driven by each new challenge and somewhat intoxicated by the fruits of my labour to do my best to succeed. People always ask me, how to embrace such motivation? ...And my answer is always the same. Motivation is something that comes from the inside, and not something that is given to you. In fact it sits on the seat of your soul. You attract into your life,whatever it is you feel inside. So if you feel that being a good wife or a great father is what inspires you to be the best you can be, then let that source of inspiration be your motivation. In any case, your inspiration is what will motivate you to have a pocket full of dreams!

Photos from Can Fit Pro..thanks to all who came out!

A BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO CAME OUT TO SEE ME AT THE CAN FIT PRO EXPO! It is always so nice to see old friends, acquaintances and everyone who shares their love for health and fitness. It's so funny because everytime I go to these expos.. I think "gosh , everyone is in such great shape"! LOL And makes me think I am the one who needs to keep busting ma booty! Why is that? But I think we all think that don't we? We are , our own worst critics ...errrrh! Nonetheless it is always an inspiration for us! Keep posted for future pics....

Live your LIFE! Don't let life live you! Visit me at CAN FIT PRO!

People always ask me , How do you get things done?, Where does your drive and motivation come from? My answer is, "How do you not get things done?" I think of it like this: Procrastination and hesitation in my eyes are the route to all evil. The minute you hesitate about your goals, your dreams , you inspirations...it only leaves an opportunity for many to hesitate, to doubt, to question their strength, and perhaps what those around them may think. Most people will think about the excuses of the family, the children, work and end up with a preconceived notion that their lifestyle doesn't allow them the time....Sound familiar? STOP Procrastinating! Change your mindset and believe you will get things done TODAY, and not "tomorrow" as "the tomorrow " never comes and only sets you up for failure.
So ...to answer your question, How do I get things done? No matter what is going on in my life, I tell myself that my goals and dreams are what will make me a better person. They are the fuel that make me smile, that make me feel good about myself, that make me want to inspire others . I don't think about what other's may think or that life's circumstances will take up too much time. I LIVE MY LIFE, AND I DON'T LET LIFE LIVE ME!

Life’s Journey…a big thanks along the way

From a young girl..I always knew that I wanted something greater in life. I knew that I wanted to push the boundries, take risks and embrace the fruitful gratification of success . Life is a journey, not a destination. It is the journey that defines who you are, and where you leave your lasting impressions. So when asked “ how did you do it all?” , I think back to when I was that young girl wanting to step outside the box of life. From the first time I tumbled as a gymnast to the journey as a professional salsa dancer and now my career in the media and modeling I continue to re invent myself; I am a chameleon in pursuit of greatness…and therefore the journey never truly ends.

Here is a taste of my life’s journey right from the eyes of that young girl. Enjoy this video collage of photos . ….AND a BIG THANKS to all wonderful people by my side!

Just follow your heart…..I did!

Well to follow the new wave, I have also started up on Twitter at

Between the 95 thousand different alerts on my phone between email notifications, text messages BB messenger, facebook, myspace and now twitter...Can you only imagine the on going song my phone plays????? I know pathetic right? But I guess I get to keep all my peeps in the game...so it's worth it..and thanks for always keeping posted and wanting to know what is going down in the life of Ms Nancy the RedStorm!

Well now that I am back I am able to share my wonderful experiences with you all by way of photos and videos. I have now posted photos on my page ..enjoy!
Now as you know I joined Ruth Silverman, Senior editor of Iron Man Magazine and women's Pump and Circumstance colunmist, this past weekend to bring to you " off the press" updates and the "low down" on what was happening with the women. You can now view post women recap video footage on line at
wwww.ironmanmagazine.com
For direct links to our women's recap in Fitness, Figure and women's Bodybuilding results:
And you can be sure that Ruth and I will always tell you how it is...

A busy Arnold once again!

...Well here I am finally back to my hotel room with a few minutes to post an update. I am so bad...I had the greatest intentions to post yesterday but of course I was completely bombarded by the Thursday and Friday events that by the time I headed back to my hotel...I zonked right out!....yes I am a loser...LOL
So Thursday started with many meet and greets as all the athletes got settled in , attended the athlete meetings and of course it was the night for the Amateur Pre Judging Segment. A big shout out to Christine Lanois who placed in the top 10.
After that we had "girl power" merge together with a later dinner with DR. Navarro, Ruth Silverman and CJ while we caught up on what was goin' down! Imagine the 4 of us out@! Yes 4 strong independent women, AND loud at that !
Friday was spent at the expo watching the pre judging segment for the women. Ruth and I were watching every move making our own assessments of each call out.
I ran into so many fans and thank you for coming out and making the grand effort to find me in the midst of that insane crowded expo. I also spend much of Friday in various meetings I had with industry professionals on future projects. NO! I can't tell you anything yet, but you all know I always got something going on when "something else is going on" LOL
I big shout out to Ahmed Kargar of Physique magazine for coming all the way from Dubai! Just goes to show how powerful this event is bringing everyone together. WE had lots of things to talk about. And thanks to all those interviews from everyone! I love speaking to you all in what ever shape or form and will let you know when I see any of the postings.
I have lots of great photos put of course ...I forgot my uploader card at home..WTF!
Anyway..I have been continuing today with many meet in greets and the post wrap of video with Ruth on the women's finals. Congratulations Jen Hendershott , Fitness International winner, Ziville Radoniene, the new Figure International and Iris Kyle taking her 4th Ms. International title..
Lots more to come...for now...a few minutes to rest!
LUv Ya!

Keep posted for my blog updates from the Arnold!

Well I can't believe it's here in just about a day and a half!
I just finished packing everything I need...and much more. Why is it that you end up packing a million pairs of shoes for a 3 day event. I always over pack , what else is new. I always cringe at the airport when the check in lady saids, "Now place your bag on the scale.."...And then the big red tag that saids "heavy" goes around the handle! Okay...so get used to it already.
So I am leaving tomorrow thursday and starting the weekend off meeting up with my 3 chicks, Dr. Navarro, C.J. and Ruth S....
Be sure to keep checking back for my daily blogs from the Arnold. And once again, to all the friends and fans...I will be sitting in the women's pre judging at the expo at noon on Friday, so catch me there.
Here's some memories from last year....I love meeting all of you!

ARNOLD predictions with Ruth Silverman of IM on Living Beautiful! Listen to find out!

Well this week on Living Beautiful Radio with of course, myself and Dr. Navarro, we did our annual Arnold Predictions for the women's Figure, Fitness and Bodybuilding. Joining us was Ruth Silverman of IronMan Magazine who is our official contest correspondent. She is always a bunch of laughs and when the 3 of us get together to discuss the business of fitness...well it's very much like "The View". Dr. Navarro tends to put things more mildly but Dr. Ruth and I...we just like to tell it how it is. None the less , we seem to have the same opinion on who will most likely place where.
We did agree that for Figure, Gina Aliotti would keep her title. In fitness, with both Adela Garcia and Kim Klein out of the equation we agreed, "who would be crazy enough to bet against our girl Jen Hendershott???". Lastly for women's bodybuilding...we think Iris will do it like she normally does.

To listen to all our predictions, the show replays are now available on line at www.LivingBeautifulRadio.com. You can even pod cast this episode and other past shows to your IPOD and listen while you work out. The show will air this Sunday March 1st at 6pm EST on 1470AM radio in Fort Lauderdale Florida.
So the Arnold starts this thursday March 5 with the Amateurs . Sorry everyone and to all the fans and friends wondering what booth I will be at. I had to pass this year as part of the media passes Dr. Navarro and I will be running around getting official statements and comments from the ladies. On Friday you will find me at the women's pre judging at the expo which starts at 12 noon. We will indeed be sitting with Ruth Silverman and we always find it interesting to see how close we were in our predictions. Sometimes, something completely off the wall happens and we sit and look at each other like " what the hell..." and then we laugh at ourselves!
On Saturday I will be joining Ruth for her post video wrap up of the women that she does for IronMan. You will be able to watch that on www.ironmanmagazine.com shortly after the weekend. And you know Ruthy and I will always give you the goods like it went down...and leave you with some entertaining flava!

I can't wait to see all of you there! Holla and find me!

Obama Day!

What a day today, the day that Barcack Obama was officially sworn in as President. I can't even begin to explain the feeling I had today. A feeling that I think millions of people across the world shared. A feeling that restored faith and hope and bonded people together. I sat and watched the more then 2 million people in attendence in Washington. And I listened to Obama deliver his speach, and with every sentence, I had goose bumps all over. People thought it would never happen. A black President. Well it did, and it goes to show you that if you believe in yourself and believe in what you stand for, anything is possible. I am sure that Obama could write a book about all his trials and tribulations. No matter what, he still pushed forward. It really takes a remarkable person to make change and Obama is a man of integrity and charisma. It was an emotional day indeed....

Thanks to Physique Magazine for my 6 page layout!!

Hey ...

I just wanted to give a HUGE shout out to the "boys" out in Dubai at Physique Magazine for the wonderful 6 page layout in their December issue. The feature was called "The Do's and Don'ts of Fitness Modeling". By popular demand I wrote this article to answer a lot of those questions that are often asked by new and veteran fitness models. Having a proper etiquette is paramount. Here are 2 of the tear sheets and I will be posting the article soon enough! It just amazes me how we can share the fitness bug all across the the world and I really must commend everyone out in the Middle East!

Think BIG FOR 2009!

Well, yes it's that time everyone, a New Year with new goals. Most of you are probably really excited to get back on track with your goals, whether it be to lose weight, get in shape or even stop smoking. Aren't we all? But at the same time once the noveltyof a new year settles down, we also face our fear. Yes, I said "fear". Some often won't even admit it to themselves, but deep down we all fear failure. Well you are not alone. I even question my capabilities with certain things...and then the big DOUBT enters our minds.

I am often asked the question " how do you motivate yourself and how do you keep going?" To answer that , funny enough sometimes I even ask myself, but really I find my answer "deep inside me" I guess my soul always speaks to me, I call it my "self talk" that comes from my subconscious mind. I guess I try to live each day with a "NO EXCUSES" ATTITUDE. Face it , we all try to blame outside circumstances for not being able to achieve our health and fitness goals. We blame work, the children, school, etc. Guess what, they never go away! In fact, the moment you continue to blame outside circumstances , you give away YOUR POWER AND CONTROL", leaving you feeling powerless. So what I am saying is REGAIN YOUR POWER AND TAKE ACTION WITH YOUR LIFE. If you make yourself and your goals a priority, you will make time to making yourself a priority, making yourself feel better and helping you on the journey to achieving your goals. So just like you get ready for work, take care of the children, go grocery shopping, WRITE DOWN YOU GOALS, MAKE A LIST. Once you do that you find yourself committed, just like you would be committed to any other appointment in your day.

Post it on your fridge in the kitchen or desk at work, so it's in your mind throughout the day.

Trust me ....the simple reminder of the list or even a picture will begin to give you strength and motivation.

One thing that keeps me going is I always remind myself that there is always someone "working harder and working smarter".... and then that is enough to kick my ass up again! LOL!!

THINK BIG FOR YOURSELF, YOU DESERVE IT!

Believe in yourself..

Happy New Year....luv ya all!
