I love it when the world aligns!

Long time no write!

On Wednesday night after an especially long day at work I snuggled up to Alex before getting ready to go to Pilates and said "How in the world am I going to keep this up until Christmas?". He said "Just quit one place" and I said "I've made a commitment and I'm sticking to it" then I proceeded to get in a huff and go get ready for my class (knowing that's exactly what I'd like to do but also being extremely stubborn as usual).

On Thursday morning when I got into work I had an email from the girl I teach semi-privates to regarding her last session (that night). She told me that she's been sick for 3 days and didn't think she could sit up for an hour let alone get through an hour session. She then went on to say that since I'd made so many accommodations for her schedule in the past to not worry about making up our last session. I of course responded it was no problem and that we could reschedule but she was insistent. One night down - YES!

Then, on Thursday afternoon around 2:00 p.m. I open up my personal email to find this:

Hi Jenn,
As of today we offered Lindy the whole house and she accepted. I will close the studio asap and freelance between traveling to Florida.I want to thank you for all you work in trying to make the studio a success.To grow the business I would have to focus on spending money and time and with the recent change in my personal home life this couldn't be done. Thinking you should contact Lindy to see if Pilates can still be available under Eternal hot yoga. I will notify the clients and refund were needed.
Thanks
Gwen

Can you say...ummmm - WOW?!

Now, I'm not saying I wanted Your Pilates Place to close down by any means - what I wanted to do was teach 1 night a week vs. 3 times a week. I'm most surprised on Gwen's delivery, I mean she was the one who said she didn't want the business to grow rapidly and I thought she was happy. Pretty much everyone we taught bought a package and kept coming..we at least had a good retention rate!

So, now I'm down to teaching 2 times a week until Christmas and then back up to 3 times a week after that...two times over lunch and one evening. Now that's PERFECT! It'll keep me in shape, keep my teaching skills up and not make me so exhausted that I don't even want to get up in the middle of the night to pee!!

WA-FRICKIN'-HOO!!
