TORQUE Tribe!!! Today is THE day. The one we have been waiting for. Longing for. Hoping for. It is finally here. The day we all finally come home. I know it won’t be 100% the same, but you know the energy this studio holds has no boundaries. Nothing can keep us from spreading love and good vibes. These past 3 1/2 months have shown us that. Whether it was through virtual classes, Instagram stories, front porch drop offs, check in zoom calls, and everything in between we got here together. United forever through love and good vibes. So as we start on this new, slightly different journey, let’s take some time to reflect about just how far we have come and allow ourselves to be proud of the person walking into the studio today. Because guess what, YOU freaking made it and now it’s time to celebrate just how big of a deal that is.


I mean to think that 3 1/2 months ago our worlds were flipped upside down in the most abrupt, scary, and anxiety filled way still seems unreal to me. In a matter of minutes the homes we live in became office spaces, schools, cafeterias, gyms, dance studios, indoor basketball practices, restaurants, movie theaters, and anything else to keep everyone happy and to resemble some sense of normalcy. All of that happened while we could MAYBE get a box of cereal and some milk to go with it and ONE can of corn because ya know that is sustainable. To think that we lived in a world where nothing was of questions, to a world solely full of questions is not easy on the soul and heavy on the heart. Just pause right now and remember that you made it through that. You made it through the stress. The schedule adjustments. The being the teacher and the boss at the same time. YOU did that. Was it always pretty? I mean I know in this (800 square foot apartment) house it wasn’t, but we are here. And the journey here, maybe it wasn’t as bad as we thought. Yes things were different. Yes things were closed. Yes we ate some interesting combinations. And yes we were bored. But, we were together. We were figuring it out. We leaned on each other to get through. And here we are. Standing strong with our army, ready to come home.


So what happens when we walk into those doors for the very first time?? We let it happen. Whatever it is. Whatever that moment is for you. You. Let. It. Happen. If it is giggles and smiles. Let it be. If it is tears and deep breathe. Let it be. If it is shock and discomfort. Let it be. Whatever it is. Whatever you need. Bring it home to us and leave it there. I know that this place has some magical healing powers that we all have experienced and if all you do is get on that bike or on that mat and let the past 3 1/2 months of stress and fear and anxiety go, then that is okay. Just let this experience, this homecoming, be whatever your body, heart, and soul needs it to be. Because for the first time, in a long time, you get a moment that is just for you. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t keep up. If you lost the rhythm. If you look or feel different. We just survived a world wide pandemic. Be gentle on yourself. You are here and truly (I mean for real) the rest is history.


Before we enjoy the beauty and joy of what the studio re opening means for all of us, it is important to remember all of those who got us here. Close your eyes. Think of those people. The ones who got you through this. They are the real ones. Those are your people. Hold them tight, love them hard, and live a life full of color and grace. And most importantly, to our boss babe. Our sunshine on a cloudy day. Our voice of reason. Our biggest cheerleader. Summer. Thank you for building a community that we can all come home to. Thank you for not giving on us or yourself when life got tough. Thank you for truly meeting us where we were and providing us with what we needed. You are one of the best things that has happened to this community and we would not or could not have made it through this without your hard work and dedication to not only your business, but to all of us. If the bones are good, the rest don’t matter. And this studio, this family, this tribe, is just about as strong and solid as they come. Congratulations for making it through this storm, the sun is rising and you my dear will shine.


So as we come home today remember to give yourself grace. Let it happen however it is meant to happen. Soak it up within your souls. And take a moment to be grateful that we get to be apart of something so magical and amazing as TORQUE. I love you all and cannot WAIT to be home with all of you oh so soon.


With love and hand sanitizer,


Caroline
