One of the hardest things about being online, sharing art and working through the online world is people do not see the work. They also do not see you as a person. As a woman who has always had to work hard to do anything she does, some days it really creates an internal world of struggle for her to be seen and feel enough. So much of what I give is with my heart and soul. I am endlessly giving for free as I know how many of us struggle, including myself.  I work 7 days a week. I cannot personally remember a day in the last few years I have not worked.   What I give on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube is for free. However, people will say you have an Only Fans or P@treon. In this world nothing is for free. Even the creation of what I give for free comes at a cost for me with my time, education and the ability to train and workout to keep my skills.  This post alone I am writing right now.  I have to pay an internet bill, electricity bill, my time and then there is the photography. I wonder when in this world people will see the work of hearts and souls like myself and my friends creating online for free and for clients and say thank you or just be grateful. I feel we have come to a world where everything is a given and nobody is appreciated enough anymore. Free is expected. My income is working online these days as a personal trainer, yoga teacher, movement coach and health and wellbeing consultant, and a few in person clients and events, whilst I raise my daughter. It has never been easy but it works. This photo alone isn't just a photo. this is the sum total of saving to fly to the states to collaborate with @audriasana to create content for you all. This photo has a cost of a nanny for my daughter, food on the table, flights to the states, education for me to learn my movements over the years, building a network with others, accommodation in America and food for me. Then there is purchasing equipment, computer programs to edit, computers, time of myself and others and so much more.   I hope one day we see how valuable each other is and how precious it is to receive anything from someone for nothing. Because free always comes at a cost. Nothing is as simple as a photo, a post, some writing. For all those who are into fitness you will know the human body that is fit and healthy takes years of hard work, learning skills, paying for courses or coaching or the gym, equipment, clothes and good nutrition and then some. Things aren't always what they seem We are only seeing part of each other There's more than we could ever know Behind the scenes of everyone of us. One thought I have as we are closing out this year is to you to make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past or others opinions. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.  And also remember to always be grateful for all those that you receive from and the efforts they give to share too.  Sending love to you all Blessing Rhy xo
