Gabs

Not sure if you’ve been watching the Olympics or not… If not you are really weird! Anyways… I’ve always been fascinated with the  women’s gymnastics competition. I mean these girls are awesome! Each group through the years is just amazing. This year I have been just as excited to watch and I tell you that little Gabby Douglas stole the show! I am just so proud of her. She’s always smiling brightly and not shying away from any interview. Her cool, calm, and collective demeanor on that gym floor was so palpable- she was completely ready. This was her time to shine and she did! Gold medal for her! I was moved to tears! I was just full of pride! She and her little body broke through so many barriers in that one competition. She is the first African American to win the women’s gymnastics all-around individual gold meal! What an inspiration! My pride in her was further confirmed when in her first interview after winning she said that she “couldn’t have done it with out God and that really it was a win-win situation; all praises go up to Him and He pours His  blessings down!” So proud of her. Layla had long been asleep as I watched this historic moment but I know one day when they replay Gabby’s Olympic victory, she will be inspired.
