 Lenise: I'm a  certified Pilates instructor, Aerial Yoga instructor, dancer and Personal trainer. I teach nationwide and predominately in the Greater Los Angeles area. 


Me:  How did you start Pilates aerial fitness/yoga? 
Lenise: I have always wanted to run away with the circus. I took a aerial class and couldn't lift my own body weight. I researched what exercise I could do to make me stronger and Pilates kept popping up. Directly after my first class, I walked up to the instructor and told her I want to be a TEACHER! The rest is history.

















Me: What was your inspiration in starting? 
Lenise: My inspiration comes from wanting to help people achieve their goals and live a healthier lifestyle.

Lenise: My interest in Pilates came from me wanting to run away with the circus! I took an aerial arts class and couldn't lift my own body weight. I researched exercises to do to condition me to be a great performer and Pilates kept popping up. I took one Pilates class and was sold on becoming a teacher! I felt that everyone should experience how great this feels.

Me: What is most satisfying about what you do? 
Lenise: The biggest satisfaction I get is when I see people accomplishing their goals and going above and beyond with their expectations. I also feel a great feeling of accomplishment when I do a new pose or exercise that I have never done before.

Lenise: It makes me happy and gives me purpose. I always ask God to use me in the direction he would like me to serve him. 

Me: What are some of the benefits of Pilates and yoga? 
Lenise: Pilates and Aerial Yoga/Fitness is great for increasing flexibility, strength, blood circulation, core control, and a lot more. Its all low impact with options to add more dynamic movement.

I had fun at this cute location. It reminded me of an old-fashioned small-town romance movie. The owners of the company, Cherryl and Denice, provided an overview of their lives and the history of Tiers of Sweetness. The cake-making sisters are a talented team. After completing a cake decorating course, Denice, who was previously a hair stylist, began her career as a cake decorator.   Cherryl joined her sister full-time after retiring from the Department of Conservation after 39 years of service. I adore how she saw her sister's vision and understood that her love and passion were revealed while assisting her. When I visited, the women were very  friendly. I was captivated by their account of how God served as their compass and mentor during their business efforts. They discovered

Don't Be Quick to Judge a Parent with a Child with Autism

Written By: Felecia Causey Photography By: Felecia Causey No matter what happens, a parent will always love their child. Numerous families face a variety of difficulties. Similar to people with any other disability, people without the condition occasionally have misconceptions about things they don't fully comprehend. Physical characteristics are not a sign of autism; children with autism lack a distinctive facial characteristic that would enable someone to identify them. A child with autism needs to be treated with kindness and respect, just like any other person. Even though many people are quick to draw this conclusion about any child, it's crucial to avoid drawing conclusions. Even if they can't express their feelings verbally or their facial expressions don't reflect it, they still have feelings. We have to be aware that parents go above and beyond in an effort to give their children the best care possible. Seeking assistance from friends and family who are ill-eq

I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm
