Kerri states, “At this point in my life I’ve had enough family trauma, male drama, kid adventures and work misfires to write the “War and Peace” of autobiographies. I’ve been taught many lessons, some more than once, and now I’m at an age where I’ve truly learned to love myself. Little of the past matters as much as the here and now. What I am sure of is… It’s not the unforeseen events that bombard your life that make you who you are; it’s how you allow those events to affect your spirit. The emotional meteorites are inevitable and they will undoubtedly take their toll. It is what you use to manage these personal misfortunes that make you stronger. Faced with enough stress, tears, and arguments, and one day you look in the mirror to see a tired old face staring back at you. But it is definitely NOT YOU, or at least not the you — you want to be.”

“My constant companion my entire life has been fitness. It is the salve that heals every hurt, the quiet moments just for me, and the only constant I know with absolute certainty I can control completely. I let nothing stand in the way of my time to train. My divorce followed by a rapid succession of challenges; my father passed away, my mother’s near death illness, the failure of my business and my brother’s cancer was an overwhelming avalanche of catastrophic events.”

“As I lost the balance in everything I had known to be true and valuable in my life, I traveled down a slippery slope. There was a constant gnawing of negativity taking a toll on me and ultimately my two daughters. The only safe place I knew was the exhilaration of physical training. The hurt and disillusionment of life’s constant curve balls dissipated with each and every movement. I ate right and exercised without fail. My confidence changed and the ability to juggle the mayhem became palpable. I discovered what no “self-help” book had ever been able to communicate. If you feel good about your physical being everything else in your world rights itself.”

“I devised some simple rules that helped keep me on the right track. As those around me began to notice my “happiness transformation,” my friends and teen daughters encouraged me to put my “rules” on paper (I prefer “principles”—who likes rules?!) They are the Pedestal Principles. The name “Pedestal Principles” comes from my belief that every woman deserves to have her rightful spot on top of the pedestal. The Principles focus on how fitness can create balance in every aspect of your life. These principles are NOT foolproof but a solid guide. My new book ” Cut Your Age in Half: 30 days to a younger you” will be available soon.”
