<h3 class="widget-title" style="text-align: center;">Why do I want to feature an inspirational person in my newsletter?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I want to feature people like Bhumika who have crossed my path and touched my life, inspiring me toward greatness. Too many of us fail to see greatness in ourselves. Somehow, it doesn't seem to matter what we have achieved; we often need others to point out to us how we excel. People display “greatness” by their attitude, their lifestyle, their choices, their actions... I want to recognize the people in my life who lead by example.</p>

<h3 class="widget-title" style="text-align: center;">How did I meet Bhumika?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I had met Bhumika in the fall of 2014 at VIU. She came to my Zumba classes. I admired how well she moved and happy she was. We crossed path again last year and she informed me about her new blogging project; the Writer Eats. I really like her blog and have been impressed by how professional it looks and the content of it. She even became a Zumba instructor and came with me on Gabriola island to teach her first Zumba class. I also asked her to sub my Bootcamp classes at University when I was on a road trip. I am really happy to feature her as an inspirational person, because she has been motivating especially with my online presence.</p>
