This weekend we are celebrating the LIFE of the “Godmother of DDPYoga," Terri Lange. She was one of my best friends and DDPY’s very 1st transformation, nearly 20-years ago. She was a nurse, massage therapist, wife, mother, friend to all and truly a beacon of love and light. She paid it forward, helping many people turn their lives around.
To be truthful, Terri’s passing kicked the shit out of me. It’s kind of what I went through when Dusty and Scott passed away. I get super melancholy and begin to break down and flat out cry. Then some magic moment, a memory pops in, and I just bust out laughing. T was that close to me. I loved her like I love my sister, Sally. We never argued…ever. Her loyalty was timeless.
Over the last 24 years, I have many magical memories with Terri. She started out as my massage therapist, working to fix my battered wrestling body. She would go on to be the first person I ever helped, not just Change her Life, but, Own Her Life. During the eight years it took DDPYOGA to become an ‘overnight’ success, T was always there when I needed her. It could be for a workout, workshop or a fun DDPY skit we were filming. She welcomed everybody with her warm smile and sense of humor. Thank you Terri for believing in me. God Bless her husband Warren (W) for sharing her, I love you brother.
My buddy Sean who works with me somehow found this lost memory earlier today, and I’m so grateful he did. Thanks bro!
Wow, this video has to be 18 or 19 years old. I was living in LA and T came out to shoot our very first Yoga for Regular Guy dvd workouts and do some testimonials. In this video we’re talking about what moved her to action. It’s really powerful. If you’ve read this far I’d love to know what you thought of our conversation. I’ll be putting up another video Sean found tomorrow, to celebrate my beautiful friend’s life.
RIP T ❤️
