Waiting is the Difficult Part…until you breathe
“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is “timing” it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.” Fulton J. Sheen Never one for being patient …it has seemed waiting for the therapist…waiting for healing …it has seemed that all I have […]

Not My Monkey…Not My Circus
I almost laughed out loud when my therapist spoke those words aloud…I had been upset because I had been trying to control something/someone that I had no control over…being an Empath has always muddied the waters by feeling the emotions of others …always devoting my precious energy to trying to thinking, ruminating over and over […]

Burning to Emerge…
When I started writing about my “climb up the mountain” of weight loss…there was nowhere in my wildest and crazy thought processes that I could envision where it would take me on my soul’s journey… “Don’t hoard the past. Don’t cherish anything. Burn it. The artist is the phoenix who burns to emerge.” – Janet […]

135 Days…
Back home from a cold and rainy forest holiday in Hogsback (strange name with unknown origin)…supposedly the place that inspired JRR Tolkien… nestled in the Amatola Mountain range and housing the oldest forest in South Africa… With no wi-fi or internet…you can lose yourself in the pure magic…the earthy smells and fragrances of the natural […]

Vroom.. Vroom
Like a souped-up car at the starting lineup of an illicit street race…a little more battered and poorly maintained than most of the participants in the contest of losing weight…but here I am…gunning my engine… Ok…it’s more like turtling along …a nostalgic cruising with the oldies… It took me awhile to get to the starting […]

Days Until…143
🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢…Turtling Along It does take about an hour a day to get 10,000 steps…30 minutes in the morning exercise video…Leslie Sansone 2 mile Walking video on Youtube (Free) AND 30 minutes in the afternoon…walking the dog when weather permits…love being outside…breathing the fresh air… That’s how I’m changing my mindset. Dieting based on willpower DOES […]
