Assignment #7
THE POWER OF RIGHT ENVIRONMENTS This is an assignment I have been excited to get to! Last challenge I struggled with this...my husband was not on board for change...either for myself or for himself.Since his diagnosis - I've noticed a change in him. Meals are becoming gradually healthier - he is beginning to take walks for exercise...he is working on his own inner changes. While there is a part of&n...Assignment #6
Transforming what you see.This one is what Marty would lovingly refer to as giving yourself ATTA GIRLS. Recognizing your accomplishments and appreciating ourselves for who we are now and for whom we are on the way to becoming.Last challenge I kept up with this for awhile then stopped. It was around that time that my mindset started to go down hill as well. I think it will be easiest to get up each morning and do my ATTA GIRLS fr...C2 - Day 29
I had a wonderful conversation with Marty today! It feels like AGES since we connected and this really left me feeling so empowered and happy! I've truly been blessed to have Marty live so close to me. There are others whom I've met as a result of our Chicago GET-TO gethers - people who have touched my life and my heart in so many ways. People I never would have met had I not gotten off my butt and began being involved in ...Paying it forward...paying it back
Yesterday I had such a painful day. Not physical pain but emotional and soulful pain. One of my challenge goals is to help to conquor my anger/venomous words. Friday I found myself feeling like I had negated all of the progress I had made towards my goal. I was spiteful and said hurtful things to a friend. At the time...my brain didn't see this...it saw desperation and was crying out for help. But, through the ...Assignment #5

GOD does everything for a reason...thanks be to GOD for showing me another one of my "WHY's" today. After much prodding - my husband went back to the doctor. Over the past year I have seen him get sicker and sicker and I chose this hill to die on...he was going to go to the doctor to take care of his issues. His laundy list of problems:- Early stages of heart failure (swelling in legs and hands with major pitting)...Assignment #4
Yesterday we found out that the swelling in my husbands arms and legs is a result of him being in the early stages of heart failure at the age of 36. Heart failure doesn't mean that the heart will DEFINITELY fail...it means that if you keep going down the path you are currently on...it will. Above and beyond the heart failure - he has a multitute of problems: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, begining stages of diabetes, ov...Assignment #3

Feeling better today as I am getting into the groove of eating right and taking care of myself.Yesterday I felt I had been dealt an unfair blow by my bosses (brother/sister). I had been hired to help run their start-up company - but that didn't happen. Now that they are ready to start it up again...I am not in charge. I was so hurt...hurt because I was lied to....this was MY position...didn't they have faith in MY abilities???Th...Anger Journal - C2 D12 UPDATE
After writing the above journal entry, this weekend was spent trying to rectify this issue. Between us...my husband and I cleaned the kitchen, family room, living room, dining room, powder room and basement including the toy room. We worked very hard to KEEP things clean this weekend also.Walking into this environment to get ready for work this morning was so relaxing! There was such a tremendous sense of peace looking at the cl...C2 - Assignment #2

Today was about praying for God's guidance. My why was eluding me...I was having the most difficult time finding it. So, I took today to pray about it and to e-mail a good friend seeking their guidance. What I got was so unexpected...I am so blessed.********************************************My Why: God has revealed a few of my life's purposes to me... 1. I am meant to have more babies...and the number 2 keeps c...Anger Journal - Introduction
As I sat and pondered what goals I would set for this challenge, I took a good and long look at the job I had done with my life. So far, doing things MY way has gotten me nowhere fast. So, I decided to follow Jerome's lead and pray on it. I offered this to GOD...asking him to show me what goals he wanted to work on. I was asking him to mold me...his clay...into being the person he wanted me to be. This is when I rece...C2 - Day 10
Yesterday my in-laws picked up my 3 yr old for a sleep-over. And...for the first time...my husband and I were alone with eachother. No kids fighting...nowhere to be...no scouts to run to....just he and I. He took me out for dinner (my free meal of the week). We went to Chili's and had some laughs. It felt good to just have some one-on-one time with him. But...conversations kept going back to the kids...or somet...C2 - Day 9

This weekend we spent the 4th of July at my sister Pam's house sorting through thousands of old photos my mother had left when she died back in 2001. We had just never gotten around to it - it was time to just get it done.While sorting through photos - I saw some older photos of my mother. She was SKINNY! MY mother...SKINNY! You have to understand...I only knew the obese Mom...the one who kept trying fad after fad to lose ...floorance
