Do You Know the Shepherd?

September 25, 2008We've probably all heard the saying: "It isn't what you know, but who you know that's important." Usually this is said with some digruntlement because we, or somebody we know, feel we have been cheated in some way. Last night, I once again attempted to complete Bill's assignment #12B and began writing down the words I had used during the day. And, once again, I did not complete the a...

It's Happening!

Friday, September 19, 2008It's happening. My transformation ... is happening. Not so much physically yet, but that will come. What I'm referring to is the fact that I could finally bring myself to post a picture of me. All these weeks, I had secrets I was afraid to reveal. Many secrets. Among them, my figure and my age are things I've been reluctant to share - and the years that show in my face. &nbs...

An Old Post Revisited

September 18, 2008Bill's latest lesson, #12, was a powerful reminder to me of something I have long believed yet often forget. Words do have power and I have experienced the power of my own words, often negatively, too often to dismiss this lesson. The power of words and the energy they create in us is not something to be scoffed at or taken lightly. Skeptical? Then think of this: one of my favorites lessons...

Tell Them Where to Go!

August 31, 2008Here's a website that will customize T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies for a fairly reasonable price. I just ordered a hoodie and T-shirt that reminds me of my goal and helps me stay focused. I am doing something good for my body and my life and if anybody asks me about my T-shirt or Hoodie message, I can literally tell them where to go: Transformation.com! Here's the link: Design your own Transformati...

Visualizing and Realizing - A True Lesson

2008-08-26I am a champion. It just doesn’t show yet.So far this week, I have started a new approach to my transformation, a new “old” approach I should say. I’ve used it in the past with astounding results.Twenty-five years ago today, (when many of you were still little kids), I was a young wife and money was tight. I was driving an old car that needed expensive repairs and I had to drive it anyway, takin...

Amping Things Up

August 21, 2008"If at first you don't succeed....find what works for you." I've been extremely faithful to my transformation workouts and eating program for the last eight weeks. When my friend who is a personal trainer looked at my "before" picture and my picture 7 weeks later and commented on "a little improvement", I knew it was time to amp things up. The reason is she thought my &...

Life's canvas

August 21, 2008The creation of beauty has no age limits or biases. Grandma Moses found her creative genius in capturing old memories on canvas at the age of 92. Akiane is only 13, yet her art and poetry have reached the world creating a legacy of incredible beauty and wisdom. http://www.artakiane.com/akiane_art.htm#This one is espcially beautiful. http://www.artakiane.com/paintings/age_12/age12_05.htmWhat beauty can y...

The Lights are On

August 20, 2008...come and join me for a minute or two. Wish I had a serving of humor or cup of joy to share with you. I only have me - and my ruminations. Last Sunday was my birthday and for some reason, it brought up lots of memories, a few regrets, and a liberal serving of insights for my personal "new year." I've finally lived long enough to discover what I want to do ...

Self-Destructing

August 15, 2008I read Jacqui's blog every day. That lady is truly an asset to anyone who is serious about transforming and being the change. If you need some honest support or a swift boot in the caboose to get out of a slump, she's there to do the honors. Today her blog about Deconstructing is one of her best yet. Do yourself a favor and take the time to read it. Jacqui is "deconstructing" in a powerf...

Trick or Treat

August 13, 2008Today must be Halloween. All the ghouls and goblins have found their way to my mind and I have become a Transformation Witch! I want to eat. I don't want to exercise. And, man am I cranky!I've been totally spot-on with my program for 7.5 weeks. Only two free days and that was because I had a glass of wine! With the exception of four days that I didn't exercise much because I had severely strained...

My Invisibility Cloak

August 12, 2008Yesterday, there was news that scientists are close to creating an invisibility cloak that will make military equipment invisible to radar by deflecting light and disbursing it away from an object. I'm not a scientist, so my explanation here is sketchy at best. But, I say, BIG DEAL!I've had an invisibility cloak for the last 5 years. Since gaining 60 pounds, I've become virtually invisible to strangers. ...

Winner or Champion

August 10, 2008Yesterday, August 9th, was a turning point in my transformation and my life. I learned a valuable lesson that I believe will influence me for all the years ahead. I learned the difference between a winner and a champion. I was fortunate enough to have lunch with Sharen Martin and in the four incredible hours we spent talking and laughing, she taught me a valuable lesson - not in words so much as by who she is. Sha...

No More Hairballs

August 6, 2008The hairballs are gone. I have made promises to myself and to God. The most significant milestone realization in the last 5 days away from this site is this: I have always gotten in the way of my dreams. I am my own worst enemy. I pray for help then argue with God and blame Him when it seems nothing changes. I've realized, with some personal drama, that for me to "Be the Change," I ...
