So, I am totally into animal symbolism, especially when I see an animal in an area I haven't noticed them before. Last fall I saw a Beautiful heron at a park I walked a million times but never saw him before. The symbolism of the heron was that you are on the right path (and also some tr...

I Am
Hi, I am Janelle. My Pug is actually the real "Spanky Dean," but I tend to use that name for forums because I remember it. It really doesn't reflect my personality at all, but it will have to do. ;)
I am married, and my husband and I live in Roseville, MN.
I found T.com in January, 2009 and I jumped right in with both feet. I actually came here thinking I already knew all this spiritual stuff, but just wanted to lose that extra weight finally. Well, I lost a ton of weight my first challenge. Then I waivered a bit and got started up again in the summer, and lost a ton more weight. But, then in October I crashed and burned. I gained all the weight I had lost and then some!! I stayed connected to the community though. I recommitted myself in January, but things didn't start to truly click for me until Four weeks into the 2010 Challenge. I found myself on my knees in complete and utter surrender after binge-eating almost 4000 calories worth of food. I sent out a distress call and was able to talk to someone on the phone immediately.
Everything changed that day.
I am now in this with a humbled heart, really ready to DO THE WORK. Expect great changes from me this year.
To be continued...
My Favorite Charity
Children's Dental Services: Healthy teeth and gums are essential to a child's well-being and will set them up for health for LIFE.
To me, Transformation Means
Transformation to me means:
~~ AWAKENING ~~
My Goals
~ To give my all to this 2010 Challenge. It started out rough, but I did not quit and start over because the first four weeks got me to where I am now. Where I am now is in a mindset I have never been before. I will finish strong and carry on!
My Intentions
~To seek and enjoy vibrant health by making healthy choices each day. ~ To uplift others to seek and enjoy vibrant health everyday.
~ To live in a way that reflects my true self, and inspire others to do the same.
Who I'd Like to Inspire
I guess whoever "is" inspired, is who I would like to inspire. ;)
I would like to at least AIM for a life that is "inspiring" though I know I may not always live up to that lofty ideal. ;)
T.com demands a higher standard of living than I think my character will always allow, but man, I have fun trying!!
Hi Janelle! I wanted to introduce myself. I am from MN as well. Paul (helios) has been in touch with me and I am just now finding more MN people on t.com. It looks like you are making great progress! Congratulations! This is my first challenge and even though the progress it slow, it's working. I'm hoping to join in on a MN get together soon. ~ Steph

Janelle, I missed you and your wonderful posts! Your messages keep getting more and more inspirational!!! I didn't want to leave Dallas, but knowing I was going back home and could get back to reading your posts in the morning was my one bright spot!!!!!!!! I hope we both make it to Denver in October.

Janelle--my pleasure my friend. You are doing so great, and I am proud of you--keep going strong!!! You inspire me :)
I think we could do it next week. Not Monday or Friday. Ideas?
Let's set up a time soon where we can meet in Minnesota. Just for a 1/2 or so. No big deal. I'd like to get Paul, Bethanne, Justice, and whomever else invited too. I feel like we are missing an opportunity to create transformation community in Minnesota. Let's take the first step by getting together for coffee sometime. What do you think.
Thanks for dropping by my blog and commenting. It does make a difference and I think your right about the community involvement being key to success. Have a great week!

Friend Janelle...... I LOVE the things you are learning! I just received one of my daily Janelle tidbits, and it was this: "We have the choice of how we are going to show up each day". Thanks for being willing to learn these things and then so beautifully sharing them with the community. You are a blessing to so many of us here. See you around Transformationville! ~Elizabeth~
Hey Stranger!!!! Missing you and t.com! Love you and so proud of the changes that I have seen in you this year already! xoxo
How's it going? I've been a bit out of touch with a crazy busy work and travel schedule... bringing myself back in, and wanted to see how you are doing.
