Happy Halloween.....Who do you want to be?

Happy Halloween!  Often as children we put on costumes that represent "what/who we want to be" when we grow up. Perhaps it's a princess or a superhero; perhaps it's a nurse or a baseball player.  I'm dressed in a habit today....but not because it's who I want to be when I grow up, but because the virtues of a nun are those that I hope to aspire to one day. Whether you dress up or celebrate Halloween today or not, I encourage you to try to find a few minutes to ask yourself....Who do you want to be....what do you want your life to be like.....a year from now?  Perhaps you want to be healthier or a college student. Maybe you want to be debt-free or sober, or just have a different job. Perhaps you want to be thinner....or kinder....or happier.....or through the worst part of the grief or depression you are dealing with. Whatever it is.....What changes do you have to make TODAY to get there?    CLick below to hear more of my thoughts about Halloween and to see me dressed up as Sr. Mary Celebration!  Have a great day!

What lies are you telling yourself to keep you from changing your life?

I used to be a BIG FAT LIAR! I didn't lie to people, but it was much worse, I lied to myself. The lies I told myself contributed to my former weight of over 400 pounds. I told myself that I could never lose weight, that I didn't deserve any better, and that it was impossible.  Click my video below to hear more about the ways I lied to myself and to discover the TRUTH that could change your life!

Do you believe that miracles happen to everday people?

Do you believe that miracles happen to everyday people? Do you believe that you can have a miracle and you can change your life?  I am living proof, that YES, they do...and YES, you can! My story is remarkable and perhaps quite unusual, but I assure you that I am a everyday, run of the mill, girl from a small town. I don't have a personal trainer or a private chef to cook healthy meals. I don't have some magic potion or incredible weight loss product. I don't have a lot of money to have liposuction or other surgical procedures. I am a normal, hard-working, woman of faith that buys her clothes at thrift stores, goes to work everyday, picks cat hair off her clothes each morning, and faces the same struggles as you.  The first step in changing your life is BELIEVING that it can happen....and then taking the steps to make it happen.

Start again today!

It's lunchtime here in Michigan and I just want to remind you that today is the day! If you had a rough weekend, strayed off plan, or promised to begin your journey or try again on Monday...It is here! This is time! Today is the day! What are you eating for lunch? What are you doing with that cigarette in your hand?  What did you just "say" that you wish you hadn't or "tell yourself" that isn't true?   Start right now! You can do it!
