It’s been close to nine months since I started my journey to a healthier lifestyle and I’ve just hit another milestone – 45 pounds lost. That means only 30 more pounds to go and then keeping all that weight off for good. The change has me feeling emotionally and physically better. I have less pain in my knees and am able to do all kinds of things I could not before. Because of that, I am enjoying new workouts, like Boxfit and Yoga. Plus I am eating healthier foods and it shows in things like my cholesterol levels and blood pressure. I am so happy I took that first step to get healthier and am determined to keep on going! If you’re on a similar journey, please take a moment to share how you’re doing.
#TransformationTuesday – Inspiration for the holidays and a lifetime
My transformation continues and I’m happy to say the scale keeps on going down. Ready to hit another milestone soon and go for another one. If you’re on your own journey, I hope it is going well for you, but if it isn’t going as you wish, just remember anything is possible. To help you with that thought I’m sharing this amazing inspirational video that was shared with me! This man’s transformation is amazing and if you don’t cry while watching this video . . .
Here is Arthur and his Incredible Transformation.

#WriteWed #WisdomWednesday – Self Doubt is an Anchor That Keeps You From Flying Free
Most people think that with over 50 published works in 20 years that I can just sit down and write and write and write. Many know that I normally have a strict regimen of writing every day (work and family permitting). But like many there are moments when self-doubt grabs me and drags me down, especially in this constantly changing publishing landscape. Self-doubt is one of the most debilitating things in life and not just for writing. It can become an anchor that can keep you from success at whatever you want out of life regardless of whether it’s a relationship, career or writing. When those moments come on me, I tell myself to look not at what’s not been done, but at what’s been accomplished. I tell myself that the person who did all that can do anything they absolutely want to do. The only thing standing in the way is my own self-doubt. If you have those moments as well, take a second to share what helps you get over them and move on.

#ThrowbackThursday – My Little One
My daughter has been on my mind a lot lately, mainly because she’s embarked on the next phase of her journey through life. She just got a new job and is getting married in the fall. We’ve been having fun with her in New York City which has let us have time together for shopping sample sales, dinners, and other entertaining things. We haven’t run into New York City vampire though. At least not yet! LOL! For today, a cute picture from when my daughter was about two or so. Hat is courtesy of the grandparents and attitude is all her own.
#WisdomWednesday – Take the First Step
It’s hard to think about taking that first step into the unknown. Whether it’s a new relationship, a new book, or even revisiting something old that you’ve been trying to forget, it takes courage. But taking that first step is a necessary part of a journey that could be truly rewarding. So as hard as it is, take that first step.
It’s never too late…
To become who you were meant to be. Don’t know who said that, but it’s so true. We all go through different phases in life, sometimes not really knowing if that’s what we want to do or if that’s what we’re meant to do.
It’s all about the journey and sometimes it’s a long journey. Just ask this little turtle about that.
