LIVE... LOVE... LAUGH

Today I am running in memory of my younger and only sister Nadia. She passed away at 28 after a valiant battle with cancer. Right to the end of her life, she thought of others and how she could help. She planned her funeral to be a celebration and requested balloons instead of flowers. On her headstone she had the words LIVE LOVE LAUGH. I try to remember this to live each day, share my love and laugh as much as I can!

Reflecting

Reflecting: "Doug and I found a journal we kept together after his heart surgery. It was a gratitude journal that we would write in each day to help us keep focused on our blessings and not our trials. The common thread through each entry was our gratitude and love for each other. I was moved how often he wrote that he was grateful for my support and encouragement. For me, it was difficult to see him in this weak condition after his surgery. I think the gratitude journal kept me from becoming depressed about our situation. Together, we have rode this roller coaster ride with it's highs and lows. That's the blessing we were there for each other!"

2011...bring it on!

2010 had it's moments both wonderful and dreadful.

We had to deal with Doug's heart condition and tests that should he was continuing to have blockages. Through it all, we stayed on track and focused on eating healthy and keeping active. This formula works! There are so many things that are out of our control but taking the best care of your body that you can is possible. I continue to savour the peace that being sugar free brings me. The years of tormenting myself because of my sugar bingeing serve to remind me that I do not want to risk my sobriety for a momentary pleasure.

Sugar free and loving it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Doug was given the best news, He is healthy and strong!!!

Keys for success!

Learn to love yourself for who you are now!

Practice positive self talk and think positive thoughts about yourself "I CAN"

Keep a picture of yourself the way you want to look on your mirror

Exercise! Don't make it optional. You will feel amazing afterwards with the endorphin rush!

Read Success Stories. Reading about others whose fitness goals are similar to yours will help you.

If they can do it so can you! If I can do it "YOU CAN DO IT"

Lastly, take one day at a time and enjoy life!

Welcome Spark Friends!

I have been active on SP for over a month and love it! Some of you have asked me to include more about myself, I am hoping that my blog will fill you in!

Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -- Marianne Williamson
