The Heart of the Matter- The Power and Potency of a Decision, One Decision

Beth Wheeler, a 36 year old women from the UK, weighed 308 lbs when she got engaged. In planning for her marriage one year later, she ordered a size 12 wedding dress, which was 18 sizes smaller than her usual clothes purchases, knowing the only way she would fit into it was to commit to a health regime/weight loss program to lose 140 lbs before the special day. Her future husband James Wheeler’s proposal was the catalyst that motivated Beth to join a local Weight Watchers group. She made the decision to…

Better To Follow Than Lead By Disease

A conversation I had with a women I met several years ago made the comment that a ‘lot of people lead with their disease’. I had never heard quite a profound statement like that before. She presented examples of how people present themselves to others everyday living this way. It started making me think how this might have impacted me over the years.

They Say It's Your Birthday, It's My Birthday To Yaaa!

The Beatles hit it right on the money. It’s my birthday to yah! Tomorrow, October 16th is my birthday. Of course the one person this should matter to is me, regardless of any other phone calls, etc. So yes, it is an important day to me, a milestone, a new day for a new year! With so many things influencing our days it is rare to stop and honor yourself, and perhaps reflect on the influence and impact you have done, the achievements, just from being alive and interacting with people from every walk of life. Yes, I am in my 50’s, but I still do a countdown a few days ahead of my big day, just like I did in my teens! So I say a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone who’s big day falls on October 16! I send out generous pieces of cake to all of you and be sure to take one for myself…and maybe a dram of single malt scotch to raise a toast to the cornerstones of the earth, just because I can!

Until the next WebLog

I'm A What, A Dynamic Assertive? Say What?

I just finished a book we brought home from our local library that opened my eyes and pin pointed me and the type of personality/ integrity I am. I read this in 2 days because I just could not put it down. This is the way I am. When I get onto something I believe in strongly or focus intently on, nothing stops me. Gary Null, the Advocate for Health, who you may have seen on public TV or read one of his many fantastic books promoting great health/ smart lifestyle, wrote this particular book a decade ago. Yet it is profound and ‘right on the money’ in it’s accuracy. Gary developed these categories to aid everyone to understand

Oh Bee, Oh Bee, Where Art Thou In The Land So free

A recent tv show I watched profiled what I consider to bee the demise of one of the true wonders of the natural world…the honey bee. The honey bee pollinates just about every type of plant, vegetable and fruit in the fields of mankind. We do not only depend on the bee for honey. We need the honey bee to do the natural thing.. to seed the fields of foods in just about every food group available to man! If this does not happen we do not eat, period!
