Hearts get broken, hearts heal
Life goes on, until it doesn't

I was not put here on this earth to have the life that you would want for me...
I was put here to have the life that He would want for me...

Cherish what you have while you have it.  Fate is a cruel trickster that steals things away you never thought you could lose.

Why the compelling need to heard?  Why is it important that things be equal, that things be fair?  When the dust settles and the day is done is it not better to just have said "today, I loved".

A NEW DAY A NEW BEGINNING

 A NEW DAY A NEW BEGINNING

 February 6, 2013
Yesterday marked my youngest son's 20th Birthday.  An  awesome milestone because he is an amazing young man, but also a milestone of another sort.  I have been over 300 pounds for 20 years.  This is jaw dropping and heart breaking to me.  I have given 20 years to an extremely unhealthy body.  That 20 years went in the blink of an eye for me.  The next 20 will probably go even faster.  I want to spend what is left of my life in a healthy body.  I have to choose this each and every day the same way I have been choosing not to smoke.  These life changes are not punishments or denials, these life changes are based on loving myself and the body that God blessed me with. 

AFFIRMATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
I will not beat myself up, I will love Bobbi and all that goes with her.  I will LOVE the journey.  I will experience new things like yoga and meditation.  I will come from a place of hope and encouragement for myself.  I will love myself AT LEAST as much as I LOVE OTHERS.  I will cook and eat healthy vibrant foods for my body.  I will move my body...slowly at first...gently, lovingly and I will progress and learn how to move with purpose and strength and speed.  I will work hard not to injure myself, thereby impeding my progress.  I will "stay the course".  Old fears and old lies that I have told myself about safety are no longer going to "control" my life.  I am safe in my skin, I can watch out for myself.  My family can watch out for me.  My husband loves me and will protect me.  I am a strong and capable woman and I can do this.
I cannot help others achieve this goal without going there first myself...
Today's weight is 329.6 and I love every square inch of ME!!!

Ugly Girl - December 26, 2012

Wow she gets ugly... she can feel and say some shit that is unbelievably cruel. Only by having others treat her with cruelty has she learned how to act this way herself. However, youth and an unfortunate past are not license to continue in this pattern. Earth energy is heavy...God... "heavy" has been such a predominant theme in my life... I want to fly....I want to be "the wind" the air gently rustling through the leaves or blowing fiercely from time to time,with a purpose in mind...a destination,a goal... The last time I set a "major" goal in stone and saw it through in "the right way" I believe I was 16 years old...Come to think of it, that is the last time I "really admired myself"...WTF really??? Thats some hard core shit considering that I am 54 years old...huh...lets see (pauses to use calculator...) 38 freakin years ago... WOW...what a waste of fucking time and energy and life...not another minute...not even one, will I intentionally waste. Commit...be what you commit to be...only then will you have integrity for yourself...practice all that shit you preach bitch...stuff a sock in your mouth and press the "just do it" button...Do it, and do it well with love and hope and service and joy...

ANGER.... Something we carry around inside of us for weeks, months, years... Do you know how when certain subject matter comes up...your whole body reacts to it?? Whether you want it to or not?? You start talking louder, you get more animated, something twists in your gut?? That's "old moldy anger" that you have not let go of... People in my life have hurt me or damaged me in some way. Some have hurt my family members. When I revisit the subject matter I get PISSED OFF all over again. Then what happens to that anger that has resurfaced??? It sits there hiding, waiting, for some poor innocent to say the wrong thing and then BAM..that person is the recipient of your "old moldy" anger... What to do...how do I give my anger away every day, so that some poor unsuspecting soul is not the recipient of my crap??? Walk....breathe...pray...meditate...breathe the earths clean air into my nostrils and deep into my lungs and breathe out frustration, anger, pain, sadness..and insecurity...breathe it back into mother earth...she will take ALL of the anger we can muster...we can scream, pound the earth, run or walk off the anger...earth can take the beating and turn it into beauty...she takes our carbon dioxide and turns it into "new life" new breath...a new day...with NO anger...deliver whatever you have into her waiting arms and she will gladly take it from you...Where else has there EVER been someone to "gladly" take your anger from you??

Warrior Heart Journey 8-11-12

Interesting day really. I think I started this journey before today. I met Bill's wife Robin about a month ago and my encounter with her (and Mercedes) flipped a switch in my life, it forever altered my path. Right now I will call it an "awareness" of not only my authentic behaviors, but also those behaviors that need to fall in line behind what I say and what I believe. I "believe" many things, I intellectually "know" the path that leads to joy...but then I often times (far too often) choose the path that is in direct conflict with my desires for myself...What the fuck is that? Right??? I think I can go deeper in these teachings, they are ancient, real, and they fall directly in-line with what I have always believed to be true...that LOVE can be the answer to many of lifes negative paths, that with enough love in your heart you can move mountains. That each one of us holds a special "key" that no one else holds. That being the very best that we can be is all we have and that we have to make it count...
