Progress, not perfection.





So are you. Still a struggle to remember at times, but it is never less true - even when I forget.

Where Does Your Path Lead?

Direction - not intention determines destination.

Also do not underestimate the power of positive support. Since you're on Spark People you're already in reach of at least one of the ingredients needed for success.

Also do not underestimate the power of positive support. Since you're on Spark People you're already in reach of at least one of the ingredients needed for success.
I would also recccommend a seat belt! When you decide to live the healthy lifestyle, you might come upon some twists and turns you werent expecting. Hold on to the principles you have learned, and keep on taking one step forward. One step ahead of where you were before - and that's progress! That's what you want to do, where you want to be - progressing!

Slowly moving, still beats not moving at all. Don't lose hope.

Very best wishes for your new Sparked Life!

Live my life with Jesus leading me

Stop doubting myself

Underdtand that you dont have to be ultrauberfitnesspersonandIwantyoutoknow it! in order to reach your goals. You can do that quietly - determination also whispers :-)

Kindle Book by 12/13

Move out of the way. Let God do His job



My Program:
Almost vegetarian but not quite - Im flexitarian!

Walk at least 15 minutes a day.

I would love to have my bike back, but it triggers my spasticity, so Ill need to find another activity.

Pray. Study. Continue Developing a personal relationship with God.

Believe that I am worth the healthy changes in my life.

Not focusing on the scale and achievement as much on how Im physically and mentally feeling.




Personal Information:
I am the sparker formerly known as RELUCTANTWRITER. One of the daily spark's entries inspired me to change my name to something a bit more postive!

I have 2 auto immune illnesses and a great big helping of fear.
It's a good thing I have even bigger helpings of grace, courage and hope!

I take an injection every other day to help slow the progression of my MS. Never thought I could do it, but God's grace has allowed me to for the past 7 years now.

I love tea! Love, love, love tea!

Other Information:
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."
Mary Anne Radmacher

Inspired to always do my best - "When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another." Helen Keller

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I wouldn't be too happy if a doctor was concerned about whether I was married or not. Not everyone is or will be married. He should learn to accept that. His advice..WOW. That's all I can say.
If he wanted to advise people about relationships, he should have been therapist or a pastor. Not a doctor. emoticon

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I have lost a lot of ground but am getting back into the swing of things. Life is good, just extremely busy. I have to remind myself that no matter how busy there's no reason not to make time for healthy me. How are you?

Thanks for the comment on my blog. I agree. I hope your book is coming along well. I love writing too and though I have never tried to publish anything (yet anyway) I know it's a long process and a tough road.
