2013 Will be my year of change.

I have 13 action steps for the year that I hope will help me reach my goal weight by the end of the year.

I will post my rewards as soon as I decide what I want them to be.

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 ...

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 is not just in some of us; it is 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.

a return to love - Marianne Williamson

� Nathaniel Hawthorne

My Spark Name is based on an old fashioned name for butter fly. What would happen if I just let the weight loss land on me? No more struggle, no more worry. I just calmly trust the process. That thought brings peace.

�Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think. "

I am in Richmond, a small town that is part of "Ottawa", the capital of Canada which is located in Ontario. It takes me about an hour to drive to the US border and enter New York State near ... Rochester is probably the closest large city, crossing the St. Lawrence River. It's called a land of 1,000 lakes because we are in the Canadian Shield. Lots of rocks, trees and water, all carved out by glaciers during the ice age. Ottawa is 200 years old but Richmond was settled a few years before that. Much "younger" than Montreal or Toronto. We are on the Quebec/Ontario border so many people are bilingual here. Quebec is across the Ottawa river and many francaphones work in government jobs in the captial. Spectacular fall colours, maple sugar bushes in the spring, hot and humid summers and very cold winters. All the extremes. Ottawa has the world's longest skating rink - the Rideau canal gets flooded for 5 miles to make perfect ice in February for winterlude.

I think friends are a great alternative to sweets. Having tea or walking with my girlfriends is one of my biggest motivators. Most of my BFF's are way to far away. Literally coast to coast with one in Victoria on Vancouver Island... as far west as you can go... and one in Nova Scotia on the east coast. Two are closer but one is 2 hours drive and the other is a good three hours. Then there is a sister in law in Northern BC. Since realizing their importance to my "health" I have made an effort to see at least one of them each year. When possible, all of them in a year. Which... could happen this year. It takes some coordinating but I look forward to it. Fortunately I enjoy my sister and my daughters too. One of my sister in laws who is local is also a good person to get together with. And my hubby... sometimes... is amazing.... although sometimes his company does not fill that void. SP has given me some very special friends. So I am also grateful to this little group. Friends over sugar? Oh yes! emoticon
