starting over

I really am starting over this year. The past couple of years have been pretty rough for me. I am on medical leave from my very stressful job. I am a Supervising Children's Social Worker for LA County!!!!!!Need I say more. It has been a tough road, however this year is the year of new beginnings for me. I am taking make control of my life. I need to lose the weight that I have been carrying around for over "20" years...... I want to encourage everyone to remember that no matter what ...
I really am starting over this year. The past couple of years have been pretty rough for me. I am on medical leave from my very stressful job. I am a Supervising Children's Social Worker for LA County!!!!!!Need I say more. It has been a tough road, however this year is the year of new beginnings for me. I am taking make control of my life. I need to lose the weight that I have been carrying around for over "20" years...... I want to encourage everyone to remember that no matter what happens in life, God got your back!!!! It might sound strange, but he actually led me to this website.....I was looking for a fun walk for some of my friends and this website popped up. The steps of a righteous man(woman) are ordered......Let's do this together. One step at a time no matter how long it takes we are all going to end a lot healthier than we were when we started this journey!!!!! May the force be with u!!!!!!!


UPDATE I AM RETIRED. I AM FREE AT LAST. THANK GOD I AM FREE


GOD IS GOOD ALL OF THE TIME.

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!
by: Donna Levine

There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be;
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
Doing what you want to do,
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
Hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of,
Doing what you wanted to do,
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream.

emoticon Hi again!
You know me; I've been reading again... emoticon
I just read that a spoonful of cooked black rice packs the same amount of anthocyanins as a spoonful of fresh blueberries, but with less sugar and more fiber and vitamin E. I'm not sure that rice is a fruit substitute in that case though; I'll have to give that some food for thought!
emoticon I'm waiting impatiently for the spring sunshine to come; emoticon I know it's out there somewhere, it just hasn't broke through our continual thick cloud cover yet.

I hope you are getting some nice weather where you are! Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

I just read a cure for bad Mondays!

It said that when you're feeling groggy or foggy to sniff ground
sage for an energy boost. Research showed that sage aroma
suppresses the enzyme acetylcholinesterase that prevents the
brain's ability to feel alert and happy! Not only that, but aromatherapy
experts say sage can improve mental focus AND memory!

My personal suggestion is...fresh ground or a good brand of coarse
ground sage. The cheap stuff is very offensive to my nose.

Have a great week and remember to stay focused!
