Beginning Today

Welcome to my Spark Page!
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so.
I am Nora (not my real name) my spark buddies gave me that name and I have grown to love it. I am tired of being fluffy (my church sisters
don't say fat) and unhealthy. I have been battling with my weight for six looooong years.....that is how it seems. I would lose the weight and gain it all back. ...
Welcome to my Spark Page!
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so.
I am Nora (not my real name) my spark buddies gave me that name and I have grown to love it. I am tired of being fluffy (my church sisters
don't say fat) and unhealthy. I have been battling with my weight for six looooong years.....that is how it seems. I would lose the weight and gain it all back. Three years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes then my BP went sky high and my cholesterol...one thing after another, not forgetting menopause. Negative thoughts started to creep in and I began to judge and condemn myself. When I looked into the mirror I was seeing a body I didn't recognise. I panic! A person always in control...here I was slipping, losing control and hating myself
I sought help but all I received was discouragement, I was a failure!!
FAILURE- NO - it is just a temporary set back, a delay, it is not DEFEAT
not a dead end. It was then I became determined to get this under control before it killed me. I didn't know how I was going to achieve this but I certainly know that there is a way to achieve anything I set my mind to. If I don't find a way...I'll create it. I wanted to live and maintain this sacred body God gave to me. I prayed! Then i found S/P Site by accident. Boy! Am I glad I stopped to investigate this wonderful site. Never thought I would be a part f something like this. I thought...Life doesn't provide warranties and guarantees. It just provides, opportunities and possibilities. Grab it! You won't lose anything. it's free! Prayers answered!! Yes. The Lord didn't only give me what I asked for but also the opportunity of meeting people who were of like mind and situations and there is also a Christian Team. Great!
Here I found a place to maintain consistent vigil for new and powerful ways to change the shape of my body while promoting life long health
and wellness.
Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today!!!

Dropping by to say hi and wish you a Happy and Blessed New Year...

Hope you enjoy the following Acrostic I wrote on what my Spark Friend's mean to me...

S-special
P-persistent
A-accepting
R-ready
K-kind

Special: I have discovered that my Spark Buddies are a special people who are there for you.

Persistent: The Spark-People here are a resilient people who are persistent, they keep on keeping on, and they are persistent and work at reaching their goals.

Accepting: My Spark-Buddies are so accepting, they accept me and others for who they are and not for whom they would like the person to become.

Ready: Spark-Buddies are always ready with an encouraging word & always ready to share a smile, to share some Spark around...

Kind: In the 2 years I've been a member of SP I have experienced the kindness of my Spark-Buddies; they always have a kind word, a word that will build up rather than tear down.

In closing I hope this simple acrostic on what a Spark Friend means to me has encouraged and blessed you. Have a great week. Keep on Keeping On. Share some Spark around, be a blessing to someone this week...
