welcome to our team kate! it's good to have you here.
good luck with your weightloss and plans for healthy living.
let's all remember that we don't have to "give up" something for lent as much as offer something of ourselves. whatever choice we make, we need to remember our reasons for our sacrifices or offerings.
we are supposed to think of the great sacrifice Jesus made in offering His life for our salvation and be ready to rejoice at the Resurrection!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Let It Go

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace.
Eckhart Tolle

always move forward toward peace and light. let go of bitterness and negativity-these hold back your progress in life.
when you see these traits in others-know the wisdom hasn't come to them yet and be ever mindful of your own journey.

Failure is giving up what we want most for what we want now.

After a lot of thought & consideration, I am taking this opportunity to not consume wheat/glueten or anything with sugar added to it.

It may seem like a drastic thing to do, but I really wan tto make the most of this time.

In the grand scheme of things, this is really not even a sacrifice. A sacrifice is something you do not want to give up in order for greater gain. I do want to give these things up because I know they are not needed for my overall health and goals.

i posted somewhere in here about how fast lent is approaching. i know i have the same troubles as always so i will be working on patience and forbearance when dealing with my husband.
more achievable sacrifices such as giving up sugar are a possibility.
guess i have some thinking to do.
peace, fran
