Something Greater Than Myself.....

Oct 26, 2009

Hello Everyone I hope this post is finding everyone in good health and spirit. I want to begin by saying, when I started on this journey initially I thought it was all about me and me achieving my goals of losing weight and trying to forge a better life and future for myself. I have grown to realize this is a journey of hope, a journey of change, a journey of love and a journey of strength and courage. It honestly takes strength and courage to break free from a past that you grew up believing was the truth and the only way of living. It takes strength to stand alone in the midst of family members, co-workers and society and say to them, "The way I was living was polluted, dangerous and killing me!" Often times throughout this journey there will be times when you must stand alone and stand firm. Everyday I thank God for allowing me another opportunity to live and be FREE. I often joke to myself that " I have aged backwards..." but God is so good and I want to encourage everyone to stand strong and stand firm no matter what anyone says about you. I am humbled, thankful and grateful for the beautiful words and compliments from everyone who replies to the posts and send friend requests or messages. I love you all  truly....
Happy Holidays!
