I’m doing everything right! I have let go of my past pain, I’ve forgiven myself and others, I’ve created and repeated wonderful affirmations, I’ve surrounded myself with people who I love and love me, I love people without judgment and assume they don’t judge me, I have taken control of my eating and filled my [...]

Never a dull moment! This really is an emotional rolller coaster! When I was younger, I’d hear people say, “at least you have your health.” That never meant anything to me until I no longer had my health! I am determined to get it back! I’m going to exercise doing dance aerobics (to ’80’s music) [...]
