About Me

My photo
I lost 103 pounds without surgery, and there was great rejoicing! However - over the last year and a half, life got in the way. Between serious bouts of fibromyalgia and debilitating migraines, I gained some weight, and found myself feeling dumpy, frumpy, and most definately in a slump. 2012 is over and the time has come to dump that frump slump, release the excess weight, change my attitude, and be and feel fabulous! This journey is about more than just weight loss. It is about facing and releasing all things that hold us back from living life to the fullest each and every day. Make the most of what you have, and live a "seize the moment" lifestyle. Join me on my journey, and dump your own slumps - whatever they may be. Welcome to Fabulous!

Monday Monday

Monday Morning:

Raining, thunderstorms, delays, not enough sleep, too much to do, not enough time to do it, frustration, irritation...

Sound familiar?

And yet - when you need it most, the miracle happens...

A total stranger turned to me while waiting in line for Starbucks.  He seemed grouchy as well, and yet, he said something incredibly complimentary and kind to me.  It was just lovely, unexpected, and lifted my spirit from grumpy to pleased and almost giddy.

That moment of kindness, and being able to receive the gift of that compliment took me from irritation at the rain and the delays to being in awe of the thunderstorm and looking forward to having a chance to watch it in action.

It only takes a moment...

Carpe Diem - and may everyone have such a lovely moment today and everyday!
