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!

Lucky and Blessed

Tonight, the world lost an amazing musician and human - Clarence Clemmons. 

I am so lucky and blessed to have seen him live performing with the E Street Band - not once, but five times!   Going to those concerts were costly and sometimes inconvenient.  But I am so glad I did - especially tonight knowing that there will never again be another concert in which he will play.

Tonight was an excellent reminder to take advantage of all opportunities, all chances, all moments to do things, see things, experience things - no matter what.  Someday when those opportunities are over, you will have no regrets.  You will have tremedous memories of the incredible experiences that you had.

Lucky and blessed - I am and hope all are.

Carpe Diem - and so it is...

Sometimes...

Sometimes - its just simplicity of just spending time:
  • Waking up and listening to the distant thunder
  • A great cup of coffee
  • A call from a friend to share the news of the day
  • Hanging out watching a movie
Nothing epic.  Just spending time...which is often epic enough...

Carpe Diem, and so it is...
