Day 417...Year 2

No one ever knows how they are going to be remembered, all we can do is hope for the best...
   - The Doctor

When I heard this quote tonight it really hit a chord for in me... What kind of memories am I leaving behind for others??? What am I going to be remembered for?

I could sit here and name off things but then they are only words... I want to leave a legacy of actions that others can follow... So I need to lead by example...

As I have experienced through my last 5 years at my amazing job, the one thing I have learned is that you can't sit around and wait for someone else to make the change that you want to see... You have to get up and do it yourself and don't complain about it, because it was your choice to lead others towards that change... Also, part of being a part of change is also knowing that some things can't be changed... Maybe never or maybe just not now, but you have to be patient to see what can be done...

You have to be ready to give an answer as to why you want that change to happen and what benefits will come from it and then, don't skip corners...

In the end after all the changes have been made, realize there just might be someone coming up that may see an even better way for things to work and be gracious to except that change could come again...

So, be the person you want people to remember you as... Leave your mark on the world by making it better, happier and a more beautiful place...

Love, peace and how will you be remembered...

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

Day 159 of 366

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
