You have to really really want it

What did you think about last week’s blog? My husband was concerned that I may have discouraged you from working with me.

Please love yourself today, no matter what.

I went swimsuit shopping yesterday. At my thinnest, I don’t look good in a swimsuit. And I’m not at my thinnest right now. So there I was, me and me, in a tiny change room with a full length mirror, lots of swimsuits, my big wobbly legs and my dimply sticky-outy butt. And I didn’t […]

Learn how NOT to overindulge when everyone else is

How you doing with the Halloween candy? It never ends, does it? The opportunities to overindulge. Halloween candy is all over my house (my girls are so cute – first they have a serious trading session with their friends, then they sort, bag  and label their candy, eat a few for a few days, and […]

Just Because Someone Else Is Beautiful, Doesn’t Mean You Aren’t

Today’s message is a bit different from my usual topics.  I was asked to write an article for YourTango, and I want to share it with you because I think it’s a topic we women sometimes struggle with. It was challenging because I usually write about what’s inspiring me, and this time I had to […]
