2012 Outside of the Box
First and foremost, all Glory and Honor to God for without Him nothing is possible. I’m so highly favored and blessed. Phew…Where to begin. 2012 has been a remarkable year. Oh, the places I’ve been. The people I’ve seen. I’ve met lots and lots of people. I’ve been the guest speaker at many places. I’ve […]

The better part of my life
I’m always in a reflective state, but particularly so as 2012 comes to an end. Losing 170 pounds isn’t easy and it didn’t come without reflection. I blog about it all the time — taking onus, accepting responsibility for oneself, and making a commitment to yourself. By now, you have heard some version or another […]

MOPS: Steps OUTSIDE of the Box
One of the reasons I love what I do is that I empower people to make changes. I empower them to step Outside of the Box. Last Thursday, I did it again! I was invited to be the guest speaker at Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) group. There were nearly 60 women. A golden opportunity. Lots […]
I apologize
Dear Body, If only I would have cherished you long ago, but instead I abused you and took advantage of you. For years, I ate all the wrong food. Not once did I think of how the food I ate affected you and your ability to perform. It was very typical of me to eat […]
A win, win
Seriously! I’ve said it time and time again — I love what I do! Every day I’m reminded how my cooking classes and presentations, cookbooks, blogging, and speaking events touch others lives. It’s the greatest reward to do what you love and positively impact others too. As my friend Rebecca says, “It’s a win, win.” […]
