We found the neatest book for Sunshine some months ago. It’s a picture book by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer called Incredible You! 10 ways to let your GREATNESS shine through. It’s fantastic. It’s a pint-sized, colorfully illustrated, explanatory list of positive methods for dealing with life. Based on our conversations with him, I […]

Actually, I started feeling better last night. I’m still very concerned about the little bird, but I did some things to make me feel better, and it worked! Here’s what I did.
First, I tried playing a video game. But it was one that I was relatively unfamiliar with, and I wasn’t having any […]

The most amazing thing happened a few days ago, but I’ve been up to my eyeballs in work this past while, so I’m just now getting around to telling you about it.  Still, I *must* tell you about it. 

So, as you know, my laptop took a major dive just after my son’s birthday. […]

No, I don’t mean my age.
Though, coincidentally, that is my age.
Guess what guess what guess what!! (I’m so excited!)
As of this morning, I have lost more than forty pounds! (40.4 to be precise.)
Yahooooooooooo!

My pseudo-fast was a success!
I successfully kept my calories under 1000 yesterday, and I think it accomplished what I was after.  Today, I ate less and was satisfied earlier than before.  It feels good to have jumped that hurdle, because I wasn’t sure that I could.  I think I’ll do it again soon.  (I’ll incorporate […]

I mentioned before that we had out-of-state company this past week. What I may not have mentioned was that I was really a little concerned that our eating habits during that time would have a negative affect. (I drank alcohol and ate out a lot.) But it turns out that watching my portions had […]

Prologue: It’s good news.
Now, on to today’s post….
Yesterday was one heck of a long day. It was mostly a day of waiting. We left for Town at ten in the morning, and got back home at almost ten at night. It seemed that everywhere we went, there was a hurry-up-and-wait situation. […]

I’ve been asked by several people how I’ve been doing since my last post on the subject of my mood, and I’m happy to say that there has been a marked improvement. I’m not at the “top of my game” so to speak, but I’m feeling definite improvements.
Probably the single-most important contributor […]

I am very excited to announce that, thanks to my very good friend, Karoline Crawshaw* - translator extraordinaire - the Joy Immersion Project, its explanation, and the first assignment are now available on this site in German! This took an enormous amount of work on the part of a woman who doesn’t have much […]

I reached 250 pounds today! That’s a total of 22 pounds lost so far. The best part is I am now within the weight limits to use the trampoline I got for Christmas. To make matters even better, I am actually teetering at 249.8 pounds. That means I am closer to […]
