A New Chapter Begins
I have not blogged in nearly six months. So much has happened. To sum it up in two words...I'm engaged!! I reunited with an old classmate over the Thanksgiving holiday and low and behold...he turned out to be the one who makes my heart smile, makes me feel young again, and loves me for everythin...

Tell Another Lie
I haven't written for several months and I apologize to my readers for that. With everything I have been going through since filing for my divorce, things have been a little (ok...you got me...a lot) crazy but life is finally beginning to settle down and I can see the light again. In a very quic...

Week in Review in Pictures
This has been one crazy week for me. I can best sum it up in pictures... I reached my major weight loss goal this week and I celebrated with a few purchases. A new dress, some new bling jeans, and a new pair of cowboy boots. I then decided that I needed to learn how to protect myself. I figu...

Thank you, Chris. I appreciate your kind words. We all go through trials in our lives and I do not hold anything against you or anyone else in our old neighborhood, including the person who said those five little words "if only she were thinner". Our decisions make us who we are today and I just happened to take the longer route in learning...but I eventually learned my self worth and i will not ever allow myself to be put in such terrible circumstances again.

Spreading My Wings...Part II
I got a call from my brother this morning and the first word out of his mouth was "Congratulations". I had just posted on Facebook that I was only four pounds away from reaching my weight loss goal and was about to begin body building so I assumed his call was in response to my post but I couldn...

Thank you Mayra. I appreciate your friendship very much. You are a strong woman yourself and I know you will overcome everything and anything that God puts forth.

Spreading My Wings...Part I
It is amazing the tolerances we allow ourselves to have when our self-esteem is low and/or null. Over the years, with those five little words echoing in my head, I have allowed myself to be taken advantage of, walked on, stabbed in the back, cheated on, lied to, and humiliated all because I thou...
Thank you Becky. My goal is to lose 6 more pounds but I may increase it to 26. You look amazing yourself!!
