William of St. Theirry inspired me to focus on being “totally present to myself and making total use of myself and whose image I am so that I can discern and understand what I am and what I can do in whose image I am.” I am working on being in the present- mindful of more than is visible.

Well, this is it. I used to be a thin shapely athlete. Now, well, I just don’t know what happened! I think the combination of medical issues and lazy blew up in my face- well blew up all over really- at least it’s not all in one place. I have to do this and I am. Tomorrow is the day. I know why start on Friday? Tomorrow I start a weight loss management program through our local hospital. It is diet and exercise. I will go in for blood work tomorrow, they will write me an individualized diet and a personal work out plan. My part is sticking to it. I’ll blog here – my progress and my pain.
I have worked on this book for years now. It’s almost finished.
I think in ways the book was my personal therapy. Now, I have to find time to work on getting a publisher. I’ve published poetry and articles but never a book. It’s new for me. Because of the content and my profession, I may publish it under a pen name which I will also have to research.
I’m ready though, finally. I’m going to do it.
