This is my GULP for the day -- doing something out of my comfort zone.

Today, that's sharing some of my warts. This article really spoke to me. Although I didn't/don't have an eating disorder, I have often felt 'less than' and unsure of myself.

At 51, I'm figuring out my passions and strengths. There are days when I don't feel like I'm good at anything, that I haven't cultivated a talent or honed a specific skill.

Beachbody is helping change that / me with the supportive community, products I love, and the opportunity to combine my interests in food, nutrition exercise and writing to make a difference in the lives of others.

I've spent too much time comparing myself to others -- what's the quote? "Comparison is the thief of joy." So, the action steps in this article were helpful.

I hope you find them so too.

Well, hello!  Fancy me posting here, since it's been ages!

Has anyone else been in a funk? With a son who's a high school junior, I'm working on who I want to be when I grow up!!!

Who else is there too? Knowing you're meant for something wonderful, but not exactly sure what that is?

Have you seen The Shift? It's a movie the late Dr. Wayne Dyer was part of in 2008 -- a friend shared it with me over the weekend, and I'm ordering my own copy. I want my family to watch it, and I think it's something I want to watch repeatedly since I seem to need numerous repetitions for something to stick.

So many wonderful takeaways, which is why I want to see it again. Here are a few quotes from Dr. Dyer:

"There's a deep need within us that wants to feel fulfilled, to know my life as made a difference."

"To know I left this place better, that someone's life has been profoundly touched because of my existence. We all want that."

"At any age you're only a thought away from changing your life. Don't go with your soul still inside you."

A thought away . . . now, my challenge, to stick with just one thought!!! "Squirrel!"

I really hope you check out The Shift and that it gives you the nudge you need if you're wanting to make a change in your life.

With love . . .
