Losing Weight

(Original fiction)

Ah…it feels good to get rid of my extra weight, the best feeling I’ve had in years. I can do a lot more with my life since I don’t have all that weight. How did I do it? Well, let me tell you, it wasn’t easy but after I made the decision, I worked hard and stuck with my commitment. After living with the extra weight for so long, I didn’t think I could ever get rid of my two-timing, low-down, no-good cheating ex-husband. Thank God he’s no longer in my life. Two hundred pounds, gone, like that.

Don’t Sleep….Keep Dreaming

When you ask children what they want to be when they get older, they usually have lots of answers, anywhere from an astronaut to a teacher. As they grow we encourage them to live their dreams. In comparison, ask an adult what they want to do with the rest of their life and the responses can be limited.  As adults, have we lost the spark that tends to ignite our dreams? Has our imagination become so tainted that we can’t see the endless possibilities? There is so much beauty and many treasures on earth, that have yet to be discovered through our dreams. Some dreams we’re born with and others find their way to our hearts. Our dreams are there to give us hope…purpose and joy. We have slept long enough, it’s time to move from our slumber and go after those dreams that are waiting for us.

Casually speaking and all the best,
