I'm "Unrecognizable" ....

So, apparently I'm "unrecognizable!" Someone I know quite well and have seen often (though it's been a month or so since we last crossed paths) walked right past me, looked right at me and didn't recognize me. When I said hello her response was, Wow! That's crazy! #transformation I'm feeling... amazed.

2013 Real Women Real Talk Round Table,

Yesterday, I was a panelist on the 2013 Real Women Real Talk Round Table, sharing my health/wellness journey. Empowering others to take control of their health. This is becoming quite a phenomenal journey.

How Bad Do You Want It?!

Often times when that alarm clock wakes me at 4:30am I pause for just a moment, OK, I admit it I often hit the snooze button! It is tempting to stay in the bed just a little longer, especially when my body temperature is perfect and the pillows are just right, or it’s raining or cold or too hot or... well, you get the hint!

Whenever these moments strike....that's when I stop and ask myself one very important question...

How Bad Do You Want It? 

It’s the shortest pep talk in the world! 

No matter what your goal, dream or passion is, if you find that you are in a state of hesitation; if you wake up in the morning and find yourself thinking today is the day you want to give up, ask yourself... 

How Bad Do You Want It?


On this particular morning, it took me 9 minutes to answer this question and make the decision to get out of bed!

My personal pep talk went something like this:

How bad do you want it Christine?
Pretty darn bad!
Do you want it more than sleep?
Dam straight!
What do you want?
I want to live fully!
I want to be healthy!
I want to be happy!
I want to be whole!
How bad do you want it?
I want it so much I am willing to sacrifice sleep, wake up before dawn, and go out in the !@&#$%^ rain to make it happen!

How Bad Do You Want It?

I'm In Charge... And So Are You!

Well, I'm having a rough week, but I keep it moving because.... well, I’m the one in charge here!

I'm not my normally bubbly self in this video... was not feeling all that great, not every day is a high energy bubbly day. You would think I would avoid posting a video when I'm feeling bad; on the contrary, this was the perfect day to post a video.

The message for today: Push past the overwhelming desire to give in and give up! You can do it! Don't give up!  I'm rooting for you!!

For my full story, my journey and the medical diagnosis that started it all... read the post "Call it what you want... I call it a blessing"

Life: Don't miss it!
Time: Don't waste it! 

Thanks for visiting, thanks for listening and thank you for supporting this journey. XO -- Christine
