Happy Father’s Day!
Good evening!
HAPPY FATHER”S DAY!!
My dad is pretty awesome! He has always accepted his Father’s day gifts of ties, handmade ash trays, and who-all knows what else! No matter how old we get, us girls will always be his babies, and it both makes me blush, and proud EVERY time I hear it!!
You know my dad has been very protective of all of us girls for as long as I can remember. I know that when my sweetie and I got together almost 17 years ago, my dad was as protective as ever! Thankfully, my dad and my husband both became friends, and I have a hard time having them NOT rub off on each other when they hang out!! LOL!!! They are so similar, it is sometimes scary!! 😉
I must say that even though my dad and I have not always gotten along, I am so thankful for the relationship that we have grown, and nurtured! He is someone that I am VERY thankful to have in my life, and someone I love more than he will even know!!!
I love you, Daddy!!! Happy Father’s Day!!! 😉
Have a FABULOUS evening!

Fearless!
Good evening!
I thought the word “Fearless” would be an appropriate term for this evening!! I just got done with my belly dancing class, and I am feeling TERRIFIC!!! Tonight was the last class of a three month session, and we are now off for a 3 week span until the next round of classes start. That is a little bummy, but I MUST tell you, that I just CAN NOT BELIEVE that I DID IT!!!
pssst…Let me divulge a HUGE secret to you right now, I am a 320 pound woman, and I am
BELLY DANCING!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!?!?!?!
I still have to pinch myself to make sure that I am ACTUALLY living my life and not just dreaming all of this!
Within the past 3 months, I have found a confidence that I NEVER thought possible, and NOW I REALIZE NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! My momma was right, I CAN do anything I put my mind to, if I am willing to do the work to earn it!! Man, she was ONE SMART COOKIE!! It is too bad that it took me 35 years to learn that she was telling me the ABSOLUTE truth!!
Something happens to me when I am dancing! Time flies, I feel like a child again, and even though I am sweating and starting to get sore, I push through because I am having such a FUN TIME, and for one brief moment, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and say, “WHO IS THAT WOMAN? I WANT TO BE HER!!! and I look again, and realize IT IS ME!!! LOL! 🙂 THAT, my friends, is called GROWTH!!
I think I realize that THE KEY, for me is to find the FUN IN FITNESS!! Dancing, swimming, hula hooping, skating, bike riding! These are the things that I NEED to be doing to get healthy, but not doing them to get healthy, but just for the act of bringing more fun into my life – fitness will come, if I can play in this kind of way!
So, for now, my word is FEARLESS! I can do it! I just have to be FEARLESS to take that first step, EVERY SINGLE DAY!! FEARLESS!! I can do it, and I know that you can too!!!
Something to think about: What is something that you can do to add a little more FUN back into your life???
Have a FABULOUS evening!!
