    If you take the time to think about what you want in life…
    Get to know yourself
    Find out who you are
    Choose your goals carefully
    Be honest with yourself
    Don’t become preoccupied with yourself
    Or think about yourself so much that you analyze every word and action
    Find many interests and pursue them
    Find out what is important to you

    I am 181.4 pounds. That feels good to say.
    Thanks to my recent week-long hiking trip, not great food on the trip, and continuing to exercise upon return, I've lost about 5 pounds in about 10 days. Ahh. Now, in the scheme of things, I have a ways to go, but it's a start.
    I feel like I've only recently entered the age of the frustrated weight-loss adult...for so many years, I could more o...

    Friday, March 21, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    You have the right to seek a happy life, even if no one else in your family understands what you a...

  • Write it and Let it go.

    Tuesday, April 29, 2008

    I sent this message out to everyone on my list before I began my weekend.
    Smell a beautiful flower, smile at a stranger, lift your face to the sun, blow a kiss to the moon...
    and I added this to my journal
    This weekend I will,
    be creative, get things done,
    have fun, realise a future, stay happy.
    I had forgotten what a powerful thing writing that can be.
    So powerful that I am inspired to share wha...

  • Remembering what love is.....

    Wednesday, August 6, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    You may have read similar things, but it's worth reading again. These are so precious some of them just bring tears to my eyes!

    I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.

    I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now.  When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital.  I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share.  Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery....
