I know this is not my weight loss blog...but I made this video because its really important to me. Fitness and healthy eating are my hobby...I find TONS of joy in involving my self in those things and I have a heart for those who have been through what I have been through and I just want to help. I figured if anyone follows this blog that may need to hear my words then I cant loose for posting it here.

I regret nothing....
This picture is of me in 2009. I am holding my newborn son and I am about to say good bye to him as his mom and dad take him home to Michigan. He is my fifth born son and I had chose not to parent him. Life had gotten the best of me and I could no longer control it. I weighed 319 pounds and I was a single mom to four other small children. The pain I felt in this moment was unbearable. My chin was quivering and I was trying to keep myself from falling apart. I kept looking at his feet and rubbing his legs...they were so perfect.
One memory I have in this moment was being very thankful to the couple I had chosen to parent my son. By giving them my sweet boy meant a great burden was taken from me. My life was falling in around me and I didn't want my new son to be sucked into it. I was grateful he wouldn't have to be part of my dysfunction.
Its hard to look back and remember these things but I am grateful to have the memories and the pictures. It shows me how far I have come. Its is seriously by Gods grace that I have any life at all.
I regret nothing as long as I have learned from it.
I regret nothing as long as I can help others with what I have learned.

Those Moments...
Do you ever have those moments where you catch yourself daydreaming....staring out into space and then all of a sudden you sigh and say to yourself "time to get back to reality."
Ive been doing that so much lately. Maybe its because Im almost forty...or maybe because Im tired. Im not really sure but It has made me think a lot. Its really hard for me to put into words my thoughts and feelings lately. I have so many blog posts started....saved...and never published. Every time I sit and try to write it sounds stupid and it doesn't flow right. I'm trying to figure out what is off balance in me or my life. I hope I can get rid of this writers block soon.
My Grandma died a few days ago. This was my Grandma on my dads side. The newest great grand children lovingly called her GiGi but to me she was always Grandma. I spent many summers with her growing up. I remember her always being loving and she always encouraged us to stay close to the Lord and to always aim for Heaven. In her later years, every chance she could get to encourage us to stay in church she could. Her faith was her main priority. She loved her kids, and her grand kids and I think she took a special liking to all her many many great grandchildren. From what I can come up with I am quite certain that she had at least 18 great grandchildren, and this included any great grandchildren that she obtained through adoption or marriage including my birth sons new brothers and sisters. She knew all there names and birthdays and she would send them hand made birthday cards every year there birthdays would come around. She died peacefully early Sunday morning. Even though we were all expecting it, as she had recently been moved to hospice, it was still extremely sad and we were all moved with emotion at the loss we felt.
My daydreaming often falls to memories of Grandma and the time she gave to all of us and I wonder if we all gave back to her the way she gave to us? I find myself feeling so guilty and sad that I didnt take the time to love her enough or show her how I cared. She lived far away but even her distance didnt stop her from loving on others.
Lately, I have been struggling with a lot of guilt over things I have failed to do with loved ones in the past, including my children. I long for the day when I can let go of those feelings I feel of loss and guilt over the things I should have done better to show my love towards others and move on to more productive things. I have so many around me now that could use my love and attention and I think......no I KNOW I am capable of so much more than I was before.
One of my goals this year is to practice love...to reach out to those I love more and let them know how important they are to me and to try (this will be a work in progress) to let go of the things I can not change from the past. The past is gone....time to build a new future.
