Day 1 of 91

09 01 09

91 blog posts in 91 days…

This brilliant idea came from my student Leah, who happens to live on the Gold Coast of Australia.

Leah wrote me half way through my 31 day daily Immersion calls in August 2009 and shared that she would like to continue on with the daily accountability beyond August so that she would keep herself on track leading into the holiday season. She wanted to work through my 12 week course, Loving What You See In the Mirror and asked how would I feel is she did a public blog journeying her adventure through Body Image Mastery?”.

I thought it was a great idea and suggested that we do it together and see where it takes us. She happily agreed to that.

So here we are on Day 1 of 91 ready to explore, learn, grow, cry, leap, jump, share, care, support, help,  and adventure from below and above the equator. Our hope and intention is that there will be something in all of this writing and sharing for you to learn from.

The Gold Coast Down Under Meets The West Coast of America”. Mastering the inner game of weight loss…and learning to love your (our) bodies, one Pinky step at a time. Pinky’s and hearts connected. We are ONE, no matter where we live on this great planet. Cultural differences, for example, I would not go near Vegemite, however, our hearts meet and that is really all that matters.  We are all connected by our heart beats.

One of the many things I did when I got abstinent in OA and sober in AA 22  years ago was do what my sponsor at the time suggested. She said, Laura, you must do ninety meetings in 90 days…

At the time, I was eager and willing to do anything I could to stay sober and change my life around with food, compulsive overeating and the real issue which was deep self loathing. I felt I could not do anything right and all attempts to change my life were met with me failing…so “no matter what” I was determined to take this challenge on and do 90 meetings in 90 days.

Guess what?

I did.

Again and again.

And it did change my life way back then and today my life is way beyond my wildest dreams. So here I sit 22 (plus) years later supporting my students  all over the world, supporting them to love themselves through their process. Leah will document her journey publically and this is like giving birth, SO EXCITING AND SO MYSTERIOUS.

I am honored, I am blessed and go check her out at www.nodietingallowed.com

…and keep coming to visit me here at www.OnePinky.com.

My community is a gift and the women in my community warm my heart and nourish my soul.

Thank you Pinky’s!

I am glad I get to walk the earth at the same time as you all.

XO, Laura
