I have been so blessed to meet many of my Pinky’s, women of Body Image Mastery and OnePinky.com.

And meeting Leslie Lewis Sword, avid student of OnePinky.com, was a total gift.

Tomorrow, I get to meet Gina who is doing her 102 day blog challenge here on the site.   I am thrilled to meet her and I really look forward to it.

I look forward to meeting all of you at some point and many of us will meet.

Please watch what Leslie and I have to share and enjoy!

Much Love, XO

P.S. A Loving Prayer that someone gave me years ago and the author is unknown. I adjusted a few things as the original prayer was too much about  hell and damnation, things I do not relate to nor teach.

Dear God,

Please help me to develop an interest in nutritionist and what my body needs to function beautifully for your glory. I choose to be wise in my eating habits and I choose your wisdom in the foods I put into my body.

I renounce my old habits of eating too much of one food to the exclusion of another. I renounce skipping meals and then binging at the next one. I renounce being ignorant about nutrition and how I eat. I renounce laziness and irresponsibility in food preparation. I renounce buying foods through lust and greed rather than in wisdom and understanding. I renounce stubbornness and rebellion against your divine plan for my nutrition and health. I renounce foods that are harmful for my body.

I love my body and take loving care of it and appreciate all the support that the universe has to offer me which is limitless.
I am conscious of what I eat, which is nutritious, healthy and loving for my body.

Amen

Happy New Year!

2010 is going to be a powerful year.

I feel it, I sense it and I own it.

A gift to you all to create a practice before each meal in this New Year.

I think it is a delightful way to start 2010.

With a loving practice for your mealtime.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Recite before each meal.

This food is a gift from the entire universe.

The land, the sky, the ocean and the work of many people.

May I be the presence that deserves to receive this.

May I learn the right way of eating.

May I receive energy and be protected from illness.

May I walk the path of wisdom and love.

When I eat may I not forget the people who are now suffering from hunger in the world.

In this food, I see the presence of the entire universe supporting me.

-Mayumi Oda

And I offer you this from my heart for 2010.

May you be a guiding light for yourself and others who need protection and love.

May you be a ship to help others cross their ocean.

May you be a bridge for those who cannot find their way.

May you be the natural born  leader you are.

May you be love and live love and be the light you already are.

I Love You, XO

Laura

The beautiful thing about Life is we have memories…

Memories are ours for life.  We get to keep them and treasure them and bathe in them.

I have so many beautiful changes and transformations that have taken place over these last 3 months, and if it were not for Leah putting out the challenge…

Leah put it out there, I asked her if I could jump in with her and the rest is history.

So much has changed, all good, and the best part for me was feeling that stick-to-itness of, NO MATTER WHAT…I still have it in me to do whatever it takes.
I am strong, I am powerful and I can do this. NO EXCUSES.

Thank you Leah for giving me the opportunity to affirm that by partaking in this daily practice and for your contributing to my being a more powerful leader.

One of the best things about this three month for me is that I finally wrote my book proposal and although I did not list it as one of my intentions, I told my agent I would have it to her by the last day of the blog.

I SENT IT TO HER TODAY and I am thrilled.

Yippee!

Fat Ugly Perfect – A New Conversation…

Watch out World. My book is coming.

Another thing I stopped talking about was my challenging class I took a couple of months ago called, “Black Diamond Glutes”.

I loved that class and I made it into the movie, which is on YouTube.

I thought I would complete this chapter with some highlights from my class. Can you find me in the video?

While it is true that I still cannot go down to the ground for 20 push ups, I love feeling stronger and…

I LOVE MY BODY!

I am blessed.

I love you Leah and thank you for your Courage,  Wisdom and Love…

To the readers, keep checking, we are going to continue blogging once a week (at least) and we welcome your feedback and comments always.

Anyone out there want a blog challenge?

You know where to find me.

Love You, XO

Laura
