Thanks Shari,

This is exactly what I needed to hear 6 months into my journey.  Things are not as "easy" as they used to be and I am finding myself questioning whether or not I can do this.  Yes, this message was right on time for me.  Thanks :-)

 Oh Shari,

How powerful, and how filled with truth.  I gotta admit, I was having an Obama-like flash back to the "Yes we can" speech.  I got goose bumps all over reading it... literally.

Yes Ma'am, I can do hard things too!  I will be repeating that to myself Monday morning as they're putting me to sleep... sort of like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.  " I CAN do hard things."  "I CAN do hard things."  "I CAN do hard things."

With great warmth and thankfulness,
Kim
 Forever cheerful in the face of rueful odds....

I haven't been posting much because we are in the midst of trying to buy a house and renting ours and getting the kids ready for back to school and, and, and, and...

It is hard. And my eating and water and vitamins have been SUCKING. And after reading your post I am going to give myself a nice big kick in the pants for being a sissy and I'm going to suck it up and get 'er done. Life can be hard. Do I want to give up on it because of that? Hell no--I did that for 38 years!

Thank you my insightful, witty, sarcastic, wonderfully successful friend!

All the best to everyone who is reaching for their brass ring, but I'm getting it first!! LOL!
