Working on some new things

Yes, indeed I am! I've started a new series of kind of 'artsy' little dolls. I hope to have pics of the first one within the next couple of days. I am also beginning to study the energy of crystals and I am working on my own spirituality as it relates to everything around me. It is very empowering and enlightening and I am enjoying it a lot. Still working on the job stuff and I am also looking into the possibility of financial aid to get some schooling. I am continuing my weight loss and my healthy eating, water drinking, etc., but I had to back way up on the exercise/movement stuff because I've severely strained at least several muscles. Ouchey! One step forward, two steps back as they say.

Hello and happy day to all of you, I have such HUGE news of a personal health-related nature. : ) I saw my doctor today and she is soooo impressed with how I am doing. I asked her if I can drop one of the two doses of Metformin (diabetes medicine) I take per day and she said YES!!!! Woo-hoo!! Take that diabetes! I am soooooo proud of myself. : ) Go, me! Loves,

My Cocoon is Changing....

Hello and Happy Sunday, my friends, This is a little difficult to write. I am going through some life challenges which are hard for me. The challenges have been there for a long time, but a light filled pathway has appeared and it is in the process of opening, growing, enlarging. It is so hard to let go and trust that everything is going to be okay if I DO let go of the illusion of security I have been clinging to for so long. Still that is what I must do in order to grow my wings and fly. All support and encouragement during this difficult time will be gratefully accepted. I also want to tell all of you about a miraculous book I'm revelling in. It is called "Growing Wings" by Kristen Jongen (Young-in). I urge all of my female friends to get it and to absorb it. Love to all, The transforming Cindy

FORTY-FOUR POUNDS GONE!

Hello to all! It's been a while since I've posted. Been busy losing more weight. : ) Hear ye, hear ye!!!! FORTY-FOUR pounds are gone, never to be seen again on this body. Can you believe it? And soon it will be fifty gone. I'm exercising a lot more: active housework and walking primarily. And, believe me things like housework and going to the grocery store, etc. count as exercise! I just went yesterday to get the bloodwork done to check to see if I'm deficient in Vitamin B-12. I'll let you know what the results are. I've been knitting lately. Right now, I'm working on a smallish kitty blanket/front window ledge cover for our front bay window. It's done in a thick rosey purple boucle baby yarn and a multi cream/pale yellow/pale blue/pale coral ombre soft worsted weight yarn. I'm doing garter stitch and it's really pretty and kind of thick and plushey for the cat children to lie on while they sun themselves in the window. :) I'm also working on another knitted kitty blanket that is bigger than the purple-ish one. This one is done in a lime green bulky Lion Brand Homespun yarn combined with a chunky ombre yarn that is jewel tones: brilliant turquoise, matte black, purple, green, royal blue. Need to get pics! I'm reading several books right now: "Rivermarked" by Patricia Briggs, "Spirit Bound" by Christine Feehan, and "The SS Brotherhood of the Bell: The Nazis' Incredible Secret Technology" by Joseph P. Farrell. I'm also re-reading The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel (weight loss and life change). Jon's book is absolutely life-changing. If you don't have it yet, go get it! Jon has a website at www.gabrielmethod.com Love to all, Cindy

Dancin' and Living Joyfully These Days and A LOT Lighter : )

Cindy Update!!! Thirty-seven pounds GONE!!! Soon to be FIFTY. : ) I've also been learning some interesting things of late. One thing I've learned about is the prevalence of vitamin B-12 deficiency, especially in older folks and those who, like me, have diabetes and are taking metformin. I have me bloodwork order to test for vitamin B-12 deficiency and I urge all of you to get tested to check for Vitamin B-12 deficiency.
I'm also reading a great book called "Stop Aging, Start Living", and you don't have to be middle-aged or older to get and read this book and to incorporate at least some of the suggestions into one's daily life.
Let's see, what else...my doctor was really impressed with me when I saw her and I am so thrilled. My A1C was 5.6!! It was 7 when I was diagnosed with diabetes at the beginning of the year. Go me, go me, go me............: )
Oh, also, I colored my hair this past Sunday and it is now a VERY dark brown. NO grey anywhere. : ) I don't know if I've told you that my hair is very long--a little bit past my waist. I'm going this Sat. am to have it at least trimmed and I might get a bit more than that done. Still looking at hairstyles. : )
Well, I'm going to go back to looking at nail polish colors. Man, I am having FUN.
Yeah, I'm SOLID, SOLID as a rock. : ) Song playing on radio. : )

Wonderful Day AND Thirty-THREE pounds GONE!

Yes, indeed! I broke through that plateau! See me dancin'? (BTW, I love to dance, but hubby doesn't want to. : ( ). I had to cut my food/drink intake a bit more to do it, but I did it. : ) Soon I'll have 40 gone. That is going to be a huge achievement.
I got thru the bloodwork okay earlier and I really hope my numbers are doing great.
It's a great day today. I bought a copy of 'Simple Abundance' and started reading it. I read some of it years ago and just feel like I want to get into it again.
The Hollow is absolutely GORGEOUS today.
