Promote Women Within

Roughly about 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with Graves disease. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a severely overactive or under-active thyroid (I had overactive; which decreases your weight); that if not detected and treated can cause death. The thyroid hormone, as small as it is, has many functions to keep your body working properly. One of them is our metabolism. Me and my son in 2009. I was 141 lbs. After extensive years and months of working out, eating properly (which is a lifestyle change), and reaping the benefits, my thyroid came into existence just when I was at a comfortable weight, and happily maintained it for at least 3 years. Over a 3 year period, ( sounds familiar, but I lost it in 3 years and maintained it for an additional 3 years) with some obstacles along the way, I went from 178 lbs. to 141 lbs. Sounds easy enough, but it wasn't. My first year of losing weight, I lost 15 lbs. and maintained that weight for over a year, un...

We all can distinguish between good and bad, light and dark, or right and wrong; but none of us know some one's thoughts before he/she speaks them. We can fool man but NO ONE can deceive God. Yet some of us can cover up a deep hurt by how we act; such as appearing strong within; however, our heart speaks to God and says; "This person is truly kind, giving, and understanding".

Father Thank you for the wonderful gift of family! A family who is able to correct in love and not hold a grudge. Help each other with our needs, but not instill a selfish want!

Growth is an up hill climb that will eventually bring you to the top, but never look back or down, because you will fall ~ hard!

Christmas Dinner with some of my family, but not all!  Jesus summoned these men and asked them (using proverbs they all understood), “How can Satan cast out Satan? A kingdom divided against itself will collapse. A home filled w...
