A new gadget to play with

It is called windows live writer, reminiscent of WYSIWYG web design tools. I am hoping, perhaps, this nifty app may get me back to blogging. I live the simplicity and so far the ease of use. I am excited to see the first post using this so here it goes(and then I will update what this diva has been up to)

What was I thinking!!!

2/10 ... yup thats right on day 2 of a 10 day work marathon. Also working very hard to continue to get rid of lbs. Hey don't judge ;) it's still cleaning out!! When I started work back on Jan. 26 2013 I was 213 lbs. Through changing my diet (no more soda) and slowly starting a workout routine I am happy to say I am 187. I still have a long way to go but I am happy with the progress and feeling really good (most of the time) Today was "bear" and nothing seemed to really want to fall in place the subway broke down on my way to work ended up having to take a cab(thankfully I had cash on hand to do so!)and well I think there were a lot more people than normal that were definitely having a worse day than me, because it was very busy at the hospital today. BUT all in all I made it through and still got up to the gym. Now it is time for bed, so I can do it all again!!!

getting in the mood .. once again!

Must be clean out time again.. cause out went 5 bags of garbage tonight. pulled up a carpet, scrubbed down the bathroom and the room leading to it , that we not so lovingly call the "blue room". In there is where the litter boxes are as well as our dryer. Got more of my yarn stash put away, a well as organizing a bit more of my art supply's.
On a bit more personal note I have also been working on cleaning out my body from toxins, trying to eliminate GMO's as well as started a Diatomaceous Earth detox, I have also all but stopped drinking soda. And at last I looked i have dropped close to 20 lbs in about 3-4 months.
I have also moved my garden to my yard (we had been doing a community garden for the last few years)and am looking forward to fresh veggies very soon!!!

Signs of Spring

Under the weeping cherry blossoms little things are growing.

 Inside our hearts,

we are making room.

One Time we Cooked Together-March 6, 2013

Cooking via google video chat- March 6, 2013

I think once was not enough- This sister needs serious help in the kitchen.

Things are changing

And a new day starts and many accomplishments have been made! I am now a licensed phlebotomist and ECG tech. I also have a great job that I love I started Jan. 28. So now with all these changes I need a bit of motivation to keep cleaning out the crap that has built up. So my goal for this week (and my challenge for my sisters) is to go through my closet and thin out and clear out things I don't use. So the challenge is on!!!

November is upon us.. and instead of hibernating let see if we can make the most of it

so are you ready? back at it again.. this would be so much easier with my own computer.. ahhh an excuse.. none of that but I will be back to work soon and and and.. NO I have been cleaning and I know so has Teri.. but getting back into a commitment of doing it.. can I do it.. YES!! Teri are you with me.. ready to take on motivating each other through the winter? ok this week i am tackling my hall way some how it has become a catch all of stuff to bring in and put away and for things that need to go.. sooo its time to put the stuff away.. and get rid of what needs to go..

Wow ... we did it! We sent my son Sebastian, off to collage. I had the help of my 2 sisters and niece.. along with the support of my hubby and love from Dez. So now maybe I can get back into this blogging thing ... as I need to get rid of ohhhh so much more crap!

Searching for that ONE thing

What is it that holds you together?  Let's you breathe easily. Brings you back to remembering? Connects you with a set of wings. Take time this week to pay attention and find out what that is...

Do NOT feel bad if you cannot name it - for naming it can be very scary. Do NOT feel bad if you do not have it now. Do NOT feel like you have somehow blown your chance or don't deserve it. Do NOT feel bad that it is not what every one else wants for you, Do NOT think it is not unreachable. Just sit with the possibility of it.

You will be tempted to scoff at it or throw it away.  Would you scoff or laugh at a small child's beautiful smile?  Of course not.  So do NOT throw this away. It does not take up much space.

Blessings to both of my sisters. xoxoxo teri
