I have chosen a more healthier lifestyle. Not only to feel beter but to be healthy overall. I want to enjoy life and everything in it.

I am a poud volunteer with Ann Randall at the Charity Craft Volunteer Network. Her site is located here:

You can also find her on Meetup.com

It is great to give back and Ann and her organization make it so easy and worth while. I did not know how to make a quilt and now I am making quilts for the group. I even pulled my husband in to help with stuffing pillows and my (13) daughter help sewing them close by hand.

Come join in the fun if you don't know how to sew, knit, whatever she will hook you up with someone who does so that you too can contribute.

I have been actively trying to slim down over the past month and I must congratulate myself because it is working.  I am enjoying the changes that I see in me.  I have also been continuously working out (kickboxing and participating in a work group for the Texas Roundup through a coach from RunTex).  I am enjoying the workouts (believe it or not).  My clothing size has gone down and I notice things do fit the same (as they say TIME TO GO SHOPPING).

Can you believe we are already into 2009? I was just getting accustomed to 2008. Oh Well. I decided that I will now learn to knit socks. I know how to knit, but socks scare me. Those tiny needles and hours upon hours later you have one lonely sock. Well it is 2009 and each year you have to venture into something new and this will be one of my "something new".

This is my first electronic journal (that is for the world to see).  I hope to get it down pact and add more to my page.  This is interesting and I am looking forward to it.
