Resurrection – a rising from the dead.  Wow, what a feeling !!!

 I’ve been mumbling and stumbling, reflecting, angsting, sabotaging,. . .  you get my drift and tonight I got the word.  I’ve been searching for who I am as I don’t know me anymore – I don’t fit in where I used to, my personal relationships have moved and my wee comfort spot is nowhere to be found.  As my byline for the first retreat read “can’t go back, closed that door”.  Thank God really, as I don’t want to go back, but as we so often do when the going gets tough we go back to the familiar.  Can I tell you this is the first time in my life I have broken through that barrier and WOW what a feeling.  I am ready to go “Dancing in the streets”!!!!!!!!

Linda I could hug you forever . . . . thanks mate.  Yes time – yes we have to each find our own way and  – yes we have losses to bear.

That’s it.!! We have lost our old selves. A death so to speak. And, as I’m still here I have to have been reborn, as this new person.  I HAVE BEEN RESURRECTED.  (Don’t be smart, I’m not old enough to be a relic).

Hello, I am Alison, I have joined the 112 day challenge PURPLE team today.  My starting weight is 77.5kg and I have 42 days to loose 9.5kg.  This time I am going with the scales rather than my dress size.  What will be will be.

If you know me well you will know I’m a why? girl.  I can’t do things because someone says so. I have to test and prove the theories and understand the reasonings. I couldn’t get my head round what was going on, and now it’s all so clear.

Is this how Einstein felt? Eureka, I need to shout it from the rooftops.

Here comes a 60′s chick. . . . . Ali
