Putting Myself Out There

Wow, what an experience and invitation last weeks interview as for me. I think I emailed it to everyone I can think of... family, friends or coworkers (with exception to my Uncle Ken whom recently changed his e-mail address - don't worry you will get it too).

I sat and listened to part of it with my mother-in-law who was down visiting... it was a long interview, she didn't stay to finish listening to it (perhaps she will if she wants to in the privacy of her own home). I haven't listened to it in it's entirety yet... I intend on doing so tonight.

By the sounds of Louise's entry entitled The power of contagion it is being downloaded quite a bit, so this is a good thing. I also think that is because we are not afraid to talk about what is meaningful to us, about what we are doing, we are not afraid to let people know what we are involved in.

For those of you whom I have not met yet I have been struggling for years about my weight. About matching the inside me to the outside me and I have been blogging about that in a second blog entitled A Whole Healthy Me. Over the next few months I will be posting there quite a bit. Louise and I are going to be engaging in conversations surrounding food (and what it is really about).

I would encourage you if you feel you are interested to explore that blog. I also want to assure those who I know that I am not ashamed about what I say there, don't feel you are prying if you wish to read or know more. If I did not want people to read about my experiences I would not put them here.

If you know me well and you wish to talk with me about anything I have written there do not back off if tears may come to my eyes as I speak to you, the tears are a good thing and I know that by staying in those tough conversations will accelerated the things I need to process to make the outside me match the inside me.

For tonight, I am exhausted. I am done for now. Tomorrow is another day... and there is always more.
