In the movie "Runaway Bride," Maggie was a sweet & vibrant woman.  But, she was desperate for love.  She would transform herself for whomever she was dating at the time.  Never learning more about herself, rather spending all of her time convincing her current man that she was perfect for them.  She even went so far as to match their like for eggs.  If one man liked poached, then she liked poached.  If one man liked scrambled, then she liked scrambled.  It wasn't until she met Ike, that she realized her ways & truly started delving into who SHE was & what SHE liked.

I've spent so much of my life as a chameleon....especially when I was dating.  I always felt so unworthy & inferior, that I would match myself to whomever I was with. Their likes became my likes....and, they each thought that I was the perfect find. 

Little did they know...

I ended up hurting people that I loved, and it NEVER was my intention!  It was because of my insecurities & lack of self-worth.

I grew up in the church, and knew my worth in Christ.  But, it was a "head" knowing & not a "heart" knowing.  I knew I was worthy, but I didn't "feel" worthy.

When I met Tom, I was ready for a change…ready to stand up for myself & have a healthier relationship.

Are we perfect?...no!!!  Do I have myself all figured out yet?...no!!!  But, I'm trying.

At this point in my life, I'm ready to put myself as a priority again.  I don't want to be a chameleon any longer.  Rather, I want to shine like a bright light in this dark world!

As for the gym...I don't want to just "slide by" & do the bare minimum.  Rather, I want to be a power house & an example for others that ANYTHING is possible!  If I can do it, then so can you!

Today I am feeling rather weak...BUT, I still did my workout.  And, hopefully this feeling will pass for tomorrow.

No matter what stage of life you are in...be a powerhouse!  Don't blend in...SHINE bright! 

Know that you are worth it! 

Oh...and, how do I like my eggs, you ask???  Dippy :o)
