HI! MY NAME IS KATHY AND I’M SUGARHOLIC.

Hey people- how are you doing?
Right... Well, it's been a wee while since I last wrote anything!
Once again I trust this finds you wel and that you are having a fantastic week. Without a doubt the world is unstable on so many fronts. In this crazy & negative world there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s embrace ourselves for the best and pray for those hurting.

It’s one thing to set a goal. It’s another thing to have a plan to help you attain the desired goal into a HABIT.

Late last year, I made a commitment to stop taking artificial sugar in 2009… actually I don’t think I understood the meaning of this resolution until 1st January.

On 1st January, I paid a visit to a friend and Walaahhhhh…..there she was enjoying a delicious, white and brown chocolate bar. It hit me really bad and I got to realize that 95% of what I consumed on a daily basis had sugar. Am talking about Cakes, Cookies, Biscuits, Chocolates, Bread with peanut butter and jam, Soda’s, Sweet pies…you can name it all.

As said earlier, I had made a decision to stop taking artificial sugar for a year or so until I could handle the amounts I put into my body.
Had I made a right decision to stop consuming that much sugar? Could I pull it off?
It was 1st January and it seemed like ages.

I now realize that I was pretty addicted to Sugar. And I might as well say: - HI! MY NAME IS KATHY AND I’M A SUGARHOLIC.

We have got to be accountable for all we do…We Are What We EAT. This is the main reason I have decided to give up artificial sugar. It’s tough and requires a lot of discipline but it’s all worth it. It’s a minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day process. The truth is, it’s really hard to quit an addiction.

I can hardly believe it’s the 20th day and I have stayed away from sugar. There are times I wanted to give-up and take a soda or a pie… but somehow God has helped me through.
Each and everyday is a gift from above.

What is your addiction? And as you think about it REMEMBER that:-
You make the world a better place by making yourself a better person.

Take care, we will talk again soon... i surely hope that this site will be a major encouragement in your life throughout this year.

Living passionately,
Katherine

DARE TO DO.

I must say this!!!!!! And I’m “Saying it Out LOUD”… LEARN-TO-DO-SOMETHING.
Learn to take chances. Use all opportunities that come your way.
I have many friends who have great ideas but… that’s all they have -IDEAS.

You can not know how good you can be Or know what you need to improve if you don’t try.

Take a choice to be a Lion for a day than to be a Sheep all your life.

Try and do something in your life-time…do something that you feel passionate about.

LIVE TO DO. So what if you fail!!! Here’s a plus for Doers… they DO and if they happen to fail they learn from their experiences. It’s part of the journey.

Know what you want and DO IT… Nike says it best “Just – do - it”.

You know what, I’m not the best writer in this world and English is my second language. But this will not stop me from trying to write and tell you about my thoughts and reflections… No way! Good or bad I will do it anyway…PERIOD.

Not only has this helped with daily and weekly improvements but I get to share my life with you.

I'm so passionate when i sit-down to write and this has paid off tremendously in each & everyway. I truly have no regrets.

Happy 2009

This year brings wonderful gifts. Many of them may be disguised as ordinary Road-Blocks. But don’t focus on what's going wrong. Focus on the end result. Do your best and after you’ve done all you can, just stand and let God surprise you.

Have a wondeful year!!!

Live with a passion and dont forget to be thankful.

Katherine
