Inspiration

Talking to Amina Makhdoom, is like standing in a yellow room. Not only is she an amazing inspiration, she exudes this sense of peace and grounding that many of us look for all our adult life. If I were to pick one person to be stranded with in traffic, she would be it.
To know Amina is a privledge. One that I've had the honor for the past five years.

Amina gave me this exercise last night: (These are not her EXACT words...)
Imagine how your life would be if you reached all of your fitness/health goals, if you were thin, in the jeans you wanted to be in, and reached your goal weight.
Now, right a list of all the things that would be different in your life. What would be different about your life now, vs. when you reached your goal weight?

What an eye opener.

The first thing on my list was..."more happy". I would be happier if I had reached my goal weight...I would be a more vibrant and productive woman, the sky would be the limit. I would achieve all of my dreams, if only I could drop the baby weight (he's nine months old). If I could reach my health and fitness goals, the world would by my oyster.

In time, with Amina's powerful words, my will power, and my list...all my dreams will come true.
