    Hi Kim, I would love to join your blog. I am a mother of six beautiful children. I am now myself on my journey to love myself for the first time after my children who are all grown up and on their own. I need to lose weight. It has become to a point to lose weight or die from 7 doctors. I am now caring about me, myself and I. I read your journey and I honestly believe you could be a strength to me in my journey. I thank God that I found you by mistake but a blessing from God. God has my journey already planned out and I need to find myself to get on the right path. Can you help me please.

My Mid-Life Chrysalis

How many opportunities am I going to get to recreate myself? Two years ago, I would have said none. A year ago, I would have said one. Now, I say as many as it takes to get it right. Because that's what life should be about - continuously trying - creating and recreating - striving to get it right. I've accepted the fact that I'm considered middle-aged now. Some days, it's hard to hide. With middle-age comes assessment and reassessment. And, with those assessments come adjustments and readjustments. Moments of "this is all it will ever be" and moments of "this can't be all there is". I will not give in to the stereotypical mid-life crisis. This moment in the middle of my life is not a crisis but a chrysalis. And, I will emerge better and more beautiful than I was going into it.

Bringing Sexy Back

I feel like I spent the entire year of 2016 in recovery mode. I had suffered a severe kidney infection and kidney failure in December 2015. It took months to recover from the situation. In July of 2016, I pinched a nerve in my back that left me in excruciating pain through my shoulder and elbow. I was in physical therapy for over two months dealing with that issue. It seemed like I was falling apart and I was dreading what could come next. I was 47, overweight, and suffering from high blood pressure. I was more than a little depressed. So, by the end of that year, I knew that I needed to make a change. So, I did. I declared 2017 the year I brought sexy back. Sexy had a pretty long way to come... I started walking every morning and evening, just up and down my driveway. I logged step after step and mile after mile. I know I must have looked foolish to the cars that passed by on the busy highway. I was that crazy woman who walked all the time, usually talking to myself, and...

What Remains

We all have a story and, in the end, it is our story that remains. At the end of 2016, I wondered what remained of the girl I had once been, the girl who didn't realize at the time that she was pretty and had gifts that should be appreciated. It was then that I set out to find her, to see if I would recognize her, and to see if I could entice to come back home. She remained elusive for months. But, I was relentless in my pursuit. I walked for miles on a daily basis chasing her, knowing deep down inside that she was still alive and that, somewhere out there, she existed. I would catch glimpses of her in windows and in mirrors, but she was always just outside of my grasp. Every morning, I would set out determined that day would be the day that I would find her. And, every day, I got a little closer to catching her. Months into the chase, something happened. I saw her walking just a few yards ahead of me. I picked up the pace to catch up to her and I was fear...
