Moms are the most amazing beings in the world. Loving, giving, sacrificial, stern at time, but always kind. They make the world go around. I cannot imagine my life without my Angel 
. Although a premenopausal surprise for her–she had me at 47–she gave me all she got… and to the rest of my siblings. I would not change one thing about how I came into this world… because Mom and Dad always made me feel special. They gave me everything I needed to succeed in life.
Mom gave me… her personality and her stubbornness ;). At nearly 83 she is still young at heart and loves life. I have never met as young of an older person as she is. She still goes swimming to the Y 4-5 times a weeks, watches her grand and great-grandkinds, visits her friends, has people over. Mom never stops!

I love my readers! What can I say?! They (you) are just awesome! I love talking with you here on the blog and on the Facebook. I love sharing my stories and my life with you and even more I love learning about you, watching you transition to a healthier lifestyle, and in the process, touch the lives of others. I am simply blessed! Very rarely do I end up with any negativity in comments here on the site or on Facebook–most of you are just wonderfully amazing, wanting to live better, healthier, happier and longer, and I am all they way with you, wanting to see you not to the finish line, but the beginning and continuation of your health journeys.
Last week’s Super Fan V giveaway is no exception to my wonderful positive rule. The winner, Cindy Nunez (!), is a true V at heart. No! Let me take that back–she is an Ultra V!
Cindy began her health journey out of a need–she wanted to help her father recover from a cardiovascular infarction. [click to continue reading…]

Some of you already heard it from me–last week Hubby and I had a maternity, i.e. belly shoot. (yee-huh!) A wonderful local photographer, Nicole Dixon, captured our most memorable time for us. She just added a few images to Facebook, so I am going to repost them here, hoping they will look as good in this resolution, so you all can see just how much fun we had in the 50 F degree weather wearing summer clothes (brrrr….).
Let’s start with my favorite of the ones that I have seen so far.
