What is your diamond in the rough?

Every person has a special attribute that makes him or her unique, no matter who you are, what you do or where you live. I want you to think about that for a moment. Is your special something known to those around you, or do you keep it wrapped up tight away from others?

I think it’s important to look into our inner resources, or our internal qualities. Therein lies our most valuable personal assets. If you don’t look, these wonderful treasures could lie buried forever. So today, I simply want you to be a miner of sorts and identify at least one jewel within you. We all have them, so what is your diamond in the rough?

Wishing You Great Health,

I thought this was good. we need to look deep with in ourselves and find that jewel. This blog was inspired by Nancy. She is deep in self discovery and I think it is awesome. We need to really appreciate who we are, and find our inner beauty. This journey is so much more than just weight loss. I have grown in ways I could never imagine. I think this is all about finding your self,  and learning ( maybe for the first time) who you really are. The emotions we kept numbed by food, the fear. We can no longer hide, and I don’t want to.

This is our time to shine, people! I am still looking for my inner jewel, I think part of it is that I love you people with a passion, I told a friend yesterday that I am a lifer here, and it is true. You all have helped me come closer to the me I was meant to be than ever before. It is scary, challenging, not altogether pain free, but I would not trade this journey for anything. No amount of money could replace it.

Well, I got my hours changed today! I now go to work from 7:15 to 3:45, and i love it, got home in time to do a good workout! Next week will be hitting the gyM!

Hope you all are having a great nite, and I love you!

    I’m sitting here stumped on what to write about my special something. I think my love of life and all it’s little things could be my jewel. I also have a very caring heart and always put others before me. I’m not really one hundred percent sure on what the answer is for myself. I think sometimes it might be easier for someone else to answer this for us from an outsiders perspective. For example, I’m sure my mom would answer for me that I am humorous and can brighten anyone’s day.

    I feel like I am on a constant journey of self discovery, sometimes it makes me want to scream but I know it has to be done!
