(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

So.. after my complete rant in this post, I decided enough was enough... so here, in pictures, is my weightloss progress.. I am about 75% of the way to my goal weight. I have lost 17kgs (34.7lbs) and still want to lose another few to be completely happy...

Yes.. that is me in the middle in black.. at my heaviest I have ever been.. this picture was a real wake-up call for me..expecially since I had already lost 1 or 2 kgs..

I feel much better... enough said..

Have you figured out the answer yet?

I cannot even figure out the question.. let alone the answer...

Have you ever felt like one minute you are strolling along in your life, whistling a happy tune, perhaps watching a fluffy white cloud float on by.. seeing the beauty in the day... and then out of nowhere it all turns to poop...?

Everything that you thought you knew is no longer part of your reality? The things you thought you believed are now being tested... Which brings me to the question of what is the most important question?

If you had to choose one question, as being the most important one in life, what would it be? There are so many options..so many questions that masquerade as "The" question.. so how do you spot the genuine one from the intruder.. the fake.. the liar..
Why am I here?
What is my purpose?
What is my soul's lesson on this visit?
Am I doing the right thing?
What if I choose Option B?
If I make this choice, how will it impact the rest of my life?
Am I a good mother?
Is making this choice the right thing for my children?
Is chocolate really bad for you?

All good questions... but which is the question that determines the fate of your soul for all eternity (or at least on this visit until you get another chance)?

And what if I get it wrong? What if I am sidetracked by a question that seems important at the time, and in doing so I miss the real question... which means that I will need to repeat this cycle does it not?

And what if it is already too late? What if I missed the lesson? What if I was so busy with "the modern life" that I completely missed the lesson that was intended to grow my soul...?

Arrrrgggggghhhhh... yes.. to say the least.. I am feeling frustrated by all of this..

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel..

Very recently someone came into my life who seems to have the same kind of questions I have, the only difference is that she seems further along the path than I am..

Which brings me back to an earlier post (I cannot link you to the earlier post as I was forced to delete it.. yes.. literally forced)... People come into and out of your life when they are supposed to...

So I will breathe..
Slow deep breaths..
One question at a time...

Music Monday

I loved posting that song last week... I am a typical girl.. there are songs that just appeal to me - some have emotional meaning.. some just rock me to my core... so each week I am going to post a video to a song I love.. or has meaning for me...

So here is this weeks video.. this song makes me turn the volume way up and dance around my study like a crazy freak... Thank you world for giving us music that has this effect!
