Welcome back!

Believe it or not, I was contacted this week by a man who said he also struggled with obesity and self-acceptance and self-love.  That in itself isn’t terribly surprising.  What struck me was the restriction I’ve placed on our community as a women only community. I want to explain how this whole thing works and the whys of it.

I have no concept at all of being discriminating against men.  Men can certainly buy, read and learn from both the book and the accompanying workbooks. Men can attend all of the teleclasses and gain tremendously from that learning.  In fact, three of the fourteen classes will be taught this year: on Nov. 14th, Dec. 5th and Dec. 19th at 6 pm PST; 9 pm EST.  It will provide more food for your thought than Thanksgiving and Christmas together can provide for your belly.

The only thing men cannot do is join the community.  It’s a place for women who want to let their hair down in the presence of their sisters.  The sharing gets “different” if men are there.  I know some men have highly unfolded their feeling side, but so often the perspective of men is not helpful to women who want to make corrections in their lives.  I want our community to be a sanctuary, much like group therapy, where whatever happens there among the sisters, stays there; and the help received transforms your lives.

So, fellows, I am sorry to exclude you.  I know you need help, too.  I am not a man.  I don’t think like a man. I don’t talk like a man.  I don’t know how to get into your psyche and help you.  I only know how to do that for women.  That being said, yesterday, I was asked to link up with a man who might be able to help you. His name is Matt DiLorenzo, and here’s his site: Coherent Healing.  He’s got a male perspective that I do not.  I wish you well.

Helping the world’s obese women find

their voices, self-acceptance, and self-love

It’s a red-letter day at The World of Within because, after a long uphill pull, we’ve finally gone live.  I am so pleased the day finally arrived, because my vision behind this site can begin to manifest itself.

My dream for Your Self is that, regardless of how your body looks, and without changing it one iota, you can embrace that very Self in complete love and self-acceptance.

If you’re new here, and you don’t know me personally, let me share that I’ve been an overweight and then obese woman much of my life.  I realized that my dream of becoming The Diet Guru would never be fulfilled because I was not successful at dieting.  So I asked myself “Well, what are you good at girlfriend?” and the answer came back - Self-Love, Self-Esteem, and Self-Acceptance.

So I wrote a book about that.  It’s called My Cats Have Seen Me Naked and it’s the story of my life’s unfoldment: what I did to acquire an understanding about Life and its issues and then how to use that understanding. I hope you’ll purchase the book, read and enjoy it, and tell your friends about it.

I’ll keep this first blog simple.  Look at the website The World of Within, sign up for the ezine In-Sights (and get the free Bi-Weekly Boosts), look at The Fat Movie and see if you don’t belong here with us.

All are welcome.

With Love,

Pat Matson
