Welcome back!

I looked around at a few blogs today that deal with bodily issues - why you should deprive yourself of food, work your ass off by pounding the pavement, or fret over the weight gain that is coming over the holidays.

Pish tush!  What a bunch of piddle!  This kind of thinking will keep you chained to your scale forevermore.  do you want that?  Or would you prefer the freedom of understanding what is truly making you gain that weight?

Weight gain, like all the other experiences we create, is an individual, mental creation.  I know you don’t see it!  If you saw it, you’d have quit it long before you made it habitual and an ugly monster that seems permanent as I did.  You see, ladies, the reason I wrote my book was to explain all this to you.  Now I know you’re ramping up to autobahn speeds over this holiday thing.  So, why don’t you get your hubby or your best girlfriend to buy you a copy of the book for Christmas and you can begin to read it on Dec. 26th. And for all of the “thems” in your life who assume you value their opinion, just tell them you’re on it.

My 75 year old aunt got her copy of the book two days ago.  She’s read half of it already and told me she can’t peel herself away from it!  And that’s two generations ago, when their ideas were even more set in concrete. She amazed even me!

Wishing you 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
