Hello. Happy you stopped by. You won’t miss one juicy tidbit if you sign up for updates in the box on your right. Don’t forget, it all starts with “My Cats Have Seen Me Naked” – a permanent healing message for you who struggle with bodily image.

If You're Stuck in the Snow, Rethink your Resolutions

If any of you plus sized ladies are at all like me as I suspect you are, you shyed away from making any resolutions this year because, what the heck, they never play out anyway.  Am I right?

Honey girl, you deserve to have dreams and you deserve to make those dreams come true. If you will read through the Blog Posts I did here, and if you look for the 14 main points explained there, you will have at your fingertips the key ideas for how to make all your own dreams manifest.

• You are entitled to have your dreams come true as a plus sized woman.
• In this mental universe, you are capable of thinking your way into success. Nobody’s excluding you because you are plus sized….unless you are.  You aren’t, are you?
• You can hold fast to all the lovely ideas that encompass your dream and think them, think them, think them with the full expectation that they will appear in your experience.  This has zip to do with your size, so please don’t add that exception to your thinking.
• Once you get a completely detailed mental picture in your mind of precisely what your dream looks like, be that some object, some event, or a particularly shaped body, and you hold that picture in front of your mind as you think of it, it will become manifestly clear to you in all the details of its truth, and it will become a manifestation right in front of your face.

I’d like nothing more for you this year than for you to manifest your dreams.  You so deserve that.

Hugs,

Pat

Christmas Dinner with Family

I love the holidays. I see them as a reward for a year well spent, learning how to get more deeply inside of myself and acknowledge the good that is there, helping those I love intensely (and those I don’t even know very well) to learn more about themselves, and then celebrating these efforts to the max!

I’ll be wrapping gifts this week and decorating my home.  I began to think about overweight women who wrap themselves in dismay over the holidays, and I decided to share my new perspective as well as my old one (the one about dismay over the holidays) in the hopes some of you will be well served with a changed perspective as I was.

I used to worry about weight gain over the holidays due to the celebratory, extra, food.  I no longer do that.  So, how did I get to here from there? I learned the following facts.  I’ll list them here and then I’ll write about each one individually in my December blogs - plus the ones I can’t think of today but will add at the end. 

• This is a mental universe.
• I can think.
• I am a mental being.
• My mindcreates what it thinks about.
• The things my mind creates are “effect” and my mind is Cause.
• Effects cannot cause one single thing.
• There is no difference between mental and spiritual.
• There are no physical things in a mental universe.
• Knowing there are no physical things is very important.
• Physical things cannot be changed.
• Mental things can be changed.
• Truth is real.
• Error is unreal.
• Both truth and error have an appearance.

Okay, since I only blog three times a week, I think that should be enough for the entire month. My dream is that on New Year’s Eve, because you follow this blog and you tell your overweight friends to read it too, we’ll all be better prepared to move into 2010  with a  basket full of right ideas to help us think differently about this overweight phantasmagoria.

One idea:  the book I wrote in 2008 is all about my life story and how I learned these Truths.  If you want a really unique gift for your overweight friends, I’d love to autograph one for them.  Go here to purchase My Cats Have Seen Me Naked: How I Achieved Self-Love and Self-Respect While Obese.

Thank you for being out there.  When I write for you, I review for me and I appreciate this opportunity.

Love,

Pat
