A friend sent me this today. It’s what I’ve always thought about scales and I just love what she writes here. It was in the back of this month’s Oprah.

I feel more connected to consciousness, or soul, or inner spirit—whatever you choose to name the formless being that is the essence of who we are. I think of all the...

awareness .. truth .. moment by moment

I’ve been on this journey now … of reclaiming my health since April 1, 2007. Okay – ‘reclaiming’ is not quite accurate… it’s more like ‘truly and PURPOSEFULLY finding my health for the first time in my life’.
