Talking Mattye Lee's Birthday Pics! Before and Now I...
Hi everyone!

First I want to share with you a pic of me when I was about 18 years old. Back then I weighed about 126 pounds...



but then abuse and stress took their tolls, and at 36, I weighed in the neighborhood of 325 pounds. This is me on my wedding day to my wonderful, amazing hubster...



over the course of the next 5 years, I lost down to 267.5, which was about this time last year at my hubster's graduation from UNT - shortly before I began my raw journey...I was 41 years old in this photo...



and now today, high raw since 8/1/2007, at 42 years young and 185.6 pounds this morning!

Mattye... oh... mattye... I am sitting here crying with joy.... Sweet sister... first... Happy Birthday!! and many blessings !

and second... you are truly MaMa's Goddess... Her own image of power and beauty, Spiritual Warrior... I am soooo happy for you... so proud of all you have accomplished....

You are emerging... can you see the magick? I know you can feel it -- as you push thru and rebirth yourself... my GOD WOMAN.... you are SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL...

OMG.. I CAN'T STOP CRYING....

i showed your pics to dh - he asked if you are the one who wrote the un~cook book frugal gourmet and I said yes...(he loves your book!)....he said you were beautiful. He also said You must be a very powerful Priestess - he could see it in your eyes... and you radiate wisdom.... and a beauty that is not of 'this world' but many ancient worlds... he called you a "True Woman"...
dh RARELY compliments people.... I was so touched by his words to you my sister...

Mattye.... omg... know this my sister... You have ALWAYS been beautiful ... or Jaysen would never have married you..!!! your heart and spirit (even though it was buried under so much hurt and pain...) still would shine out -- it couldn't help it...
and now... your temple reflects strength... power... a sensuous OWNING of that power within.... beautiful Mattye... truly - truly beautiful...

blessed be my Sister...
