So this is a tough one, loving and feeling confident in the body that you have right now. We all look at magazines and want to change something about ourselves, either you thighs are too large (not sure I think someone stuck extra ones on me), stomachs not flat, nose too big, the list goes on. Being though in a different country I have grown to be comfortable in my own skin because well no one that I know is watching or judging me.
Yes I would love to loose some weight and yes I could be doing more to help that bit along, but really its not about looking into the future of how you "want" to look focusing on the now is really important. So enjoy your body find something that you love about yourself and focus on that. I love my calves (now again more because I have been able to tone them again) really it doesn't matter what it is just find SOMETHING. Love your body its does so many amazing things. And if you want to work on this together let me know!

Amazing Grace
Hello All.
This past week has been a whirlwind of a time with the sudden passing of my grandmother (oma in German) So I would like to dedicate this blog post to her. She was a very beautiful women but not in the typical way you think of grandmothers. She was a really good cook and I loved when she baked! I think one of her favorite pass times when she was older was listening to her grandchildren. My cousin and I spent a Saturday with her a couple of weeks back and mostly my cousin and I did a lot of talking a laughing and cutting up, and even though she kept telling us we were going into her nap time she sat there and smiled and laughed at the things we said.
She was a very hard worker, raising 7 kids on a farm and always such a giving person. At the funeral you were able to see how many lives that she touched as the church where it was held was full. Even though it was sad to say a final goodbye to my oma, I know that she will live on in all of our hearts. I am very fortunate to have had so much time with her and know what a wonderful woman that she was.
