Progress...

The past year has been a year of major progress for me in terms of physical and mental health.  I have been free of medications for a year now, and I'm happy to say that I'm doing very well.  Since this time last year, I have lost 55 lbs, and I hadn't even realized just how much of a physical transformation had taken place until I saw a picture of myself that was taken over the July 1st holiday weekend this year and then compared it with pictures taken over the same weekend in 2011.  And now I share them as a reminder to myself of how far I have come, and to encourage others that transformation is indeed possible.

ahhhhh... sometimes change is very, very good!!!!!

Sheela Na Gig

The drummer starts the pounding beat,
Goddess, Sheela Na Gig, descends...

She is sensual, provocative, erotic,
she's your lover, and your best friend.

She smiles coyly and beckons you into the circle; you are caught up in her trance.
Your body pulses with the beat of the drum as you join the rapturous dance.

She commands your respect, she intrigues you...
From her, your eyes can not be torn..

And as one you follow the beat of the drum into the wee hours of the morn...
