Before anything, I need to apologize for getting my blog post in late. But I had promised a neighbor that I would clear out the blackberry bushes taking over her front yard.

Now, if you have ever tried to get rid of berry bushes, you know that they spread roots so fast, not to mention all the THORNS, it’s not a simple job.

It was only the second time I had spoken to the woman, but I learned that she was really going through it, and I have always had a real passion for helping those in need. It genuinely makes me happy like nothing else does.

I also have very strong feelings about being of your word, when it comes to helping others. If I say I will do something, you can absolutely count on it getting done.

But when it came to doing something good for myself, I let myself down pretty consistently. But no longer. I believe that I am worth the time it takes to follow this program, and become the person I know that I can be.

And if it weren’t for the obvious love and belief that everyone I have had the pleasure to meet since this began just 2 weeks ago, I don’t think that I would have had the shift in my heart.

I am worthy of having a good life, and only I can give that to me. I am so thankful that I didn’t give up on myself. I promise that I am going to give myself the gift of completing this program and changing my life. And I always keep my promises!
