Well, somehow I've managed to survive 5 days away from my daughter, Melanie. Last Saturday, my husband and I left Melanie in her new college dorm with tears streaming down our faces. Trust me, we weren't alone as thousands of other parents were doing the same thing. (Here's a picture of Melanie and me in the middle of moving her into the dorm.)

As we drove away from campus, I couldn't hold back the tears that flowed - no gushed - from eyes. I couldn't deny the ache I felt deep in my heart nor the unease I felt in the pit of my stomach. As John drove further and further away from campus, I tried everything in my toolbox to ease the pain and discomfort - essential oils, deep breathing, raw chocolate, more essential oils...and NOTHING helped.

So, I followed my intuition and gave into the pain. I surrendered myself to it. I allowed myself to feel the pain, emptiness and every other emotion coursing through my body. It seemed to come in waves...just when I thought I was feeling better - a new slew of emotions would roll in and more tears rolled down my face.

John remained silent for quite some time as I sensed that he knew I needed the silence. The drive home seemed endless. But, when we finally arrived home and the dogs came to greet us with wagging tails and barks of joy, I felt a sense of peace come over me. I knew Melanie was in the right place - exactly where she is meant to be at this time in her life.

And, I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. Honestly, it feels SO good to be able to move through - what I anticipated to be a horrendous experience - with grace and ease.

It's no accident that I'm moving through this time with peace of mind and excitement for what the future holds. I'm living a life filled with joy, peace, love and harmony because that's the choice I've made for myself.

It IS a choice. And I encourage you to say "yes" to a beautiful life. Circumstances may not always feel "pretty" but you have the power to change your circumstances. My life wasn't always great. In fact, there were times in my life that sucked...but, I made the conscious decision to invite more pleasant experiences into my life.

The more practiced you become at calling in love, beauty, peace, grace or whatever you want and need...the more it comes flooding in. I'd love for you to learn some of the steps I took to turn my life around for the better. In my new Delicious Weight Loss program, I'll be sharing many of the tools I used to not only lose 30 pounds and keep it off, but also how I re-ignited my light inside, raised my vibration and began living my life with purpose and intention.

This is no ordinary weight loss program!!
