Releasing a child to the streets of Heaven

February 21, 2009 at 1:14 pm (encouragement) (, , , , )

Monday February 23 marks the one month anniversary of the passing of 4 month old Kaylen Leigh Phillips.

Since Kaylen entered into Heaven, her mother and I have launched a ministry to help other parents dealing with the loss of a child.  In one month, Kaylen’s Write to Heal has ministered to five families as they’ve turned their precious children over to the Lord.

Now we need your help. This weekend we are hosting a fundraiser. Our goal is to raise $5000 and 500 emails for this wonderful ministry.  I hope I never have to deal with the pain of burying my child but if I do, I’m certain receiving the cards and letters from the members of Kaylen’s Write to Heal would bring me great comfort.

Please help us reach this goal!!

Spread the word!!

Weighing in…Update from the Phat Farm

February 20, 2009 at 1:55 pm (encouragement) (, , , )

Just a quick post to those following along in my weight loss journey.scales2

Last week I posted my dirty secret and broadcasted my weight. Well, as promised I’m back to give you an update.

Last week, I topped the scale at an embarrassing 193.8 lbs. Today, I weigh in at 187.2 for a grand total of 6.6 lbs.  42 more lbs to go.

I’ve been doing the 90 second fitness program and I have to tell you, every muscle in my body is sore. You know, that good kind of sore where you know you’ve had a great workout. Oddly enough, I haven’t stepped foot in a gym and my work out so far has taken about 60 seconds total each day. (Working my way up to 180 seconds). Yep, three minutes a day..that’s the goal.

scalesI’ve taken pictures and can definitely see a change already. I have more energy and am feeling great. Of course, I still have a LONG road ahead.  I’m speaking at a Women of Faith Conference April 18th so that’s one goal I have to look great for. The other is seeing my husband April 10 for the first time in 4 months.

Join me in this journey.

I’ll be posting today’s WAHM in about an hour so stay tuned.

Seeing Green

Yep, I’m seeing green. I may be a bit jealous and of course I have a green thumb. But what’s got me so green today?
