Each of us is sitting here today hoping and wishing for the most amazing New
Year. I have done the same for many years in a row and always believed that
something would come my way. I was wrong. Nothing magically comes your
way. That would be divine intervention. Nope. The idea is to work for the
things you want. How do you figure out what that is? This requires a
little quiet time. Turn off the TV, your iPod (unless you are running) and
all the other distractions you are facing. Let the quiet do its work.
Listen to what is in your heart. Look for images of what you imagine
yourself doing. I ignored an image I had in my head pretty much all my life
until 10 years ago. That image was me on a stage doing something in front
of a lot of people. I did not know what that something was - I wasn't
holding a guitar - but I was doing something and now I can see that image
was part of what I have become. Search inside for your dream. Find the
thing you are passionate about even if that thing is cleaning, walking,
combing hair or throwing out garbage. Passion and keeping your head and your
heart open will help you develop your dreams - make them realities.
Let's make this next year about finding our "stage" and giving life to our
dreams. What have you got to lose?
Remember I am always listening and supporting each of you.
Hugs

Welcome to January 2009!
Welcome to the New Year!
I wanted to share less words and more pics with you showing how much fun I had with family and friends. Twenty one of us celebrated together in many ways - around a bonfire, dancing, eating (naturally), drinking (was that even a question?) and playing games. Check out the fun and enjoy!
Hugs and stay tuned.

PS. I nearly forgot to share some fantastic news with you ... US Weekly has done a positive write up on The Eat Clean Diet in the next issue! Wahoooooooo!

Hello Sistahs in Iron, Women of Strength and All Those Who Support Us!
This is it! 2008 will become a memory in a matter of hours, minutes and seconds. The ups and downs of an entire year can soon be put to bed with a few sips of champagne and a kiss from your special someone. Even if you don’t have a special someone, make an effort to reach out to that person who has been your nemesis, enemy or obstacle in your life. Forgive and forget! Life is such a brief moment – too brief to remain mired in the negative. Seek out the positive. Forgive yourself, forgive others. Get in touch with your hidden strengths – I know you have them. I believe in you.
Throughout the year we have learned so much. The lessons to be found in pursuing your dreams in any arena of life including improved health and fitness are many. I cannot face any day in good form without taking good care of myself through Eating Clean and physical exercise. My wish for you is to also discover the nurturing that comes from practicing these good principles. If all else in your world is falling apart at least you can derive satisfaction from the discipline of training and eating well. I reflect on my own lazy, fat days and remember how difficult it was to climb even a set of stairs. I was lazy and out of ignorance chose not to look after myself – I scarcely knew how. Now that I have discovered how to do so life and food is no longer perverse. It is a joy! A sheer joy!
2009 promises to be as exciting and challenging as the one we will soon put to bed. Looking forward I will continue to strive towards reaching goals I have already set for myself and new ones. Achieving success comes from developing a system in which to gain it. Make a plan, as I did. Write it down! Read it and feel it! Do it every day! No one will give it to you. You must make it happen for yourself. I want to take my dreams and make them commitments – the real thing. To that end I know I will physically and emotionally be in the moment striding towards success each day I am granted on this giant mud ball called Earth. I feel the winds of change not only for myself but for our continent.
Remember I am always listening to each of you. I am your Sister in Iron. I learn from you and you from me. Together we will become what we are destined to be – our best!
2009 is the year for you and I to be successful. Can you feel the power? I can!
Your friend,
Hugs and best New Year wishes to you all,
Sincerely,
Tosca
