Here we go! A blog for my women who struggle with being and living their best selves. Let this blog be to strengthen your wisdom and vitality for life and thus your physical person. May it be a resource of encouragement to you and a place of comfort and new strategies. My desire for Follow Me Then Fly is for women who need a companion to find an understanding home here. I hope my wisdom and my words will point you to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior and aid you in your walk to be your unique and optimal selves, living fully for Him.

What I share with you is from my life's learnings and from my heart. Welcome.

Feel Good About Your Body




This can be a difficult task. We seem to never be satisfied with how we look. Our poor bodies take so much so much negativity from us. We are so unkind to the very vessel that gets us up and down the stairs, takes us on beautiful walks and holds our very existence. We criticize, over-exercise, over-eat, pick on, beat on, – you name it. We do it to our bodies. We just don't offer our bodies the respect they deserve.

If we could appreciate our bodies and care for them the way they require and deserve, wouldn't this be so much better? Nourishment for our bodies is scientific and precise but it isn't rocket science. Healthy eating plans are readily available. Potato Chips have never been good for the human being and I am not thinking they are ever going to be. But, we still choose them. We are lured to them by the nose and the eye and not by the need of proper nourishment.

It is the hardest thing to be kind to your body and not judge it against the standards of the world...or at least the American media. We are incredibly judgmental and we compare ourselves to what we see as the perfect model of the human female body. Truly, there is no perfect female body, except for the one you are in. Each body is perfect. We need to wake our society up and push against this perceived perfection that is stick thin and start putting our voices out there. We need to clearly protest that a woman's body is curvy and lovely. Some are thinner than others, but all are different and all are fine.

Yes, there is a point of being unhealthily overweight and each person knows where they are on scale. It is a personal choice and not subject to judgment. Let people be. Be your own woman and pay attention to your own body and no one else's. Care for it and love it and feed it what it needs. Say a hearty, “Thank You,” to it once in awhile. Pat yourself on the shoulder for getting to this point in your life. Pamper and preen. Bask in the sun. Curl up in comfy blankets. Go for long walks. Love your own body.

Take Good Care Today.
