The Boss of Myself`

Hello my friends,


I am thrilled to have my book published~finally~after spending nearly 2 years writing, editing, then rewriting-then more editing etc etc. I feel as though I have finished my first SUPER IRON WOMAN RACE~(sigh)~! Through it all, I am so pleased and humbled by the awesome outcome of "The Boss of Myself". I surely do not take all the credit for this book, however. I feel I was inspired to share specific aspects of my story to fuel motivation and encouragement...mostly to restore hope to those individuals that have little or none.

I have a deep desire to help others to be the driver in their own life...To Become the pilot, the CEO..."The Boss" of themselves! After my many prayers during creating "The Boss of Myself", my passion to instill self love & HOPE permeates each page. My goal is to personally share with you what I have learned (so far) which is: YOU can change, overcome, win and be the success you KNOW you are! You are NEVER too old, too overweight, too ANYTHING....YOU are capable of more than you know!

I close with my gratefulness to God-He has given me everything. I am blessed to have so many friends that have helped and taught me all along my path. I have the best family EVER and I feel lucky to be a part of such coolness:) I LOVE each of you!

Love, Wendy

December 23rd

It's almost Christmas!
I have a poem I wrote this morning. Not intending to be negative-but to be real about how I am feeling these days. I am having a hard time adjusting to some new thyroid medication I started taking 4 weeks ago. I switched from Synthroid to Armour Thyroid. I have also started my bioidentical hormone treatment. I am struggling with my state of mind while my body adjusts to these natural treatments.

I will post more blogs at a later date regarding my experience with bioindentical hormone treatment, as I have kept a journal about my progress, my struggles and my personal feelings through this whole ordeal. Life is a thrill ride...I just happened to be at the bottom of the roller coaster right now. I know everything will work out okay. It just helped for me to write this poem to express myself at this point.

December 23rd
It's December 23rd,
No stockings hung
No tree, no lights
Not even a one!

The arrival of Christmas
Has been out of mind
My heart is not in it
Nor my soul will It find.

Excitement I see in the eyes of my boy
My little girl is hoping for a new barbie toy
Yet I can't seem to make myself care or desire
Somewhere on my path
I've snuffed out my own fire.

My body is still, though I wished I could do
All the things I see other moms
Doing til through

Please help me get through one more passing hour
Im needing your help, my Heavenly Father!
