Queenie,

How did you change the title to your thread?


BS - me 56

Hi Queenie!!

I understand what u are going through, I have been there too. I have gained about 30 lbs in the last 8 months. But there was a book that I read and it changed my life, I am now writing a little bit of it I hope it helps you too. The title of the book is "His Princess". These are letters from God to his princess. (YOU)

My princess,

Your body is so special to Me. I carefully created every part of you. You truly are fearfully and wonderfully made. I made you in My image, and I love you. I don’t want you to waste another day worrying about what you don’t look like or how much you weigh. Come to Me in the morning and let Me be your mirror. Let Me design your diet; let Me be the strength you need to become your healthiest. You don’t have to do this alone; I am here to give you all you need to be free and at peace with yourself.

Love, your King, your Identity

I really hope this helps a little!!!

Angie.

Queenie, I wish you would try something. Get yourself a notebook or journal, and every day write down at least three things that are good in your life. It could be that you reached a goal, or something you like about yourself, or a way God has blessed you, or the positive way you handled a certain situation, or even a particularly beautiful sunset you were able to witness. Makes no difference how great or small, they just have to be positive things that make you feel good about your life and yourself.

I firmly believe that the more attention we give the positive or the negative, the bigger it becomes in our lives. If our focus is on what is wrong or missing, it is only natural that we become overwhelmed. When we focus on what is right and how we have been blessed, then we can live gratefully.

Like the old adage says: If we fill our hours with regrets over the failures of yesterday, and with worries over the problems of tomorrow, we have no today in which to be thankful.

Chai,

I emailed a moderator and asked them to change it for me.

Hi Angie, how are you? I think what you wrote is awesome, if I can afford it this month I might just get that book. I could really use it.

Hey Exodus, how are you girl. I think you have a wonderful suggestion. It's an excuse, but I'm tired tonight, I think that will be one thing I start tomorrow.

How are you? How is your life.

For someone who hates herself you sure do have allot of fight in you.

I remember you mentioning something about dry drunk woman who felt like she messed things up, I think you were describing yourself... I don't know this woman... I know the skinsgal that blossomed into a queen that everybody that comes acrross her can't help but to be drawn to her... This is the woman I come to know and love.

No more hate talk OK... Don't think for a minute that Mimi can't find you...I think she has special powers...so watch before she comes and give you a real 2x4...LOL

Love ya gal!!!

Yesterday and today are part of a very important Jewish Holiday I've come to understand from another one of my IRL friends.

Yesterday and today are part of a very important Jewish Holiday I've come to understand from another one of my IRL friends.
As a matter of fact, last night and through tonight were the holiest days of the year for a Jew.

Yom Kippur - Yom Kippur (Hebrew: יוֹם כִּפּוּר‎, IPA: [ˈjɔm kiˈpur]), also known in English as the Day of Atonement, is the most solemn and important of the Jewish holidays. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services.

Yom Kippur is the tenth and final day of the Ten Days of Repentance which begin with Rosh Hashanah. According to Jewish tradition, God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year into a "book" on Rosh Hashanah and waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the verdict. During the Ten Days of Repentance, a Jew tries to amend his behavior and seek forgiveness for wrongs done against God (bein adam leMakom) and against his fellow man (bein adam lechavero). The evening and day of Yom Kippur are set aside for public and private petitions and confessions of guilt (Vidui). At the end of Yom Kippur, one considers himself absolved by God.

The Yom Kippur prayer service includes several unique aspects. One is the actual number of prayer services. Unlike a regular day, which has three prayer services (Ma'ariv, the evening prayer; Shacharit, the morning prayer; and Mincha, the afternoon prayer), or a Shabbat or Yom Tov, which have four prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shacharit; Musaf, the additional prayer; and Mincha), Yom Kippur has five prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shacharit; Musaf; Mincha; and Ne'ilah, the closing prayer). The prayer services also include a public confession of sins (Vidui) and a reenactment of the special Yom Kippur avodah (service) of the Kohen Gadol in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

I made it through the fast. Actually I started fasting at 3:00pm yesterday and didn't eat until 6:15 tonight with NO water or food.

Yes, Cinderella, I printed it out for work not home and my boss made me throw it out. I'll have to see if I have it somewhere else.

I got fired as someone's sponsor yesterday. I honestly wasn't doing a good job and need to make amends to her. I don't have it today, but I have to dig deeper and be a better person of service to G-d so it helped to be in services today to ask for forgiveness for my sins.

I missed you guys.
