The Mandarin

2010 is the year of taking action! Taking action on health; taking action on profession; taking action on friendships and romance; taking action on life paths. It will prove to be an exciting year: a year of risk, of love and of many reasons to celebrate. Each day will be a new adventure, each moment one to cherish. I can choose to take control, or to relinquish control. To abide by the rules or break them. To accept where I am at, or change where I am at.

Action begins now.

Step one - action over health... Counting calories is never something I thought of myself doing. That was only for the weak, the downhearted, the extremely overweight. I have come to believe however, that it is for the powerful, the strong, and the healthy! I move to shape my life into health. To consider what enters my sacred body, and be in charge of my well being. I move to take more steps, to inch by inch lift more weight and shift into the body I believe I have.

The mandarin is my symbol of health. Each bite is juicy and sweet, but it is small, round and well portioned. Easy to access, good to the last drop.

Action over health is not difficult per-se, but about diligence and confidence. Adjustment and alignment to a new way of looking at each day.
