I am on my first day back on LL and decided to look for a little inspiration (thinspiration more like it!) and what you have written is just ringing bells in my head. Up until November last year (when I reached my first LL goal) I didnt have a dream. I came to the UK nearly 9 years ago...was it to live a dream? not at all, it was an escape from the situation that my parents forced me into when they got divorced. I now have a dream because I have realised that I am allowed to think for myself, and am responsible for my own decisions (oh how you learn that on a VLCD!). My dream is to persue my career in a sunny country and wear that bikini on that famous beach...well I am 10 weeks away from that dream...only you can make your dreams become a reality... wow, what an amazing post.

Your entry is beyond touching... and you know what? You CAN do it. I felt very trapped at times by my life in London. If I hadn't been sacked from my job, I'd probably still be there, working at a job that I hated, looking out the window during meetings and wishing that I could quit. I didn't realize then how much power that I had to change the landscape of my own life, that we all have that power if we're willing to take a risk. It doesn't matter that you don't know what you want to do yet. Once your heart and mind are open to it, your dream will find you. Just keep your eyes open. And let me know how you're getting on. I'll keep watching your blog. Bests, Kathleen Flinn Hey, a friend sent me the link to your site. Your entry is beyond touching… and you know what? You CAN do it.
