Dance so you can fly......

The last few years have been really like a new birth for me

I'm not just talking about the weight loss, although that's where it started.... I see now how all the new age nut jobs are actually a lot closer to the truths than I thought...

let me explain...

For years I raised dogs.... and part of that was rehabbing bad, out of control, aggressive, nervous dogs.... dogs of all sorts sizes and temperments....

I often had 20+ dogs running around my house ranging in size from 2.5 lb chihuahua....
(try carrying THAT around with you when you weigh 320 lbs! ha I dare you!) to a 110 lb lab with a couple of pit bulls thrown in the middle....and I never had a problem....

within a few hours... days at MOST.... every dog was behaving properly, was coming when called, was sharing food from the same trough, yes we used a trough lol and there were no problems.... and when people asked me HOW???? I would look at them honestly confused and answer.... because that's what they are SUPPOSED to do.... but it's not...lol... they SHOULD have fought like crazy.....eaten the chihuahua and tore my house apart.....20 dogs???? pitbulls backing away from food bowls for chihuahua's???.....madness!!!! BUT.......it's what "I" expected to happen.... I "knew" what I wanted ... and it just happened.... that's the way it is.......

when puppy people would leave with my puppies... I always told them.... what you want your puppy to know a year from now.... start expecting TODAY.... and inevitably the people who had NEVER had a puppy before... who had NO preconcieved idea's about WHAT to expect and who TRUSTED the breeders word....would call me back in a week or two with stories of how awesome the puppy was doing, how wellbehaved he/she was. and amazingly to me how 90% of these puppies were housebroken.

They would take my puppies out to puppy classes and vet appointments and the feedback from the professionals was always positive....my puppies were usually the best behaved most outgoing puppies in the class and my puppy people would call back to say the vet or whoever had credited me for raising such awesome puppies..... but that wasn't what it was.... These people were EXCITED.... they had a new puppy and they were in love!... and they had TRUSTED me that I knew what I was saying so when they went home they believed that the perfect dog they wanted was just a matter of practising what they wanted a year from now NOW....

The magic isn't in anything I did with those puppies before they left.... the magic was in the people trusting that it could be done.... they saw my dogs.... and felt how comfortable it was there and they knew I was there to support them so they felt confident and carried that back with them..... that's the magic... just believing you can do it will get it done... for real....


you fail because you believe you will fail... because you don't honestly believe it's possible....

I'm telling you you're ALREADY SKINNY.......you're just skinny on the inside... the beautiful you is there.... you're still shining......perhaps just a little candle flame.... but it's there...you just have to believe that it's your time...... and it will be....

trust me..........come dance with me and I'll teach you to fly
