How Did I Get Here?

Today, I give you a little background to help you understand where I am coming from as I start this journey back to Perfect Health....

I have been overweight my entire life and while I have lost weight in the past, I have always gained it back. This last time, I lost 60 pounds and had made major changes in how and what I ate and I was sure I would finally attain my goal weight. But then in June 2008, I began having a whole list of crazy health symptoms. In November 2008 I was finally diagnosed: Lyme Disease. From July 2008 to now, I have regained all the weight I had lost.

I have been miserable and for four months, I was basically bedbound. I felt my life was over. All my dreams were gone. I felt I offered nothing to my husband, who was doing EVERYTHING----cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kitties, taking care of ME.

In May, I had the amazing opportunity to meet Lisa Nichols and she told us about CEO Space. This was on a Wednesday and on the following Monday, I was in Reno, NV attending my first CEO Space Forum. At this forum, September Dohrmann, wife of the CEO and Founder of CEO Space, Berny Dohrmann spent some precious time with me and helped me to reframe the role of Lyme Disease in my life. I was also blessed to meet with several other people that helped me to change my thoughts about Lyme: Jacques Tombazian, Julie Ann Cohn and many others.

When I came home from CEO Space, my world began to fall apart. My husband had been laid-off. Two weeks before we were to move into a new home that we had built from the ground up, we lost the loan---so we had two weeks to find a new place to live and also mentally deal with not moving into our home. After moving, I became very ill as I had overdone myself trying to help Suresh, my husband, with the move. Then I attempted to work to help bring in money....it did not work.

Because of our new financial situation, I was not able to go to the CEO Space Forum in July and I was very bummed out about this. However, it turns out that I didn't need to go. I only needed to go to the local meeting here in Houston. For it was there that I met Michael Morningstar. Actually, it was my husband who met Michael and told him that he needed to meet me because I could help him with technology and Social Media.

And so Michael and I spoke. As we talked, we realized how we could help each other. And so now it starts. Officially, I would say that my transformation began Friday, August 14, 2009.

This will be a long journey, no doubt. But you are getting in at the very beginning, the best time to join in !!

Next post, I will talk about my experiences over the last week...leading up to the "first day of the rest of my life."

Announcing a Perfect Alliance!

I am so very excited to share with you a partnership that has been created between myself and my husband, Suresh, and an excellent Transformational Life Coach, Michael Morningstar! Michael is the Great NEWS Coach and he focuses not just on one area of life, but on Nutrition, Emotions, Wellness and Success. Check out his website for all his credentials: www.greatnewsperfecthealth.com or just click on the Title of this blog!

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at a local CEO Space meeting in July and it was there that an idea was born. I am going to be working with Micheal and while this may be not such an earth-shattering announcement, the fact that I will be sharing everything with you is!

You see, I will be chronicling my journey on this blog and also in a video blog. I already have my YouTube channel set up (KcBala77) and it's just waiting for my first video!! How fun this is!

I am going to be learning Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Michael has many, many other tools in his tool chest to help me deal with all the emotional baggage I've been carrying around for YEARS.

Michael is also going to be teaching me about nutrition, raw foods and other important ways to take care of my body, my mind and my spirit.

I am very excited about the journey I am embarking on. Follow with me. Let's learn together how to live a life of Perfect Health, despite Lyme Disease or any other issues I, or anyone else, may be dealing with.

To Your Greatness and Perfect Health!

What's it like to live with Lyme Disease?

People often do not understand just what I deal with every day as an individual who is currently dealying with Lyme Disease.

Often people think I am being lazy or just making excuses--especially when they see me on a good day and two hours or a day later, I can't even get out of bed.

It is very difficult for me to explain concisely what it is like dealing with Lyme. However, I found two things that help somewhat. The first is a documentary called, "Under Our Skin."

The second is an article written by Christine Miserandino and can be found on a website for Lupus, which incidentally is very similar in symptoms to Lyme Disease. I cannot reprint the article here but I can put up the link. I hope you will check out the article. It is only two pages, but it explains a lot.
