MISSION

I’m crying as I’m writing this page because I sooooooo want to be able to convey to you what I feel in my heart – what I feel in every cell of my body – what I feel in every molecule of my being about WHY I created THE PLUS SIZE INNER PEACE NETWORK.

 

MY MISSION – THE NUTSHELL VERSION

If you want the short version of my mission – in a nutshell – here it is:

To completely transform all feelings of GUILT, SHAME, BLAME, ANGER, FRUSTRATION, RESENTMENT, UNFORGIVENESS and SELF-LOATHING related to how much you weigh or how you see yourself and help you develop and maintain a deep inner knowing of your Power, Peace and Potential as the exquisite, unique beauty that you ALREADY are, right this minute, exactly as you are!

And if that sounds good to you – then you might as well read the rest of it!

 

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Let me give you a little bit of background so you know where I’m coming from.

I’ve weighed well over 250 pounds for the vast majority of my 57+ years . I was a fat baby, a fact which emotionally terrified both of my parents because of their own self-esteem issues and the way they were raised by their parents. One of the first stories I remember being told was how they put me on skim milk as soon as I was off formula, because they were so concerned about my weight.

You have to remember, that was back in the early 1950’s – so things were different back then. They did the best they could – I honestly believe that – but their fears pervaded everything about my childhood and adolescence and it’s taken me a very, very long time and a huge amount of effort and determination to overcome those early messages of something being fundamentally wrong with me because of what I weighed.

When I finally decided to go to therapy of my own accord in my late 20s, my therapist asked me to use 3 words to identify myself – so she could have an idea of where to begin our work together. I thought about it for a long while, and the words that kept reverberating in my head were:

FAT

BAD

WRONG

 

And THAT is why I created THE PLUS SIZE INNER PEACE NETWORK!

  • It’s for every little girl inside every now grown woman, who still feels she is BAD or WRONG because of her size or shape.
  •  It’s for every woman who feels SHAME when she looks in the mirror or walks down the street.
  •  It’s for every woman who feels GUILTY when she eats something that has more calories than celery and carrot sticks.
  • And it’s for every woman who has tried every diet on the planet and every non-diet and every other “thing” desperately trying to lose weight and never making (or staying at) her  so-called “target” weight and feeling like a FAILURE because of it!

 

THE PLUS SIZE INNER PEACE NETWORK is for you!

  • It’s about believing in your worth and value as a human being EXACTLY AS YOU ARE no matter what dress size you wear!
  • It’s about knowing your beauty isn’t defined by the media or cultural norms or by some set of insurance standards!
  • It’s about learning how to let go of every thought that makes you feel less than the Glorious Child of God that you are!

And it’s about learning how to deeply and truly love ALL of you (yep – I mean it!)!

THE PLUS SIZE INNER PEACE NETWORK not only ACCEPTS you no matter what size you are, but it ADORES you no matter what size you are!

This is a safe, compassionate, kind and caring place to share your fears and concerns about being in a plus size body – the practical life stuff like asking for a seat-belt extension on an air plane, and the inner-mind game stuff – like how to actually BELIEVE you are beautiful.

I will be sharing with you all the life lessons I’ve learned as a women of sizeable size (LOL). There will be classes, products and resources – some free and some not – that will support you in raising your self-confidence, your self-esteem and your self-image so that you can stand tall and proud when you look in the mirror or walk through a crowded mall.

And all of us together will be creating a Community of like-minded souls – offering each other experience, strength and hope in a whole new way of camaraderie and mutual support!

 

You are SOOO VERY welcome here!

I bow to your beauty – just as you are!

 

Namaste!
