What Matters Most, or; The Ride

I started this book writing journey called "stop speating" with a 90 day challenge to stop flopping from diet to diet and budget to budget
.
 It was suppose to be a simple experiment. What I learned was so much more. 90 days turned into a year of exploring my deep attachment to methods, systems and plans. I had no idea how much of my life had been consumed by planning what I ate and spent. This realization rocked me to the core. As I listened to conversations, read articles and started paying attention, I realized I was not alone in this. It's like when you are pregnant and you suddenly realize how many pregnant people are suddenly all around you. This changed everything for me, as well as the direction of the book. My new journey was not to just stop the merry go round of diets and budgets, but to recreate who held the place in the center of my universe and make things right. God is so kind and gentle in the way he reminds us that He holds the keys to real change. Looking back over this past year as I have been working on the book, I have gained more than I ever expected, and it can't be measured in pounds or pennies. I am overcome with gratefulness.
