I got to spend this past weekend celebrating my dear friend, Melanie, in her wedding! It was my first time being a bridesmaid (photo to the right) and my honor to stand beside my friend as she welcomed a new chapter into her life. On the day itself, not only did she feel beautiful, but so did I.

What does being a bridesmaid have to do with this week's BIT? A lot.

See, there was a time when I wouldn't have been able to feel beautiful beside the bride because I was stuck within the confines of comparison. You know, those times when you cannot stop comparing your body to someone else's. When you constantly come up short and feel worthless and insecure.

That's right, I'm seeing RED...on my head!

And this week, I wanna talk about what that choice has done for me. It's fall. A new season. A new beginning.

I was craving a change. I was feeling kinda stuck. So I went for it...and I gotta say, it was worth it.

Or, worse, I felt too fat & ugly to treat myself. Have you ever done that? Knew you needed new clothes, but wouldn't go shopping because you put on a little weight and didn't want to go up a size. I hear ya!

I was right there with ya for a very long time. But the thing is, by withholding...

Are your friends and family inhibiting you from sticking to your health goals and intentions? Sometimes our closest friends and family can be our biggest obstacles when making new lifestyle adjustments.

The pressure is often so much that we actually give in and sacrifice our greatest desires in health in order to please everyone else or stop the ridicule.

Well, with Labor Day just passing I thought you would appreciate these three tips on honoring yourself & your goals without hurting anyone else's feelings.

Boy, what a week it's been! So much good stuff is happening over here.

New websites. New campaign members. New programs. New lifestyle choices. I can't wait to share it all with you! Very soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd let you all in on my new secret weapon for soft, glowing skin.

I'm tellin' ya, I am amazed at the effectiveness of this simple action. I've been consistently doing "it" for two weeks and my skin has never felt or looked better. Watch me share it with you (in my bathroom no less) in the video below.

Guarantee your skin will be smoother too!

Hi Beautiful Community, As a heart-preneur, I'm always seeking inspiration. Ways to open up to more creativity, joy & upliftment. Thus my desire to experience live music. Nothing gets my juices flowing more! If you feel the same way, you might just love tapping into your own theme song! (http://bit.ly/ruXnjC) Just a little somethin' I use often.

Anyway, I got to see Adele LIVE this week. And I am jumping up and down...still on fire! In today's video, I'll share an invaluable lesson I learned from her. Get it for yourself below this post, or click the link here: http://on.fb.me/bodyheartadele In the comments below this video, I'd love to hear how you plan to implement this lesson into your life this week.
