Yes, it's true........I have not missed 1 day in 2 years on the Leona Miller 14 Day Challenge!  I wouldn't say it has been difficult but has been challenging.  First, establishing a morning routine and sticking to it can be slightly tough.  There were days when it felt like I should skip to work a little more or clean up a mudslide in the backyard.  Nothing deterred me.  It really became driveway first, everything else second.  I am proud and amazed of my dedication!  Today is the beginning of year 3.  This is very exciting and fills me with hope in all aspects of my life!

Every spring I am in awe of ferns new shoots sprouting.  Seeing them unfold in the morning light is magnificent.  A feeling that anything is possible fills my soul.

Never ever did I plan for my challenge to be at part 52 -2 years! Actually, if I started this as the Leona Miler 104 week Challenge it never would have happened.  Learning this lesson has transformed me.  The impossible has become possible by simply breaking the challenge into very small parts.  I remember feeling quite depressed by my increasing weight and declining health.  14 days seemed like enough time to see if this had the potential to help me.  I needed a shift in a healthy direction.  My first 14 days sparked my mental and physical healing.  The spark kept me going from week to week.  Now, this is part of my morning routine just like brushing my teeth.  I need this like I need air to breath.  Creating the second half of my life to be strong healthy and successful depends on the LM14DC.  Anything is possible when tackled in small parts.  I can do anything :)

This tulip is stunning to me.  The colors are magnificent and the yellow star shape is perfect.  I am so grateful for this springtime beauty.  This time of year feels like anything is possible.  It is renewing and exploding with bright colors.  My regular routine feels new with the season change and I am so happy to stare at all the beauty.

In my world it seems each day is filled with a challenge or two.  It can be a self imposed challenge like the Leona Miller 14 Day Challenge or a random event to add to the challenges of the day.  The benefits of my regular exercise routine have cleared a path for present moment thinking.  Completing my workout each morning gives me 30 minutes of mind clearing time.  Oxygen is flowing through my body while admiring each beautiful morning.  I have found that no matter how my day starts from the moment I open my eyes it somehow feels more balanced after my workout.  A feeling of calm and strength fills me. Nothing has changed except for giving my mind a rest.  Shutting the excessive thinking off opens up your soul to the world and clears the mind to see worry and stress accomplish nothing.  Letting go of everything everything for this short time is magical!
