About Me

I'm a 64 year old married woman.  I'm a caretaker for my mom who has alzheimer.  She has been living with us going on 4 years.  I have two wonderful children and two grandchildren.  I also have a stepdaughter and two stepgrandsons.  They are all the loves of my life besides my best friend and buddy, my husband.  I'm very nurturing and of course provide caretaking for anyone who needs it.   I don't usually take time to care for myself.  This is the year I am going to do it.  I am impressed with the 17 day diet and I started it on 1 January.  I haven't decided whether I should weigh once a week or just wait until the 17 days are up.  Whichever, I'm feeling better already.  I'm hoping to succeed and to eventually come of the meds I'm taking for my blood pressure, depression and cholesterol.  My dream would be to travel with my husband, but right now that is impossible.  The last thing I purchased for a friend is a rose.  She is my best friend that I usually take care of, but at the moment she is in a nursing home.

Hi Odette, I have miss you on the Spiritual page lately.  this is for you!!!!

Dear Lord I come before you today to ask you to put your hand on each one of my friends here. We all need your help in one way or another, and have all the faith in you as you have asked us.


I ask you to keep the safe as they travel to work and home, keep there angel with them in there time of need. I wish to Thank You Lord for alway being there for us. We know you are a kind and gentle God, and you will let us struggle with our day to day problem and are just waiting for us to “ASK FOR YOUR HELP

You want us to ask you for help each and every day and not to struggle on our own. Forgive us as we try to work it out on our own, and only when we come to the end of our rope do we turn to you.

I am making a Promise to you today Lord, “I will always ASK FOR YOU HELP AND LET YOU TAKE CARE OF THE REST” So for those who are reading this, I ask  all of you to do the same.  ♥¸ . ♥¸ .♥

Hi tifa,  Sorry, I've been away for a few weeks.  My husband came home and we have been very busy.  Needless to say I haven't been as good with the program as I should have been, but I'm back now and I will need to jump start this program again.  ♥ ♥  odette

Hello how are you doing? I am good no complaints. I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you I did get the book by marianne. However, I have not opened it. I am still reading made to crave. I have been lazy. Just a little tired. I will get back into reading tomorrow God willing. Have a blessed day and thanks for the book title ♥♥♥

tifa,   I am pleased to have you as a friend and I know what you mean when you say the book is talking to you.  I felt the same way when I read A Course on Weight Loss.  Even though we are adults and we know what we should or should not do, we still need guidance.    I got my book on my Nook and I bookmarked many pages electronically, so I guess it is like highlighting a real book.  :)    Please keep in touch and I hope that it is okay that I addressed you by your first name.   Have a blessed day also.,,  Odette
