I just thought, Hmmm, there must be more to life than this. I decided to get some counselling. Little risk number one.

I thought I'd show my wonderful guests and members how I have changed throughout my inner work. During the development of my inner growth, I decided to take small risks, like doing university. When I found myself single again, I had to push myself to rejoin life. I sang at karaoke, I found the best job, I gave myself a 40th birthday party and sang with the band. I posed for an artist who wanted to paint a beautiful big woman. This was a huge thing for a woman who had body image issues. I did it though and can even show these to the world. Big woman are beautiful, we just need to own that. Love to you all...Jackie

I decided to apply, thinking I'd never get accepted. Then I thought "Well, if I pass the first assessment I'll keep going." I was smarter than I'd ever thought.
This photo was taken not long after I became single and graduated with a Bachelor of Social Science Degree. I felt the world was my oyster.
I had the best job in the world. Working in Mental Health Rehab meant some fun times. Including this karaoke and air guitar therapy.
This was a big risk but one I'd always dreamed of. Note the hole in the stocking. I was great.
Hey, I was Queen for a day and I managed this with a little help from my friends.
Luckily the guys were very patient with me. Go the Innocent Bystanders.
Good friends are what gives us our strength. Gotta luv em.
She is a darling.
I was asked by a local artist to pose for some photos. He wanted to paint a larger woman but couldn't find any volunteers. I used this to help me overcome some of my own body issues.
I'm a person who wont hop into a swimming pool because I don't like how I look. So, this was pretty huge for me.
We don't have to be size teeny tiny to be beautiful. Accepting yourself and pushing out of comfort zones a step at a time can invigorate your life.
I think the thing is, I've learned that I can love myself, accept myself and be proud of who I am. I certainally don't expect that everyone will take the same journey I did. This was my personal journey. Everyone has their own. If you go back and take a look at the woman who started, I think she is better for comming this far. There is still much to do in my life. I have much to learn and experience. I still want to ride a motorbike. I still want to be a successfull business woman. When we cease to learn and grow, we die on the inside. Love to you all...Jackie
I am the grandmother of four children. Three boys and one girl. They are all so beautiful. It's a learning curve to balance our lives. Some for us and some for work and some for our loved ones.
