I have a simple compass I keep handy. Although I no longer need it, my iPhone’s maps and digital compass have replaced it. I like to look at my simple compass every once in a while. I pick it up, hold it in my hand, and let it find true north. It causes me to reflect on the direction of my life. Do I know where I’m going? Do I know where I’ve come from? Do I know where I am? I’m not stuck in one place if I don’t like it. I can change my direction and find my true north.
The nightingale is sweet of song;
The rare exotic smells divinely;
And knightly men who stride along,
The role heroic carry finely.
But then, upon the other hand,
Our minds have got a way of running
To things that aren’t quite so grand,
Which, maybe, we are best in shunning.
For some of us still like to see
The poor man in his dwelling narrow,
The hollyhock, the bumblebee,
The meadow lark, and chirping sparrow.
We like the man who soars and sings
With high and lofty inspiration;
But he who sings of common things
Shall always share our admiration

That means zeroing in on a short list of commonly eaten foods—some to minimize, and others to increase—could play an important role in helping you achieve and maintain better weight management results.
“One day you finally knew / what you had to do, and began . . .” (Mary Oliver). Imagine knowing what life was calling you to do and the call was a roaring noise you couldn’t dismiss. Would you cast aside all the distractions, naysayers, doubters, and angry voices that try to dissuade you from beginning? You’ll know when you know and when you know you are caught in a zero – sum game where there are only two choices. Either answer the call with a resounding yes, or make an excuse and turn away from it. I think we hear this call numerous times during our lives. It may be asking something different of us. It may be challenging us. it may be asking us to push boundaries we never believed we could push. Are you ready to begin?
