Live Right and Love Life


I'm here for the camaraderie. I love my Spark neighborhood. I'm grateful to you all for being a bright spot in my life.

Fitness Minutes: 6,815

My Goals:
My main goal is to be healthy in body and spirit so that I can live the right kind of life.

My Program:
 Eat properly. Forget about food at the end of every meal. Weigh once a week. Do not obsess. Do not limit life in any way because of body size.


Personal Information:
I'm from a tiny town in Georgia (with no traffic lights), but now I live in Kobe, Japan. I'm married to a Japanese and have three bilingual, bicultural children--a son, 30, a daughter, 28, and a daughter, 23. I teach English to Japanese company workers, 99% of whom are men. I like my job.

Other Information:
 I love reading. One of my favorite books is Fred Chappell's novel "Brighten the Corner Where You Are." And if I could state my philosophy, the title of that book would be IT!

    Carolyn, your comment about dessert after lunch and dinner so resonated with me. My parents were from Kansas, and that's similar. I would go visit my great aunt and same thing, pie for dessert after lunch then a chocolate cake. I loved those chocolate sheet cakes; they actually served it at the reception we had after my dad's service and it really took me back. I so appreciate that I like fruit and glad it's good and plentiful in Japan. I'm eating grapes, cherries, and some nectarines now!
