'Tis the season....to quit smoking for good!

This has been a year of big change for me and my family. Some of it was welcome and joyous and other changes were heart-wrenching and devastating.

While my husband and I celebrated moving into our new home, we were also  sharing what were to be our last months with a close family member. In fact, it was my sister who passed away at 59 years old, the day before her daughter's, my niece's wedding.  The range of emotion, the vast swings from one extreme of the emotional spectrum to the other left me reeling and with no energy or desire to think about doing anything for myself. As ridiculous as it sounds, the state of my health never crossed  my mind.  I smoked with impunity, unconsciously daring the Universe to have its way with me.  But instead of karma crashing down upon me, I started to feel  a gentle nudge, every now and again. 

Well the nudges caught my attention , and here I am now, making a new commitment to health and life. It's a little scary because I know how difficult it is to quit smoking for good. But I'm going to put it out there and ask for the EX Community to support me.  Send your tips, messages , anything that you think will be helpful. My quit date is 1/1/14 and I want to thank you in advance for helping me stay on track. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Here's to life!
