Start Manifesting Your Dreams

Janice Taylor, Our Lady of Weight Loss "CUCKOO self-portrait"Melissa Wadsworth, Dream Leader, recently spoke with Janice Taylor, Our Lady of Weight Loss (me!). Melissa is amazing person, with whom I have much in common. First and foremost, our love of glue, scissors and paper. We are both collagists and use our art to manifest our dreams. My dream - to not only lose over 50 pounds, but to reinvent myself; and Melissa to create her own 'dream' business. Here follows the interview. Be sure to visit Melissa's site!

Melissa Wadsworth on Janice Taylor: Weight Loss Fun and aHA Moments!

I just had a great AHA! as I was talking with "Our Lady of Weight Loss" Janice Taylor. She was talking about the fact that many of us see weight loss as difficult. She says, "weight loss is as difficult as you make it."

Ding, ding, ding, light bulbs went off in my head. I realized that I think having abundance in my personal potential coaching business can be easy. Creating intuitive dream boards can be the most amazing and easy process ever, but I realized I still hang on to the perspective that losing weight is a very, very, very difficult endeavor. Huh? How freeing it would be to change that thought!

Janice Taylor is a coach, guided imagery innovator, motivational speaker, and author of All is Forgiven MOVE ON: Our Lady of Weight Loss's 101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville, and she's the only person I've ever heard of who dares to make the subject of weight loss fun! What a great gift to the world.

"I can be serious, but I'm never heavy," says Janice (no pun intended), who contended with a lifelong weight problem and who has managed to maintain her 50-pound weight loss for more than eight years. "People tell me I come across as the least judgmental person on the planet. Who am I to judge others?"

Just in speaking with Janice I sense the loving, peaceful and playful qualities that must attract people who are tired of beating themselves up about how they look and who want a kinder, more enjoyable way to approach their physical, emotional and even spiritual well-being. ,,, for the fully skinny, Read On!

Sundae Puzzle: Mandala - the perfect circle

Click to Mix and Solve

This week's Sundae Puzzle is inspired by my yesterday's visit to the Rubin Museum. Well, actually it was inspired by my visit to the Rubin Museum's gift shop, which housed many books and gifts that were from India and Tibet.

Lakshmi, is the Hindu and Jain goddess of wealth, prosperity and good fortune. The consort of Vishnu, she is said to have taken different forms to be with him in each of his incarnations. She is a principal object of worship during Divali, when her presence is sought in homes, temples, and businesses for the whole of the year to come.


The Exhibit that I saw was worth seeing, as well!
Art's Mandala: The Perfect Circle
"This exhibition explores the mandala, one of Tantric Buddhism's most widely used meditational tools. Although mandalas have been assigned any number of definitions, from magic circles to cosmic diagrams, few of these meanings are either specific or expansive enough. The exhibition seeks to both refine and deepen our understanding of the mandala, decoding its structure, meaning, and related practices."

Watch the online exhibition!

Happy Birthday Obama: Sugar-free Cake for the President

Weight Loss Art: Pious Project #1 - Sewn Birthday Cake

In honor of President Obama's 48th birthday, I sewed him a piece of sugar-free, carb-free, fat-free cake! Yes, you heard me right.

Given President Obama's healthy lifestyle and ability to think out of the donut box, I thought he would appreciate the concept of an everlasting piece of cake. So instead of baking him a cake, I sewed him a piece.

It's what I do. I am a Weight Loss Artist. Instead of eating (certain) foods, I make art about them, and in the process lose weight. (50 pounds!) Sound kooky? Well, you know, having fun and being creative is essential when it comes to the battle of the bulge. Seriously, how many people are successful following the old way that solely focuses on food and exercise?

Here, at Our Lady of Weight Loss, we believe in fun. So, if you want to know how to sew yourself a piece of cake, write me. I'll send you the instructions. FYI ... if you are interested in more Weight Loss Arts & Crafts, pick up a copy of Our Lady of Weight Loss: Miraculous and Motivational Musings from the Patron Saint of Permanent Fat Removal. Chock a block with motivation, useful information, recipes, fun and easy art projects and it's an Oprah Book Club, Summer Reading 2009 pick!
