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.

Member Since: 5/25/2010

Fitness Minutes: 7,140

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!

    Dear Carolyn, I’m remiss in not having replied for such a long time! I don’t feel stressed any more by online teaching, but it does take more preparation, and mid-term testing is on top of that, but it always is.

    You ARE cute! Sometimes I love the word, and in your case, I do, both in appearance and nature, but “sweet” and loving fit better for nature. When I see trim young Japanese women, I sometimes wish I could go back to their age, but then I think, physically yes, but in other ways being young is hard.

    I think all of Japan is enjoying sunny weather today. I hope you’re keeping well.
    Stay warm and safe!

    I was so excited about my discovery and I really appreciate the support.
    There are so many different paths to our goals and assorted ways to determine success.
    There is room for all of us at this Spark table

    Hi Carolyn,

    Thinking or you and I hope you and your family are doing well.
    It's been a really crazy year and I am so ready for 2021, with hope that with the New Year, there will be better times ahead.

    Have a great rest of your week!

    Hugs,
    Jackie

    Hi Carolyn,
    sending best wishes for a fabulous day. We have had some very windy weather and I've been stuck inside which you know I do not like. Hoping tomorrow will be sunny so I can get out and power walk out there in the fresh air.
    Hope you are having a great start to your week and you are getting your fitness in..

    Hugs Susan
