Welcome to Lean & Luscious Corner—Our Place to
Meet, Share, Care, and Inspire
I am delighted to welcome
you to Lean & Luscious Corner!
What a wonderful way to share with you my passion for helping people embrace
the possibilities of eating healthfully and taking control of their lives.
There’s no greater reward
than knowing I’ve played a part in someone’s journey toward greater health—learning
to be kind to themselves; experiencing the joy that comes along with a fuller,
more active life; and, of course, enjoying tasty, satisfying good-for-you food
with their families!
When I started my own
journey toward living a healthy lifestyle, tackling my food issues and learning
to love myself, I didn’t have the Internet as a resource. But today, I can get
online to support people as they explore a new, healthier way to eat. Plus, it’s
a fun new way for me to spread my wings, too: I’m an Area Director of Weight
Watchers, a public speaker, a restaurateur, an author of the Lean & Luscious Cookbook series, and a women’s health activist, and now—a blogger in the great big world of the
Internet! I love the sound of that.
After all, I’m always
thinking of the next thing to do to make someone’s life easier, and there are
so many things I want to tell the world about creating a healthy life! In my work
as a Weight Watchers franchisee and owner of The Shape Shop restaurants in West Virginia, I’ve had the pleasure
of meeting new people every day. But with so many of us turning to the web for
information about healthy eating, is there a better place than the Internet to
make new friends and extend my mission to help people?
So many of you are looking
up low-fat recipes, searching for health tips and participating in food-focused
online communities in an effort to feel good and share our stories. I want to
be a part of the conversation, and I want us to take our journey toward a
healthy lifestyle together. I hope to bring you information, inspiration, and
motivation—but I want to learn from you too! We have a tremendous capacity to
help one another.
Just as my Lean & Luscious Cookbook series
provides a roadmap to a life of delicious, good-for-you eating the whole family
can enjoy, my vision for the Lean &
Luscious Corner blog is that it helps you pick up the tools and motivation
you need to change. My hope is that you’ll share these insights with your
entire family, so you can learn and grow together. Think of Lean & Luscious Corner as a cozy spot
on the web where you’re always welcome. I look forward to building a safe,
kind, and inspiring community where we can share our ideas and successes...and
celebrate a lean and luscious life!
And if you like Lean & Luscious Corner, please tell
your friends!
