Why OnePinky?

pinkypromise5-

People ask me all the time, why did you name your
company/community/brand OnePinky?

I love to tell the story of how I learned to appreciate my body for
what it does, not what it looks like, starting with my pinky finger.

A wise young woman (who was around my age at the time, mid twenties),
named Mary who I met back when I was releasing my weight inspired this
in me. She said out loud one day, "I know what is it like to hate my
body. And yet, it is hard to make my fingers and toes wrong. They are
just being fingers and toes and yet they are so important to how we
move and get through our lives. She went on to say, try not having some
fingers and toes and I bet life would feel a bit more challenging."

These comments inspired me to appreciate my body for what it did,
rather than how it looked. Because at the time I was obese, miserable
and I could not find one thing to like about my body.

She and I ended up making a pinky promise with one another to make
baby steps to loving our bodies starting with our pinky's.

Twenty three years later, I think about that experience daily and I
hope that wherever she is, she is at peace with her body, as I am with
mine.

I invite you to join me on my campaign to create more appreciation and
love and respect for our bodies, starting with our pinky's.

Loving your body can be as simple as loving a single finger on your
hand. When I began my personal self love journey and could find nothing
about myself to love, a friend suggested I try just one pinky. "You
have to start somewhere," Nearly 23 years later, the loving remark has
stayed with me and I have since discovered the joys of loving my entire
body. Could you start today by loving just one little pinky?

What does OnePinky mean to you?

Here is a place to start. Play with some acronyms, such as....

One

New

Experience

Promises

Insights,

Nourishment, and

Kindness to

Yourself

OR

Pinkypromise1-

O Openness
N Nurturing
E Educational

P Powerful
I Intuitive
N Now
K Kindness
Y Yes

I would love to see what you come up with.

Blessings,

Chief Pinky

P.S. Take this in. Begin wtth Pinky steps. Prior to teaching a baby
how to walk- it is critical that he or she begins to crawl- everyone
can attest to that. If you do too many things all at once, your body
will go into a state of relapse. Let your body ease in to. Feed it one
step at a time. Alot of small steps lead to great things.

Change, Transition and Pink Cats?

fall-

Fall...leads to...

Fall is here. I love Fall, ( however, I used to dread it).

However, I am not a huge fan of Winter which comes next as you know. A
couple of years ago I decided that the best way for me to get over my
frustration about the Winter is to accept it, hook line and sinker. One
way for me to do that is to welcome Fall with open arms. It's just
easier to embrace it rather than dread it. Of course, the irony of all
of this is that dreading anything in the future takes us way out of the
present moment which is the only thing we really have. This moment.

But, here we are on the near finish line of 2010.

A little under 4 months to go.

I would be lying if I said that this year has been an easy one for me.

2010 has been a great transition period in my life. Some days
transition feels like limbo.

:) :):)

I asked for this transition and while it has been a huge gift in many
ways, there have been many mornings I woke up feeling lost. While I
know that feeling is all part of my journey, it feels lonely and
challenging many days.

On the positive side, I have been blessed to take time to complete my
book, and to go inside and see what I really wanted.

At the same time, I have stayed in action on the answers I receive from
the universe and am practicing patience on so many levels.

I also have taken many moments to find silly thing that make me laugh
such as this.

My Pink Kitty-

Movement Led Me to Patience

As a body image mastery mentor, you can imagine how important movement
is in my life. Last Fall, I took a class to challenge my body. It was
called Black Diamond Glutes and it certainly challenged me. I blogged
about it, talked about it and I really enjoyed it. However, it really
hurt my left knee. I had surgery years prior on my right knee and so
this knee drama has been going on for years.

I LOVE to work out (it was not always true for me and it is now). It is
a BIG part of my self-care. It is how I honor my body, the one true
home that my soul gets to live in, and it is how I honor my spirit. I
truly appreciate and own the emotional peace and relief that comes from
60 minutes of exercise a day - so much so that I often do two or three
times that much. Not any more though. Now, I basically take all of the
effort I used to put into exercising my body, and pour it into being
PATIENT with it instead.

I suppose that one of the lessons I am privileged to learn through my
injury is a renewed understanding of the issues many of my clients
face. Because one of the side effects of not being able to exercise is
that I am gaining a little weight. The myriad of feelings around this,
and turning my expertise INWARD, has been really meaningful. You see,
body image mastery is absolutely NOT about weight. It's about honoring
ourselves from the INSIDE out. It's about creating enough self-love and
self-care that we no longer abuse ourselves with food in any way. No
binging. No starving. In fact, after a while, body image mastery leads
to a love affair with food - HEALTHY food. It leads to loving your body
so much that you WANT to exercise - partly to BE healthy and partly
just to CELEBRATE.

My primary work in the world is to be healthy, physically, emotionally
and spiritually and I am! However, things like an unexpected weight
gain can feel troubling. And even though I know the weight will release
itself, it is not always easy. I am here to practice what I preach by
observing my fearful thoughts and watching them come and go. So yes, I
am holding on to my deep love and appreciation for my body and taking
care of it while it heals. Every day, I kiss my left knee, I talk to
it and let it know it is healing and loved so much. I treat it like I
would a little baby. I pray for it. I meditate on it and I trust it is
healing. We can do that to every body part we have. Our body will drink
it up. Who doesn't want to be loved up? I do!!!!

I have a tradition that in the beginning of every year, I pick an angel
card that dictates my word for the year. This year I picked
willingness! I love that word. And still I am adding another important
word to represent this year. PATIENCE. Patience has really become my
keyword for 2010.

What is your word for this year?

For the last 4 remaining months this year?

I welcome hearing from you.

Accepting and Allowing August In

Sunset-

Life is, for the most part, the way we see it. So, when life's not
fair - it may be time to check your focus" -Robert Schuller

Every month I choose a word to focus on as an intention for that month
and this month's word is "Acceptance".

Accepting my health, my body, my mental and emotional state in the
moment as they are.

Accepting that every feeling state can change and improve if I allow it
and cease resisting it.

August, Acceptance and...

Another "A" word, Allow.

An affirmation for every day this month could be, "I allow Peace and
Love to energize my body, and heal whatever needs healing. I accept
this process with Patience".

When I was thinking about August, I began playing with acronyms and
here are something's I came up.

* A Acknowledge, Acceptance, Awareness, Action, Allow
* U Uplift, Unconditional Love
* G Give, Gather, Gratitude
* U Undo, Unearth, Uncover (those things that no longer serve you)
* S Sustenance, Surprises, Sunshine, Seeking, Self love and Self Care
(is necessary, not selfish)
* T Thankfulness for all that IS working in your life

What words would you like to add?
How might you apply some of these concepts to yourself care program
this month?

Self care is a cornerstone of self love and self love will lead us to
greater physical, spiritual and emotional health.

When one mind is changed the world is changed. -CIM

I am committed to changing my own mind by taking pinky steps when
change feels challenging.

Change is a gift. And it is difficult for our minds to believe and yet
resistance is a gift too.

Change and resistance offer us opportunities to go deeper into our
process of who we are and what we are seeking in terms of having a body
we feel great about.

I read this quote the other day, "I have learned to use the word
impossible with great caution". I love that as I believe in what is
possible, rather than what is impossible.

What is your word for this month?

I welcome your sharing that here.

And one more thing from me. I offer complimentary consultations about
my one on one weight release mentoring and I am interviewing for my
next 12 week Body Image Mastery course. Please feel free to email me
to set up a time to speak, laura@onepinky

Love is the Answer-

A cheerful mind has always been a perfect guide to a healthy body.
