I had to share this great video with you. Out Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson was on the Today show. During the show Kathie Lee had to scold him for “sleeping in” as she introduces him. When you watch the video you will get to see his live on air reaction to her comments…
THIS IS LIVING LIFE OUT LOUD! Love it!

When I saw this cover, I freaked out! I am so excited to see the “new” 90210 and I am glad two of my favorites will be part of the show.
It is a comfortable feeling to know a show I loved growing up is returning and even including some of the characters from the original. I look forward to being addicted to the show once again and not missing any of the drama that takes place at West Beverly High.
The other part of me is prepared that I may not like the show. It won’t be the same as when I watched it and it might not appeal to me as it did long ago. I am older now so will I even relate to the high school drama? Will I consistently compare it to the old one?
This is why I do not live in the past. The past is long gone and all we have all the memories and the lessons learned. We have to move on from the past because we can not recreate it or relive it. Life is all about enjoying the present and making the future what we want it to be.
How can I watch the new 90210? By letting go of the old one and knowing this is a NEW show. The past is back there and I have to be open to the new students, new problems and new stories. It may or may not keep my attention but I will give it a chance because I am excited.
You truly have to let go of the past to move on and enjoy the present. What are you still holding on from the past that is keeping you from enjoying the present?

As most of you know by now, Desperate Housewives season finale was on Sunday and in the end of the 2 hour episode we were given a look into their future in 4 years.
This got me thinking about what my life would be like in 4 years. I started to daydream and wonder:
Now that I was able to spend sometime thinking about the future I have to start taking action to make it happen. How do I do that?
Well I have a vision of what I want it to be. I just need to keep the vision in the forefront of my life. I need to make sure I make my choices, decisions and actions to move me forward to know I want in 4 years.
I have to take my dreams and move them into reality. Easier said than done? That is what I am here for. To help other’s achieve their dreams by moving them into reality. All you have to do is ask…

You may not be able to read my shirt but it says Pellerbuilt. If you do not watch the TV show, Work Out then you wouldn’t know what I am talking about or who I am about to talk about.
Brian Peeler is a trainer featured on the Bravo show Work Out. There are tons of reasons to like Brian. His southern charm, his good looks or the fact he tells it like it is.
One thing I love about watching Peeler is his complete upfront honesty. Isn’t rare to find people who are truly honest? He isn’t rude or uncaring. He appears to have a heart of gold but he also builds strong relationships because of his honesty.
Isn’t easy to trust someone when you know what they stand for and what they expect from you?
Learning to be honest requires you to give up some of your ego and learn to speak from the heart. Being honest requires you to tell your friend you do not want to go to the movies with this week instead of making up an excuse to save their feelings.
We are afraid our friend will not like us but our friend would rather not have a lame excuse and hear the truth. We sometimes don’t want the guilt so we make up an excuse but being honest saves your conscience and your relationship with others.
I may not have had Peeler train me but I consider myself Peeler built because I practice complete honesty. Why don’t you give it a try?

“When you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don’t leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there’s no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”

Have you been able to watch this new show yet? Yes I told you to free yourself from television addiction but as you can see, I am still watching. 
The show is about woman struggling with self image issues. They do not like their bodies and Carson (the host) helps them through the process of creating a move positive prospective.
It starts out with a discussion about their personal views on their body. Carson then shows them a video of people on the street giving feedback on a giant image of woman’s body shown on a building. Of course, the people give a more positive image of their bodies.
The woman are then shown a line up of woman and asked to place themselves in line base on where they fit. (They may line up in order of thigh size) This is always amazes the woman because they tend to place themselves at the end of the line when they truly are smaller than they think.
They are then taking for a day of tips and hints to improve their self image based on buying clothing that truly fits. They are then challgened to move out of their comfort zone by an activity. One was wearing a bathing suit in front of others at a pool.
At the end of the show, they are made over and take a professional photo shoot naked to feel more comfortable with their bodies.
This is a great example of how to improve self image through steps:
Step 1 – Learning what you currently think of yourself
Step 2 – Getting feedback on that self image to find a “true” self image
Step 3 – Working on ways to improve your current self image
Step 4 – Push yourself outside your comfort zone to grow and build confidence
Step 5 – Celebrate where you are and make the event with an achievement
So what can you do to Look Better Naked?
