Chalk One Up For Big Girls!

I forgot to mention it sooner, but the beautiful and talented Melissa Lawson won Nashville Star. I am thrilled America picked their Star based on talent and not weight!!! (Although I have to give huge props to the runner up, Gabe Garcia, also extremely talented.

Here she is singing the winner's song "What If It All Goes Right?" Have a listen. I think the thoughts could apply to any journey we are on in life, including getting healthy and all the good life changes that can come from it.
