Why redefine?

Married to an English teacher, one might think I had an understanding of the IMPORTANCE of words but it wasn't until recently that I started my redefinition (of words) journey. Growing up, when I was taught something I learned. I never questioned if the person teaching was right or if there was only the ONE way we were being taught to get the end result. I just did. I was always so thankful for those who took the time to help me learn from all aspects of life and I still am but I am also I have taken the time and had the courage to explore the teachings taught and the definitions behind the words leading the way.

When I started my journey 7 years ago, I started with weight loss because I knew I needed the energy and strength to endure the the journey of the emotional change. As I gained physical strength I began to peel off the layers of emotional stress. Below I share how redefining certain words have lead to the BIGGEST changes of my life.
