Kindling the fire

     My good friend Tom Vorjohan wrote the Foreword for my new book and in it he used a word that struck me, "fervor."  He was talking about my passion for weight loss and the way I attacked the goal and stuck with it.  I decided to look the word up and see what it actually means.  Like most people, I've heard the word used, but never really thought about what it meant.
     Fervor means intense and passionate feeling.  It comes from the Latin word fervere, which means to boil.  That is an adequate description of how I felt as I lost the wait.  I was on fire, I bubbled, I couldn't sit still.  Like a boiling pot, I often let my enthusiasm spill over, telling anyone who would listen about how I was meeting my goals and how easy it was.  I became imbued with a missionary passion for healthy living.  I want everyone to share my excitement and to achieve their own goals.
     Zig Ziglar said that the best way to get what you want out of life is to help as many other people as you can get what they want out of life.  That's why I am writing this blog and why I've written my book.  I hope to get you excited and help you along the way to a healthy lifestyle.
     Now, about the Kindling the Fire part.  I want to get you fired up, that's true, but the Kindle part is important, too.  As of today, Fat's Not Funny is available on Amazon Kindle.  If you have the e-reader and want to read my book right now before it comes out in print you can, for only $9.99.  Just search for it by my name or the title, Fat's Not Funny.
     Thanks to everyone who reads this blog and to all of you who have pre-purchased the paper version of the book.  Keep reading the blog.  I plan to share so much more as time goes by.
     Live your dreams, and help others live theirs as well.
