Inspiration from the most unexpected places

I was unexpectedly surprised today when I visited my girl, Tam's blog at
and found this fabulously moving video:



I was breathless when it ended and had tears in my eyes. Now, no one expected him to have THAT voice...but he did and we were all shocked...weren't we?

This week, if you haven't noticed already, Finding Flabuless has been all about excepting YOU, just as you are... even your quirky habits--or in the case of this car phone salesman--hidden talents.

This inspirational, soft spoken man...did just that, he accepted himself, and went out with such a quiet confidence--not to caring about the raised eyebrows and sarcastic sighs when he told them he wanted to sing OPERA, of all things--but, when he opened up his mouth and shared himself with us all...an amazing thing happened, everyone around him, Including ME & YOU, accepted him too...

That, my friends, is what it's all about...no matter what others tell you, the raised eyebrow, the silent mutterings behind your back, you are unique and talented and this is NOT dependent on what the scales say it IS however dependent on what you are telling yourself.

I love Tam's take on it:

...Nothing to do with fitness or weight loss, per se… but isn’t this journey about having courage, living our dreams, coming into our own? It is for me, and this man was inspiring!
