A Colorful Conversation

by Sarah Jenks on July 15, 2010

Last month I had the pleasure of participating in “A Colorful Conversation,” a Bella Life event hosted by Nitika Chopra, founder of Bella Life, Toni Lastella, a Health Counselor and Partner of Sun in Bloom restaurant in Brooklyn, and myself. The theme was Healthy Living , so I had the opportunity to speak to the women in attendance about my personal struggle with losing weight and show them what they can learn from my journey.

The even was fantastic and I was able to connect with so many great women!

All I had to do was follow the plan, and I would lose ten pounds, feel happy, make more friends, be better at sports and maybe just maybe get a cute sixth grade boyfriend.  God, I wanted a boyfriend.
