Quotes

"The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams." – Eleanor Roosevelt

"Let women take care of themselves and make themselves beautiful, and if any of you are so superstitious and ignorant as to say that this is pride, I can say that you are not informed as to the pride which is sinful before God, you are also ignorant as to the excellency of the heavens, and of the beauty there. Were you to see an angel, you would see a beautiful and lovely creature. Make yourselves like angels in goodness and beauty."
A Noted Theologian

"I’m sorry I didn’t start to look better for Ray while he was still alive. But you know, he always said he saw me as young and beautiful no matter how old and fat I got. If I said, ‘I’m a mess,’ he’d say, ‘Yes – a mess of loveliness.’ After taking Barbara’s class, I was thrilled with the difference in my self-confidence, and my children say they didn’t know their mother was capable of tackling new and exciting challenges on her own. I believe God places opportunities along the paths of his children, hoping we will find the courage to reach out and help ourselves to new experiences."
Elizabeth Murphy, participant of A New You

"After a physical, I saw my medical file at the doctor’s office," Sonja Jensen reported. I knew I was overweight, but it was a real shock to read that I was ‘morbidly obese.’ I went to Barbara’s class with the idea that anything she could teach me I needed to learn. I’m down to 136 pounds and a size 10, and loving it. Now I know it’s not selfish to spend time and money on myself. My family appreciates much more a mom who values herself enough to look her best, rather than a frazzled, self-sacrificing martyr."
