    Good Job Robin!! No, you would never tell someone they are fat. Always good to hear your positive approach to health care. Thank you for the reminder that it is o.k. to love and be kind to ourselves. Really a missing link, not taught my generation. Hugs Keri

  • Robin Mallery:

    Accepting ourselves, forgiving ourselves, and holding ourselves in compassion are all about self-love. This is not narcissism, but about softening our internal world just a bit, to let go of the harsh self-judgments we hold. This then liberates us to extend those same feelings of acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion to others–friends, family, and strangers–which then flows back into our own life; we end up creating and spreading joy within the world we live, and into the world at large. Thinking of this concept brings me a sense of gratitude for my ability to revel in love of self and others. It’s powerful and meaningful, yet you are correct in stating that it remains an unfamiliar and elusive awareness. We can shift that though, by inviting it into our own daily practice, modeling it for our children and family, and sharing it with others.

    And it was humorous to hear Tom say on air F-A-T…and shocking; not my choice of words! Thank you for listening to the interview.

"With you guiding me through the HeartMatters program, I was able to achieve a level of physical fitness that made regular and focused exercise feel more like a natural part of my day. I had slipped into a malaise that meant exercise could be ‘put aside’ for work or other important activities. Getting past this is a subtle but powerful accomplishment.

I really enjoyed playing and exercising with you outdoors (my preferred MO for our time together). The joy you bring to your work is wonderful. This flexibility put a kind of structure into my day that helped me ‘choose’ again – showed me how to take back some control of my schedule for important things like meditation and exercise.  It was also part of my journey of re-learning how to say NO to things. This represents additional forward movement for me.

Thanks Robin – I have really benefited from your work in more ways than just the obvious fitter, leaner, stronger me."
