Who is your role model?????

Model your behavior after this person.
True role models are those who possess the qualities that we would like to have and those who have affected us in a way that makes us want to be better people. To advocate for ourselves and our goals and take leadership on the issues that we believe in. We often don't recognize our true role models until we have noticed our own personal growth and progress . . .

Are you a role model?....well it is never too late.

Everyone has someone who looks up to you weather you know it or not. Always try to possess a great attitude, work hard at being yourself, but always be your best! Someone is always watching!
My role model is not just one person . It is all who continue the fight ...through thick & thin! The ones who sometimes wants to quit, but they don't. My hat is off to you. Thank-you for setting great examples for all of us! Thank-you for your strength!







Sweet Potato Soup Crock Pot Recipe:
- 2 cups fat-free chicken broth
- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half
- 2 packets Splenda or Truvia
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dry mustard

OPTIONAL: I topped mine with a tablespoon of non-fat sour cream for additional flavor and 0 points

NOTE: To make this into a vegetarian recipe, just use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth

Directions:
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes. Place them with the chicken broth in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on medium for about 3 hours (or until the potatoes are tender).
Using an immersion blender (or putting the sweet potatoes and broth into a food processor), blend until smooth. Put the soup back into the crock pot. Add the half-and-half, Splenda, salt, dry mustard and allspice. Cover and cook on medium for about 1-3 hours.
