Day 11

Hello, my friends! So much has happened since we spoke last! I won't go into all of it, but it was a lot of big life things that no matter how much you think you have a handle on your emotional triggers, it some of it still jumps up and bites you in the butt. …

something to hold onto

Sometimes I wonder why I still blog. I mean, it is kind of a dying thing. But then I start writing and I remember that sometimes an online journal can be healing. So I think that is where I am today. I don't know what I need to say, but I need to say it. …

the key

Today I'm going to tell you all a little story about a key. Honestly, I'd meant to write about it a long time ago, but all the drama involving my eye overshadowed this tale. I probably wouldn't be writing about it now, however, it's been so interesting watching people get up the courage to ask …

the first cut is the deepest

Hidey Ho, Neighbor! Can anyone name the show? Wowza, that first week of this year was a doozy. Ok, so maybe it wasn't officially the "first" week, but it was the first for me. What even is WORK? This week in a nutshell: I had an eye doctor appointment, I got strep throat, and I …

a sight to see

Where do I even begin? When I last wrote my birthday was on the horizon and I was super optimistic about October and the goals I was ready to smash out. Yeah, so none of that really happened. Ok, my birthday happened. But that is it. I am indeed 39 years old. Father Time decided …

My 39th year

goals, direction, and starting to see light.

Seeing the light arriving Greetings, my friends! And Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a great and relaxing weekend. It has been raining off and on yesterday and today and honestly it's been nice to chill for a hot minute. I did quite a bit of socializing this week and was oh-so-ready for a …

changing my perspective

Just me...starting to find clarity in the fog There are so many different directions I thought about writing this post. It has been a week of so many different reflections and observations. Which do I pick? Last week I told you all how I was beginning an Elimination Diet this week. Well, I did started …

I am not skinny … but …

I have worked so hard these last couple of weeks in the gym. I'm pushing myself in my lifts and I've added "bonus" cardio everyday. And guess what? My weight hasn't changed. I've gone up and down the same 3lbs for almost 3 weeks now. I've stayed within my macros and I've turned down cupcakes …

church, chores, cheering up

Happy Sunday, fam! We did it. We've made it to what I'm beginning to think is the most pivotal day of the week. To be totally honest, I don't really like Sundays. The weekend is over and I start stressing over the week to come. For the longest time I used to (and sometimes still …
