Writing has been weighing heavily on my mind these past few days. And not just because it’s the start of a new year. If anything, I would delay blogging around New Years. It’s far too cliche for my liking. But who am I to deny destiny when it demands that I sit down and pound […]
Yesterday Sucked. But Today I Feel Stronger.
I’m not going to say that Monday was the worst day of my life, because I know that’s both untrue and overly dramatic. That being said, it still sucked. A lot. I love my job, but work was rough. The last week or so has been pretty bumpy; nothing is ever easy. Mary says that’s […]
So I Said No.
I’d like to say I’m sorry. But not to you. To myself. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while. I’m sorry this page has collected dust. I’m sorry I haven’t updated my plug-ins for a month. I’m sorry I haven’t been around. I got swept up in another whirlwind. My dreams are […]
My “Last Chance”
I’ve talked about it before, but I’m going to talk about it again. Because apparently it’s a big part of my life. You can’t just ignore these things. I’m 4 weeks post-op from hip surgery #7. When people see me on crutches, they’re all like “Wow, you’re a pro!” Thanks. I’ve had a lot of […]

Whenever I find myself lacking in inspirational material, I usually try to watch a movie that’s sure to stir some emotions in my heart. So that’s what I did last night. […]
Everything They Told You About Following Is Wrong
It’s true. Everything they told you about following is wrong. When I first decided to embark on this “serious” blogging adventure, I did a TON of research. I researched various blogging platforms, hosting services, themes, color schemes, marketing strategies, networking sites…you name it. In the end, I picked WordPress over Squarespace, JustHost over Go Daddy, […]
Like A Tree
Last week was National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. For those of you who are faithful followers of this blog, you might have noticed that I did not publish a post last week. Which might seem strange, given that I am a vocal advocate for mental health, eating disorders, and recovery as a whole. But there […]
My Body Screams
My body screams at me. I’m certain it begins as a whisper. Every time it warns me. And I ignore it. Every time. I’m angry now. At my body. At myself. I feel betrayed. My back gave out on me last weekend and by Tuesday I was desperate. I made the call and the long […]
