Project HEAL has started a #donewithdieting campaign and it’s got me thinking. I AM done with dieting. But why? And how? I mean it’s one thing to say it, but it’s another thing to back it up. So it’s time I stepped up to the plate and did a little explaining. To put it simply, […]

Well hello there. My name is Brittany. In case you’ve forgotten. It’s been almost a year since I’ve written anything. “Why?” you might ask? Why indeed. A lot of it has to do with fear. Something I’m a little bit ashamed to say. Here I am preaching vulnerability, yet now I confess my fear of […]
I Still Don’t Get Why I Do This.
It’s 3:00 pm on a Sunday as I write this. I’m sitting on the couch. My cat is purring next to me. And I’m wrapped up in a sweatshirt blanket in an attempt to keep the icepack on my hip from freezing me to death in the middle of July. I still don’t get why […]

Why Crutches Still Stand By My Mirror
It’s been 2 months since I’ve needed them, but my crutches still stand by the full-length mirror in my bedroom. My daughter pointed them out to me the other day and asked why they were still there. I didn’t have a very good answer for that one. It wasn’t until later that I discovered there […]
Stripped Away
Raw. Naked. Vulnerable. This is how I feel. Stretched to the max. Out of my comfort zone. At the breaking point. This is where I am. Crying. Laughing. Straining. This is what I do. In the past, I’ve written posts that draw the parallels between the lives of humans and rose bushes; I strongly believe that […]
Ayn Rand
“Why is it so important–what others have done? Why does it become sacred by the mere fact of not being your own? Why is anyone and everyone right–so long as it’s not yourself? Why does the number of those others take the place of truth? Why is truth made a mere matter of arithmetic–and only […]
