Hey Y'all! It's a new month and I am ready with some new thoughts, changes, updates, and resources! First, I'm down five pounds (at least) since my last post nine days ago! Obviously, this is not the thing that matters most, and I'll get into that more in a bit, but it tells me that [...]

Ladybug Girl turns Six
Oh, My Lexi. My brilliant, beautiful, loving, fiery, imaginative, friendly (and so many other things) little Bug. I am so very glad that God gave me you. I tell you that multiple times a day, but it never becomes less true. You are, as you've been since the day I found out you were coming, [...]
One year later…
Today feels like a milestone, to me, because a year ago tonight I was the closest I have ever been to throwing in the towel entirely. I spent a couple hours of the night trying to make that happen.(within hours of that I was in the car traveling) I was in excruciating pain, I felt [...]
Hellooooo out there…
I know, it's been an age since y'all have heard from me. And SO much has happened, so much has changed and grown, and I have mountains to sort through as far as what I need to write here and what I want to keep as "book exclusive" , so to speak. If you're reading [...]
The Greatest Showman: The Other Side
Okay, time for another edition of "why is every song in this movie my life?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5IriNnEuVo&feature=share This song-or at least the first two thirds-reminds me of the guy I was interested in before Scott.

Monday Morning Fitness Update 3/19/18
I feel like I'm learning so much about this journey constantly. My thinking has to be adjusted so often on so many facets in order to keep going, and I have to turn off so many of my instant gratification desires in order to, as Alex Toussaint would say, "Trust the Process". I have to [...]
Quick take: Aggressive Happiness.
Last Saturday I happened to see a bird land on my bluebird house, and commented to Scott "That bird better not get attached, bc that house is for-HOLY CRAP A BLUEBIRD!" A male bluebird had just dive bombed the bird sitting on the birdhouse, and was perched on top, and his mate was perched a [...]

So what comes after the “goal date”?
A week from yesterday this six week period I set up to really focus on pursuing whole self health and healing will have come to a close. What comes next? Are the habits part of me? What major changes do I see? Where do I feel like I still need improvement? Where am I going [...]
Charlottesville
I don't often speak about this with my own words. I'm usually more comfortable sharing other people's words on racial issues, maybe because I'm afraid I'll say something wrong or that makes me sound ignorant. But I can't let fear silence me, because there are so many people who need to hear my voice and [...]
