Once again, I discover a blog post I thought I had published is half written! Sorry for the lateness of this! I’m just going to adapt the post titled “September Goals”, so I can share what I worked on last month, and what I will be focusing on this coming month. I’d like to share [...]

Last 90 days of 2019
So, I’ve seen a lot of the bloggers/writers/ social media folks in my Instagram Feed talking about their #Last90days plan for 2019, and I love it! It’s easy and inspirational, and maybe more natural to be driven to New Year’s Resolutions, goals, and big plans for the new year to come, but maybe takes a [...]
I am not my best friend’s best friend.
And, maybe for the first time ever, I’m ok with that. I was thinking about this the other day, because of my husband’s relationship with his best friend. They both obviously have other friends, but for the past 14 years almost, these two have been bestest buddies. And at times I’ve been jealous because for [...]
Pushing back against Diet Mentality
I wrote this months ago, in response to some things I was encountering online,and the way it was feeding some unhealthy mindsets that I have really struggled to overcome, and bringing shame and self judgement into my life, and, I observed, into the lives of others. This has been eating at me, y'all. I've been [...]
Two Decades of You and Me.
It all began twenty years ago today- well, it probably began about 8-9 months before that, but officially (as official as it could be when I wasn't supposed to tell anyone), it began on this day. You and I had been writing letters back and forth for a couple weeks. Long ones. You were encouraging [...]
Baby Duck is FOUR!
Oh Ducky Duddles, Bubber, Bub, Babyman, D, D-Zilla, Sillibub, Maui, Catboy, Gekko, George, King Bub, Bear Bub, Monkey, or whichever character you are today... I cannot believe you are four. Partly because you have plenty of sweet baby boy left in you, partly because time has flown so quickly, but it just seems impossible, like [...]
Wellness Update 1/18/19
So, after reading my whole manifesto, here's my first actual update of the new year. I'll be totally honest, I'm a little discouraged right now and having a little body image grumble grumble. Isn't it funny how even though we grow and mature and heal in an area, the old mindset or insecurity tries to [...]
This is not a “Year in Review” or a “New Year, New Me” post.
It is, however, a post where I'm excited to share a lot of what I'm prayerfully pursuing as we begin 2019-and maybe a bit of what I'm excited to leave behind. 2018 just flew by, y'all. It really seems like it was just yesterday I was reading Cultivate, digging into my first set of PowerSheets, [...]
Body Image Woes
Sometimes it feels like growth and freedom in one area comes with discontent and frustration in another. This has definitely been true in my mental health/emotional healing journey so far, and I've been experiencing it pretty strongly in the area of my physical health lately. I am LOVING Intuitive Eating and flexible carb cycling. It [...]
August 1 Intuitive Eating Update
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 [...]
