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. … Continue reading something to hold onto

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 … Continue reading the key
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 … Continue reading the first cut is the deepest
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 … Continue reading a sight to see
My 39th year
Hello hello! We are at the END of September. Can you believe that?! I certainly can't. I keep saying it over and over, but I can't really believe how fast it feels this year is flying by.

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 … Continue reading changing my perspective
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 … Continue reading I am not skinny … but …
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 … Continue reading church, chores, cheering up
who is influencing you?
Several of my twitter friends have shared a New York Times article over the last couple of weeks. I hadn't had time to read it, but so many people I respect kept commenting on it. So I saved it in my handy Instapaper to read later. Having now read it, I can see why it's … Continue reading who is influencing you?
