When being sick is a good thing

While I was in New York last week, I wasn’t too careful about the food I was eating.  I tried for the first day or so, but by the time Monday rolled around and I had a six-hour car trip home, I was digging into the potato chips and sugary snacks.

Let me back up …

Lady parts

Last week I saw an image on Facebook that struck me as both hilarious and absolutely on-point:

While I generally stay out of politics on Facebook, this one made me laugh so hard that I shared it with my friends.

I got a response that struck a nerve, so much so that I’ve taken …

Letting myself be angry

The past 24 hours have been very enlightening – not easy, but enlightening. 🙂

Yesterday I had an issue with a company that spanned conversations with several customer service agents. By the time I got to the supervisor, I was irritated. No one I’d spoken with seemed to have any interest or ability to solve …

Are you calling me a dizzy brunette?

This week I’m having an opportunity to listen to my body and and to stop worrying about what other people think.

For the last two days, around noon time I’ve started feeling extremely dizzy.  As in “I think I might fall off my chair” dizzy.  I’m able to walk around and drive, but I’m much …

Tuning out, sleeping in

I have a lot to say and very little energy to say it with.  For the past few weeks, I’ve felt myself sinking into deeper and deeper exhaustion.  I think it started back with the Melissa Jenkins murder, and then the other five murders in quick succession.  It was mentally and emotionally exhausting.  I’ve been …

Getting okay with being okay

Do you ever something come up so many times in one day that it feels like someone is banging you over the head with a two-by-four?  I had that kind of day today.

It started with a book.  Recently I met a phenomenal woman named Michele Rosenthal – trust me, you’ll be hearing a lot …

The miracle of nourishment

Can I be honest?  (Well, that’s a silly question – I’m usually pretty honest around these parts 🙂 )

A few weeks ago I committed myself to taking part in the 10-Pound Challenge being hosted by Newlyweds On A Budget.  At the time I acknowledged that the timing wasn’t great, given that I’m grieving a …

Sanity

Hi everyone,

I’ve been missing in action for the last few days – I wasn’t feeling great over the weekend and I chose to be really lazy.  Although that was the right choice, now I’m feeling a bit of inertia about writing on the Journal. Which is odd, because I have a whole bunch of …
