I’ve never been a big fan of the birth control pill. I took it for a short time when I was younger, and hated the way it made me feel. I remember telling my doctor I couldn’t deal with it because I felt like the pill disconnected me from myself. I couldn’t write. I felt [...]

First, I hope everyone is having a fantastic 2012 so far. I hope you’re not hungover, or that if you are it was worth it. I also hope that the universe brings you everything you need over these next 365 days and that you are surrounded by love, peace, prosperity and happiness. Now, for a [...]

I love purge days. Today, my son and I are going through our cabinets and closets and getting rid of whatever we don’t need or want anymore. The empty cabinet pictured above is in my laundry room. Somehow in the past few months it had managed to get stuffed with plastic bags from the grocery [...]

I was raised in a family culture where negative thinking was a form of social currency. Complaining was seen as bonding. Ask “how are you” and you would likely get a deep sigh and a list of all the ills in that person’s life or the world. Some time ago I realized just how deeply [...]

November 28, 2011 4 Comments
I lost another 5 lbs. This is 30 lost. 30 more to go. The only questions I have are: 1. Why do I feel like the scale is lying to me? I keep getting back on it again, so that maybe this time it can tell me the truth. Ha. 2. Why does it seem [...]
