Action Breeds Feeling
So often I would say to myself, “When I _______________, then I’ll do _______________ . When I feel better, then I’ll get out and meet people. When I weigh x then I’ll be happy. When I have more confidence, then I will try that new thing. What I have discovered though is that the opposite… Continue reading

Tattoo
When I was 16 I REALLY wanted a tattoo. Really. A lot. But when my mom asked me what I wanted – I was always at a loss. I could never come up with something that I knew I’d be okay with at 90, or in a place that wouldn’t sag or droop or just… Continue reading

Outlook
I went out and got myself a new outlook. I felt awful about my first biathlon and I REFUSE to feel that way again this Sunday. A common thread in my life (that my mother will attest to) is that I like to “know it before I know it”. In other words – I expect… Continue reading
