Sometimes, I am so fucking exhausted. Just want to lie down, pull the covers over my head, and sleep Rip Van Winkle style, exhausted. I have been doing some work on becoming “wise” (did you know there’s a course for that??) Part of the work towards self-actualization and wisdom includes knowing where and who I […]
Read more "Rip Van Winkle my ass."I have written about anger. TWICE! I have written about love. More than that!! How about a little fear. Oh snap, I did fear already, too! Apparently, I’m a slow learner. I got pissed last night, and that has stayed with me through today. I do not like being pissed, no matter how “righteous” my […]
Read more "Anger, Love, Fear. Mostly Fear."I have some new readers, and this has made me a bit reluctant to write. I cannot write bullshit, but when I feel as though my thoughts, words, choices and actions are being scrutinized in a negative manner, I have a difficult time writing my soul. Enough of that. This holiday season has been full […]
Read more "Low Hanging Fruit"In 2019, I learned: I need to be loving, teaching, and serving a population that would otherwise be unable to obtain someone with my particular education and skill set. Alcohol does not serve me, nor does it help me reach any long term goals. Excessive processed food and animal products do not serve me, nor […]

Read more "Protected: Fall down seven, rise up eight."From the time my children were little, we would play a family game, which we called, “Ask me questions.” The kids’ father would always ask factual trivia questions with a definite and factual answer, while I would lean more towards the hypothetical and life choice questions. This is an amazing way to get to know […]
Read more "Ask me questions"I left the Mormon church about 15 years ago. As a result, I lost most of my friends and community. There were/are two women who love me regardless of my religious views, and several men and women who keep me on the radar as a “fellowship” opportunity with hopes of bringing me back to the […]
Read more "Quid Pro Quo"I grew up being called, “Thunder Thighs”, among other pejorative weight and size related nick-names. These came from family members, “friends”, and mean kids at school. I despised my thighs so much, when I was 30, I paid about 5K to have liposuction. Not once, but TWICE. (first time just wasn’t enough). Yesterday, I intentionally […]
Read more "Thunder Thighs"Five behaviors that heal and create a healthy gut: Eating a large variety of fruits and vegetable, consume few to no animal products Exercise (this was very ambiguous, I will do further research about what constitutes the most effective exercise for gut health) Reduce stress Avoid antibiotics Consume pre and probiotics (this is highly optional, especially […]
Read more "Gut 2019"The week my mom passed, I was introduced to the Blue Zones. Life changed. Three years later, new job, new home, two new and then painfully failed relationships later; life continues to change. I find myself feeling more aches and pains, feeling the 20 pounds I’ve gained, and missing the vibrant feeling I had when […]
