Today was a rough day. If you’ve read my recent blog posts, you will know I’ve been going through a struggle with owning my voice. Today proved to be a day of much character building and finding my voice amongst a barrage of not so inspiring opinions from others. Anyway, in order to get out … Continue reading »
Finding My Voice
I have an eating disorder. This is an issue that has been lying dormant for a very long time and only came to light in a way that it is clearly definable in the recent months. Not only is it a disorder, but it’s an addiction. I am a binge eater. I have always used … Continue reading »
Rocks
I’ve been obsessed with rocks lately. Well, “obsessed” is an overstatement. I guess I’ve just been much more aware of their presence in the world lately. I find myself being curiously magnetized to certain rocks during my daily walks or while out at recess with the kids. I mean, it’s not every rock I see … Continue reading »
Feeding My Needs the Wrong Food
Last year, I went on a date. (Oh man, that’s a funny statement to look at). It was an old acquaintance who always had a crush on me. I met him about 6 years ago, very soon after I separated from my ex-husband and always found a way to side step and avoid his sweet attempts … Continue reading »
All I Want for Christmas….
Last winter, I wrote that I want new problems. I am HAPPY to report that I’ve gotten more than half of them. I work one official job, a side job and a growing number of freelance projects that I love. I have a wonderful professional reputation and others gladly talk me up and spread the … Continue reading »
You Never Know….
I think I spread a nice warm fuzzy last night…. and I touched my own heart in the process. You see, several years ago when I was freshly separated (and not yet divorced), I enrolled in school. It wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to do, what with school starting just two days after … Continue reading »
Working and Giving and Not Shopping
Since starting my new job on September 5, I’ve been EXHAUSTED to say the least. You see, this job surprised me with its opportunity as I was at the tail end of a summer nanny job AND wrapping up a house sitting gig at the same time (which was the last of three consecutive house … Continue reading »
Beautiful
Thank you, Mari for nominating me for this beautiful award. Though my blog activity is sporadic these days for a variety of reasons, mostly because wordpress is acting quite wonky on my end (I generally cannot comment on other blogs… only ONE in several comments I try to make actually goes through). Though I do … Continue reading »
Happy Feet
I am the Sunday School teacher at my Spiritual Community. It is a job I enjoy for so many different reasons; one of them being that I learn a lot about my own self as a child and even who I am today as I teach the kids. I am a firm believer that you … Continue reading »
Cuddling, Kissing and “Cuddling”
Let’s face it, we all have needs. We all need to be hugged, smiled at, encouraged…. and um occasionally participate in that ever so important “cuddle time.” Now, I’m not necessarily proud of what I’m about to divulge on my personal yet oh so public blog, but I have not “cuddled” anyone special in over … Continue reading »
