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 »

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 »

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 »

My Path To Freedom

My 31st birthday recently came to pass on July 8 and in celebration, without even realizing my intent, I forgave my mother. If you’ve been a follower of my blog since last summer, you are probably aware of the trials I have faced along  the bumpy road toward making peace with my mother. However on … Continue reading »

Learning to Exhale

Hi, my name is Currie and I make mistakes.  Welcome to my support group. Yesterday, I had a horrible day that almost immediately began with a hiccup which quickly snowballed  into more issues and before I knew it, I was a walking cess pool of neuroses.  It was not pleasant. It’s days like yesterday that make me want to extract … Continue reading »

The Road Home

Have you ever lost the person you loved most in the world?  Have you ever dealt with the numb pain of saying good-bye forever, as you try to move forward without a chunk of your heart?   I have.   Though I cannot say for sure what day my Godfather died, I believe today marks the anniversary … Continue reading »

There’s No Place Like Home

Yesterday, I sat in the Doctor’s office waiting to be seen about a recurring bleach chemical burn I’ve had to endure for the last five months.  As I sat waiting to be told that there was nothing they could do and that I would have to be patient until an appointment opened up with the … Continue reading »

Celebrating A New Story

The other day, I decided to celebrate myself by purchasing some flowers and concocting a small love note to myself.  The intention behind this act of self-love was to acknowledge me for all of the hard work I have done over the past several months. As I perused the flower section, I picked out a small bouquet of … Continue reading »

Angels in our midst

Naturally, since my car pooped out on me last year, I use the bus for transportation.  Even though it is not a convenient way to get around, I honestly do enjoy Bend Area Transit.  Since the place I live is a fairly small town, the bus system is cozy and it’s so nice.  I mean, I know most … Continue reading »
