Let’s Jump In!

And I mean that title in many ways, but first, the housekeeping. I have not written in 2 years, and to be fair to myself, the last 2 years have been HARD, and the next 10-12 months may continue to be hard. More on that in a minute. I am starting to chase a new … Continue reading Let’s Jump In! →

If at first you don’t succeed

Well, I was waiting and waiting to write until I knew one way or the other about the job I hoped to get, and finally the news came in last week, I was NOT successful. And I cried. And you know what? It's also all ok. Sometimes, failure is a just setback, sometimes it's a … Continue reading If at first you don’t succeed →

Your wagon is waiting

So here is what occurred to me today. I was thinking about the fact that the last couple of days, my eating has been way out of control. I haven't been counting my calories faithfully, and I've been stuffing my face. As I was thinking about that, I thought the euphemism - I guess I've … Continue reading Your wagon is waiting →

A beautiful double rainbow at the end of a huge thunderstorm that just popped up this afternoon Isn't it appropriate this Easter weekend that I have found some hope. The new medication I'm taking seems to be working. So far, so good. I'm hopeful that I'll now be able to change the behaviors in my … Continue reading A New Hope →

Trying something new

I found myself struggling, HARD. I'm struggling with my increased symptoms. I'm struggling with shame over struggling, but also for not recognizing the fact that I've been struggling for so long. The fact that I have nothing to be ashamed of is hard to hold onto. Like, to the point where I feel ashamed for feeling ashamed. How's that for nuts?! I know it doesn't make sense, but I feel it anyway.
