This journey is a marathon, and not a race…right? So in this path to wellness, I have been learning some interesting things about myself. For instance, I used to think that I excel in a competitive environment, especially if that competition was a long shot. So I signed up for my first DietBet and committed […]

Love is in the air
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I for one LOVE this holiday, but not in the traditional way. While I truly adore my husband and our annual dinner and gift exchange, I use this holiday to show some love to the single most important person in my life….ME. I started the tradition of purchasing something […]

Flashback
Laying here remembering Christmases past, I was reminded that this will be the 4th Christmas PCCd (Post Chelle’s Cancer diagnosis). There have been some tough moments and there have been some good times too. In fact, I decided to re-post something I wrote the Eve of my favorite Christmas. This was Christmas 2010, the year […]

Empty Promises

A Night in Tuscaloosa
We decided to take off for our Road Rally in our Chevy on Thursday night since we are both night owls and vehemently wanted to avoid an early morning while escaping. We decided to leave middle Tennessee for New Orleans and just drive until we couldn’t anymore. While we are both NFL fans, we are […]

Re-hydration
As someone who uses her blog as therapy, I should probably take comfort in knowing that I haven’t been posting frequently. It seems as though “feeling good” is not good for my blog, so I may have to re-focus a bit. Let’s try something new…let’s talk about how wonderfully things are going these days. If […]

Five Years and Then Some MORE

I sat down to write a post triggered by the photos that were popping up in my news feed from the first BlissDom I went to five years ago and the impact it had and still has on my everyday life. That was when I noticed that my last blog post was called Five Years […]
