I have written more than a few times about my Manic Mommies, as well as my annual pilgrimage to Escape with them the first weekend in November each year. Since there is no Escape this year, I thought it would be nice to flip through my photos, my memories, and revisit those I am missing […]

This is Where My Story Begins…Again…For Real This Time
I know I went dark around here, and for that I am sorry. I used to think that being an open book was the key to being held accountable. However, when it came down to making this particular life changing decision, I had to dig deep down inside of myself and only listen to the […]

The Marathon
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.

I started the tradition of purchasing something […]

Empty Promises
In January I made a promise. It was a promise to my friends (both online and in real life), to my family, and most of all to myself. I promised to take the brevity of my sister’s time on earth, and learn from it. I promised to make the most of the time that I […]

The Post Can’t Write Itself
Do you see all of those smiles? That is the last time I have seen everyone smiling at one time. Sure, occasionally one slips through, but not since this day…the last good day, have I seen everyone cheesing like this. It was a long time before I found out there were even pictures of that […]

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 […]
