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 […]

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 […]

Dear Santa
Dear Santa, A cure for cancer is all I want, because thousands of people suffer and die each year. My Aunt Michelle fought for 2 years and now she is 21 days from death. It’s that time of year to spread love and cheer, so spread some to the loved ones far and near. Signed, […]

You might be amazed by my ability to remember this night considering the amount of money my girls spent on Crown Royal that night. There is not enough alcohol in the world to forget how perfectly blessed I feel to be surrounded by these EPIC women, even ten years later. This is the story of […]

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 […]
