It started out so simple An acknowledgment An electronic smile Typed words of acceptance A message about her looks More broadly, her persona She took a bite on the line Allowed herself to be reeled Once again doubting The whole she was judging The words flowed easily As did the laughter The conversation never ending […]
Read MoreSo, I am not sure if I have major wisdom to impart today, but I will try… My mom used to say this a lot: “beggars can’t be choosers”. And that could not be more true. Of course it doesn’t mean that we are talking about literal beggars per se, but it means don’t be […]
Read MoreSo, I am not talking about in terms of romantic escapades or pretending to be something that I am not. I am talking about removing my feelings about a person/situation and just following their lead. I used to be so wrapped up in people not treating me well, or keeping in touch properly or just […]
Read MoreSo, I am doing this hardcore HIIT/strength training with super strict meal planning. I have pretty much done everything to a T except a few extra hundred calories during my one cheat meal of the week. Today is the beginning of week 6. At this point I have lost 15lbs and a little over 9 […]
