A Revelation
It’s been a couple years since I’ve written in this blog. Mainly because my computer died and writing from an iPhone just doesn’t cut it. But the other reason is because I felt like a big, fat, failure. I gained all my weight back after hitting my plateau. I found out that the knee surgery…

It’s A Choice
As you all know I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. And this journey has been wrought with choices and decisions, failures and triumphs, sorrow and joy. I’ve been up and down, up and down, bigger and smaller. And I’ve never reached my goal. But I have hit small milestones that…

My letter to you….March 2013
I remember hearing grandma get the call that you were on the way. We piled into the car and headed to Salem. I was too young to go in and see you, being just 6 years old myself. But when your parents brought you to our house, I was so enamored by you. You were…

Depression Phase 1
I have never considered myself depressed. I know some people who suffer from it and I don’t relate to them at all. At least not with that. But I recently took a health assessment quiz at work. Working in the health care field I have a few resources available that others may not have. Anyway,…

Dad circa 2012
I don’t know how many of you will be able to relate to this next Journey of mine, but I have waited to put this one down. Mainly because I didn’t want my siblings getting upset with me. But I had to realize this isn’t about them it’s about me. Selfish right? My parents were…

Exercise part 2
It’s happened. The transformation has happened. I never thought it would, nor did I think it would happen this quickly if it happened at all. Exercise, my nemesis, my evil tormentor, basically Satan himself. It has it’s hold on me. Why? Because I can move easier now. I can move with less pain and believe…

Changes and Rewards
You hear it all the time. Change is inevitable and it’s good. It promotes growth. But most people are hesitant to change, some even hate it. I am not one of these people on most fronts. I love to re-arrange my furniture, I thrive at work when things are changing (which is constant) and I…

An Ongoing Struggle
Why do potato chips still call my name? Why is the ice cream in the freezer still trying to tempt me? Sigh….. It’s a daily struggle to not eat those things that used to be my friends. They would calm me and soothe the stress. But they would also permanently attach themselves to me, like…

Boys
Oh my are they an education or what? My oldest young man was born in 2007, my youngest in 2010. And they are the most amazing gifts and yet the largest education this momma could ever have gotten. Raising girls is so simple in the early years. They like pink, they play and pretend and…

Memories (2012)
Memories are funny things. It amazes me every time I try to remember something from my childhood and I get it completely wrong. As little kids everything is huge and a big deal. Something that seems insignificant to an adult can have a huge impact on a child. This last weekend I went back to…
