Little Changes Equal Big Results
One of the most liberating moments through this incredible journey has been giving myself the permission to do things in smaller increments. Making those changes and doing them on a smaller scale makes it a habit. Exercise: If you are like me you have always thought that if you aren’t working out for an hour…

Stepping Forward in Faith
I’m crazy nervous. So, I met with the dietitian and the social worker a couple weeks ago. First I will tell you that I was scared to death to meet with these two people. I thought I was going to be judged for a whole slough of items. From weight to diet to food journal entries…

Muddy Roads

Cool Mom?
Being the “cool” mom. For my fellow Mom’s, I think this is an eternal struggle. I’ve always wanted to be the cool mom. Growing up, my mother was NOT cool. Oh, she was amazing, but definitely not cool. At least not to me. To my friends, she was. I had some friends with really bad moms, normal…

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,…

Unconditional Love
Every parent has heard the saying ” I would die for my child”. But only real parents know that this is 100% the TRUTH! Not a one of us would ever let anything happen to our children if we could avoid it or prevent it. As I look into the angelic faces of my four babies…
