When I go to the doctor’s office, I have stopped looking at the number on the scale. The last time I looked, I was thrown into a depressive tizzy that lasted for months. Definitely not helpful and I gained more weight during that time. It’s better to ignore the numbers and move forward with changingContinue reading “True Confessions Friday:: I define myself by a number on a scale.”

Female Power Songs
We all have songs that we listen to when we’re feeling sad, party tunes we rock out to with company, and ballads that make us feel, well, powerful. Some of these group “power” songs can be heard at sporting events such as Queen’s ever-popular “We Will Rock You.” We women have our own genre ofContinue reading “Female Power Songs”
The Battered Butterfly
This is the actual picture I took of the injured butterfly. By Amy Sondova I was walking my dogs outside, fairly annoyed because Maddy, my shih-tzu wasn’t listening.

I wanted to get an idea of what the experience might be like for Maddy (my one year-old shih tzu), and to talk to the activities manager to see ifContinue reading “Close Encounters of the Human Kind”
I Wish I Was Beautiful
I wish I was beautiful. Breathtaking, traffic stopping, can-I-buy-you-a-drink beautiful. Not that I really go to bars and get drinks, but sending over a Diet Coke in a friendly dining establishment would work, too. I’m not hideous or anything. I’m just, you know, me–freckles, flaws and all. The last time I stopped traffic, it wasContinue reading “I Wish I Was Beautiful”
