“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair…”― susan polis schutz I can’t say I celebrated today… I had a dentist appointment at 7 a.m. (just a cleaning, but still!) And clients til 8 p.m. With breaks, but still. I am a bit brain dead. I will have to celebrate another … Continue reading Happy Summer Solstice

Just popping in… I’m working a lot, but not too much. Not getting rich, but keeping the wolf from the door. Still moving every day, getting my steps in - not 10,000, but closer than I used to be. Progress, not perfection, right? In other news, I have a therapist I really, really like. He … Continue reading It’s me

I finally found a therapist - yay! - who is different from any therapist I’ve had before. I like him a lot so far. And I had a blinding flash of insight after our session today.

Ran across this quote today: “When we give up dieting, we take back something we were often too young to know we had given away: our own voice. Our ability to make decisions about what to eat and when. Our belief in ourselves. Our right to … Continue reading More on Food

If that type discussion is uncomfortable for you, please skip it or do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. Now here's an ocean picture before we start. I did a wonderful … Continue reading Me and Food and Existential Kink

My body is tired. I need to straighten up the house before our house cleaner comes. Not clean before she comes, but get the crap out of the way. And I don't feel like it. In fact, I don't want to do anything. I have a presentation coming up in a couple of weeks, to … Continue reading No Cheese with this Whine

If you missed my earlier posts, no worries, I can bring you up to date on my quest to find the just right nail salon pretty quickly. I went to one salon and they were too hard and I went to another salon and they were too soft. I went back to my regular place … Continue reading The Nail Saga Continues

Better days today - MP's daughter seems to have a plan and she's not feeling overwhelmed with despair, not when she talked to MP anyhow. So that's all good. The story in our heads has changed and even though it's still bad and still hard, it no longer weighs as much. Thanks to those of … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
