We can do HARD things!
Eating Disorder Part 5- The Beginning of the End {I’m going to skip a few years ahead to save you all the rambling and repetitiveness of my thoughts during that time. This is where my story gets really complicated and there are somethings that I cannot share with you out of respect for those […]
Eating Disorder Part 4- Lost in Someone else’s body I have never been one to have a lot of friends- especially of the girl variety. I was never comfortable around a big group of girls so I had my few gems and I called it good. It worked for me. It was comfortable. […]
Eating Disorder- Part 3 This is the part of the story where I engage in destructive behaviors and let ED into my head full force. As with the rest of the story up to this point I didn’t know about ED and the eating disorder world. (all that came to me when I started therapy) […]
Eating Disorder Part 2- Choices! That summer started out as a doozie. I fought and fought with myself over whether or not I should try out for the cheerleading squad. All my friends were but I was not feeling so confident. And my fear of failure was staking it’s claim in […]

This is my Mom. She is 75 years old. I look alot like her. I inherited her smallish, um…top, and her larger, well…bottom. I can’t do anything about either of those without surgery, and I haven’t really cared to anyway. I also have her freckles, her thick hair, her thin fingers, and her small feet. […]
Stephanie Nielson (nieniedialogues.com) is one of my hero’s. I recently read her book, ‘Heaven Is Here’, and was once again reminded of how important life is.
