I go through cycles of my author journey where writing feels really carefree, fun, amazing, and then there are downright muddy, painful, and just plain hard times too. I’m in a hard phase right now, as you know from last month but I’ve decided instead of just staying in the muck, I’m going to pull…

I Like Big Goals And I Can Not Lie
As you may (or may not know) I love setting 90-day goals – I started this in the fall of last year and it really did help me be more productive…until I wasn’t. That’s when I realized that I like having my goals mapped out for the quarter but only the first 3-4 tasks written…
Success Does NOT Happen Overnight
I love autumn..sweater weather, pumpkin spice coffee drinks, new TV shows to start watching, and the changing colors of the trees.

Mindful Food Tracking
I’ve been working with my nutritionist for awhile. First, we started with my mindset, being okay with who I am right here and right now. Not putting off goals and life just because I carry extra pounds, being happy and enjoying life and food because life is meant to be enjoyed. Once we felt like I…
I Feel Like A Failure
Get ready for some real talk. For the past few years I have been learning about and implementing Health At Every Size (HAES) and Body Positivity into my life, but for the past few months, I’ve been hating myself and my body. Generally, I feel like a failure. A big fat failure. I am fat. …
