Obstacles: Keep the faith and face it.
It often seems like just when life starts going perfectly well that something awful happens. We try so hard to make sense of it – we think about how much better life would be if it had never happened. In our minds we undo it all. Or we ignore it entirely, completely surrendering the idea…

I started working out in the “womens only” area of the gym… and I love it.
Hey all you wonderful people! So, I go to Goodlife and have been for about a year now. As far as gyms go in general, I like it. What I don’t like is how busy and overcrowded the gyms always seem to be! And I’m not just talking about the GoodLife that I mostly go to,…

Intuitive Eater
I was pretty cute in my teenage years. I wouldn’t describe myself as particularly beautiful at that time in my life – in fact I was more awkward than anything. I wasn’t sure who I was for a very long time. For many years I felt trapped between who I wanted to be, and what…

Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 7
Readers, I will be the first to admit that I am not the best at following instructions. That is why I have always found baking to be much of a challenge – it so often needs to be precise, and I have never been one for looking at the details. ALL that being said: I…
