My Self Image, A Reflection From My Past

My Self Image, A Reflection From My Past

Take Two.... I wrote a blog already on this subject, but just before we posted it I was reminded that my blogs are usually personally, honest and real.  I was tiptoeing around this subject because I did not want to offend anyone....which made for a "miss" of a blog. My readership has come to appreciate the blogs that are from my heart and soul...so why would I wish to give anything else? Have you ever been told something that has shaped your self-image in a negative way? (Even if the people did not anticipate the outcome to be negative, but...

Just Like the Weather...Bi-polar

Is summer here or is it not here? Who can tell with this weather....one day it is 29 degrees and the next it is 11 and then 38 on Friday. hahahaha The weather is bi-polar.... Speaking of which, I have been to a psychiatrist several times over the last few months, and have been given some new diagnoses (if anyone follows along on my journey, I was told I had Major Depressive Disorder so we were treating that... but since it would initially get better but then decline, we figured something else was up....and down...and up again...and down again....) and...

I will start off by saying, we never really know how a situation is going to play out...until it does. Sometimes our choices make a great story though...and here is one.  The other day I was making lip balms, getting ready for the upcoming markets/events we are attending. I went to grab a jar of coconut oil, it slipped out of my hand, hit my thumb and fell to the floor. No damage to the oil or packaging but broke my thumb nail (quite far down so it was tearing my skin a little....) only about half way though, the...

And The Lucky Winner Is...

It’s me again. Hahaha I know I have been missing in action lately, but I have a good excuse. We have been picking fiddleheads…over 300 lbs of them in the last 3 weeks. So because I did not prepare any blogs in advance, you just got none. But now I am back, for a little while, then it will be summer where I usually take some breaks, so enjoy the next few, either way. Hahaha As I was sitting here, I honestly was not sure what I was going to write about…when my messenger dinged and lo and behold it...

My Love/Hate Relationship With Exercise

My Love/Hate Relationship With Exercise

Journey….journeys….I feel like life should be one journey, but it is not. I feel like it is a series of them, sometimes all jumbled up together and sometimes several simultaneously happening. I am going to write about one of the journeys today. It is one people either embrace or they ignore totally…it is amazing to watch and see where people are on this journey and if any other journeys impact this one. I am talking about exercise. While some may not consider it a journey, I believe it is. I know for myself, anyways. I have had a love/hate relationship with...
