simplistic believer. soul searcher. fear conqueror. deep lover. unrealistic dreamer. & forever finding my own voice in this chaotically, beautiful world.
Change. Rapidly slams us into the unknown. A world we weren’t quite ready for but one we must own. Change. Slowly coming in the distance. It’ll be here soon enough regardless of our resistance. Change. We know it; it’s all around us But never the less it causes chaos. Change. It’s opportunity. It’s inevitable. It… Continue reading “When one door closes. . . ” que *eyeroll*
For this post I'm going back to the origin of starting my blog; weight-loss surgery, particularly the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Over the last twoish years I have been asked a ton of questions (which are always welcome!), as well as learned from trial and error and educating myself on the topic. For this blog I'm… Continue reading Back to the Beginning: Q&A
I struggle, perhaps just like you. I have bad days out of the blue. I look in the mirror and hate what I see. Some times I don’t even know the reflection staring back at me. Anxiety overcomes me once again. Tears falling down; I scream within. My mind is racing and my chest gets… Continue reading & yes, the demons still come out to play. . .
Happiness. It is all around us. It's in the smile of a stranger you pass walking down the street. It's the laughter of a child from being tickled on their tiny little feet. Happiness. It is within us. It's the choice to curl up and embrace a rainy day. It's knowing you are blessed with… Continue reading Happiness; It truly is the little things.
Summer time in central Pennsylvania means we try to spend time on our boat, swimming, porch sitting, we just got back from camping at the beach for a week and with friends for the weekend. Summer now also means shorts, tank tops and bikinis! That is some thing new and has been an adjustment for… Continue reading comfortably wearing a bikini; say what?!?
Driving down the road; twists and turns. Windows open I smell the rubber as brakes burn. Mountains ahead; I push down the gas. Sunroof back; I hear cars speeding on the overpass. Tap the brake; I come to a fork in the road. Through the windshield I see fields so freshly mowed. Right or left;… Continue reading The Road of Life
Change. What a terrifying word.😱 Am I right?! Absolutely not. Previous to having my vertical sleeve gasrectomy (which means I had a surgery to remove 80ish percent of my stomach.) I had heard several people talk about how others have "changed" after weight loss surgery. I thought that was a ridiculous concept. How could a… Continue reading Nothing Changes; If Nothing Changes
Thirty. 😲 Thirty years old. Here I am, the day after my birthday, enjoying every minute of where I've been and discovering even more about myself with every passing day. I hear so many people dreading another birthday or not wanting to grow older. That has never been the case for me. I love birthdays.… Continue reading Happy 30th To Me!
Pride. What a broad subject. & if you've read my other posts you know I'm going to do my best to break it down according to my own opinions, experiences and thoughts. Take it for what it's worth or scroll on past. Either way, I'll still be proud of myself for posting this and every… Continue reading Pride; From Others & For Yourself
I forgive you. Not for you but for me. I am no longer handcuffed; I am finally free I forgive you. Those shackles were weighing me down. I am finally above water; I refused to drown. I forgive you. Those bars on that cell no longer hold me in. Covered in scars; I fought to… Continue reading I Forgive You
