Last week, I wrote about being too tired to care and too stubborn to quit. I dropped the curtain a little, shared how close to burnout I was, and how much I was just trying to keep going. This post is not a polished comeback or some rebrand of wellness. It is a continuation.This is… Continue reading Low-Key Self-Care Wins

From Here to Me… Again
Hello again. It has been a minute. Or several years. But who is counting? This blog, this space I carved out more than a decade ago, started during a time when I was running. Literally running. Training, sweating, chasing personal records, and using miles to make sense of life. Back then, “From Here to Me”… Continue reading From Here to Me… Again
One Word
I feel like I have boiled down everyone I know down to a one-word description. I am tired, and things are grating on me right now, so I do not want to be wordy. Example - I had some foster kittens recently, and one of them was adorable, but out of control, I just call… Continue reading One Word
Why We Believe
1. Today my 28-year-old daughter had to verbally take down two men on Facebook that were making harsh comments about sexual assault victims. One of the men was 65 years old. 2. Today I called my 30-year-old daughter because she was going to a concert alone tonight and I had to ask her how she… Continue reading Why We Believe
If I Could Rescue Them All
Fostering rescue animals is such important work. If you can find time in your life and space in your home, it is a rewarding experience. So many cats and dogs are saved because rescuers step in and care for them. Without a strong foster network, even these rescuers would fail. I often post pictures of… Continue reading If I Could Rescue Them All
Never Here, Never Again
I am in my fifties. I have been out of high school for a long time, but I remember my history lessons. In high school, college, in books, we learn about the lives of humans and how they lived in the past; the good and the bad. The awful lessons of history always seem so… Continue reading Never Here, Never Again
Wine
On this journey, I have enlisted the help of Weight Watchers. It seems like a reasonable way to get help. All it asks you to do is pay attention to what you eat and exercise. Since this is what I am trying to do, and the online price has come down considerably, I am giving… Continue reading Wine
Feed Me Seymore
Here I am again, thinking about all of the healthy meals I could prepare and eat to help me lose weight. However, I HATE cooking. To lose weight, I need to eat well and exercise. The exercise, no problem. Eating well, that is the hard part. Not because healthy options are not available, but because… Continue reading Feed Me Seymore
Commitment
Back at the fitness and weight loss thing again. I have put on weight that I lost a few years ago. This irritates me, but of course, I have no one to blame but myself. I am finding it is not enough to know how to lose weight; you have to want to make the… Continue reading Commitment
Alfred Loves Mashed Potatoes
This is Alfred. Alfred LOVES mashed potatoes. I also love mashed potatoes. If I give Alfred potatoes on a small plate and make it easy for him to eat the potatoes, he gobbles them and will eat them all. (Do not worry, I do not do this often or give him too much). Last night… Continue reading Alfred Loves Mashed Potatoes
