Humble Re-Beginings

The ring is a continuous circle - it has no beginning and knows no end - unless there is a break in it. Even that though, can be repaired with the right tools.  Fortunately this is not my original wedding ring. No, I purchased this one some years ago as I outgrew the one I was given by my High School sweetheart 25 years ago. It was 2 sizes larger than the original, because, well, I was almost 2 times larger. I found the power of a genuine community and together we change my life - I lost 9...

Planning for the Corona Virus Interruption

I’m not a doctor. I don’t have a clue about the corona virus and please refrain from commenting on the specifics - there are plenty of online resources for those interested. I do want to talk about the effects of it on your journey though. From what I’ve been seeing locally, gatherings of thousands of people are being cancelled/postponed. Mostly college classes, grade schools, major sporting events, and conventions. If you have a child in school, and their school chooses the online route...

Weight Bias

I manage my own social media so - yup - I get to see the judgmental comments and private messages I receive. Dear Redacted, Don’t be sorry, it’s been a long journey and I’ve grown so much inside too. I’ve found a way to not let words like this impact me anymore. So I’m sure your apology makes you feel better about saying mean and hurtful things, but it’s totally unnecessary to apologize to me. Clearly you haven’t been following along closely. That’s ok, you get to chose where you get yo...

Happy Thanksgiving

It was the best Thanksgiving ever, yet it never would have gotten your attention if you misjudged the occasion. I was flying home one evening after a fun trip with other wingman. I was on very a short layover in Chicago when suddenly my phone rang. It was Janine, she said her father has asked to see us for the holiday. Amidst the tears and sobbing, I couldn’t make out all the words but I knew from her tone, it was urgent. We knew he was ill, but the news she received made it clear we neede...

Who’s Here? I’m taking attendance!

Attendance #bringingwellnessback post 4/6 There is a cliche phrase that says much of life is won by just showing up. I completely agree, but the pessimist in me always mutters, “showing up doesn’t mean squat if you don’t know how to play the game.” Or I sarcastically whine - “Ok Fine, I’ll just show up and watch the fat just melt from my body.” So what’s the big deal about just showing up anyway? Did you notice what predicates all of the amazing results we see here?  It was the atten...
