Story Time!
It’s story time! Before I start my story though, I must let everyone know that I can see God’s hand through this journey. There have been many tiny miracles along the way. He has sustained me through the hard times and led me to the information I needed when I needed it. The story starts…

CBT in action
It’s my turn to post. Normally I have my post written by Sunday afternoon at the latest. More typically it is earlier in the week. Not today. And guess what. I’m going to practice CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). I am feeling disappointed and discouraged. I’m thinking that this–not having a blog post ready– is an…

Eat What Feels Good
In future post (that I’ve been procrastinating writing for a month) I will explain why and the journey, but I am currently on a doctor prescribed 4 month keto diet. After getting over the keto flu (feeling crappy while your body figures out how to live on ketones) I have felt really good. Back up…

Dr. Shopping
Have you ever been to a doctor, and they recommend a treatment and the treatment doesn’t really work? I have. And guess what? I don’t go back. If the doctor doesn’t listen to me? I don’t go back. If they belittle me? You guessed it, I don’t go back. I call this Doctor Shopping. I…

Should
Did any of you notice that we missed posting two weeks ago? That’s my fault. I was supposed to post something. And I didn’t. It was something I should do. But I didn’t. Which means now is as good a time as any to write this post. I have a very complicated relationship with the…

Quality VS. Quantity
I recently attended a workshop about breast cancer awerness and screening information. In the discussion the presenter started talking about risk factors. Some risk factors, like genetics, are unavoidable. Others are more avoidable. One of the ones she borught up was birthcontrol containing estrogen. She talked about how if you have several other risk factors,…

Rabbit Hole
Today I was going to write about how I perceived the difference between perfectionism and being prepared as possible so you can do your best. Well guess what? NOT TODAY! Instead I went on Instagram and saw a reel about a family remodeling a school into a home. I thought that looks cool. I wonder…
