I love shoes. I guess you could say what girl doesn’t, but I hold memories with shoes.  I still have the flamingo low pro Vans I was wearing when James kissed me for the first time, in front of the otters at the zoo.  Every time I wear them I […]

Shoes like these should not be locked in a closet…


Am I prepared to encourage myself? Not every day is Lilies. Today is one of those days that starts out amazing and then someone opens their mouth to you and everything starts to sit in the pit of your stomach. If you are like me you immediately start to over […]

Everyday can’t be Freaky Friday… encourage yourself!


Today I feel like a beached whale in a too tight scuba suit, that just ate a bag of chips with a soda. The prednisone bloat – she’s a real bitch. Side effects… the negative lil problems which occur when treatment goes beyond the desired effect, or problems that occur […]

Let’s all bloom today… together. Moving into Good Friday and a beautiful Easter holiday; I’m going to let positivity rule my life today.  I’m going to let it cradle me, fill me and I’m going to share it with everyone. I woke up today, still feeling a smidge under the […]

We need to put our bodies first

Get rid of that toxic waste! This weekend was a great weekend – with close friends, love, support, and laughs. I went to bed last night feeling completely fulfilled in life. Seeing L and her family/friends reminded me that it’s ok to go through something, and that I am capable […]

Why am I not better today? This question has been swirling through my head since I woke up this morning. Last night I felt like I was drowning, drowning the sea of life with nowhere to swim – I feel like everything is fault and that everything & nothing is […]

It becomes so simple when you write it down.
