I’m a lot late to this as I’ve been thinking about a word for the year & mercy of all things is popping up

I know that I expect way too much out of a broken body & it needs mercy, permission to rest & recharge so that I can continue.

I realized after Monday at the Y that I feel better physically, mentally & spiritually AFTER exercising.

I nee…[Read more]

I know hubby is sick which has probably set you back. How’s this week going?

Oh no, Robin! I hope he gets better soon. You guys don’t have time to be sick!

Nik

We had a completely sick household last month, too – feel your pain. Hope you both feel better soon!

I have been so absent in my life lately. I know that sounds weird, but it’s my truth. I got wrapped up in a stressful job that basically sucked the life out of me and consumed me. In October, I made the difficult decision to walk away from a pretty decent paycheck in order to get myself back. I’ve taken the last couple of months off but plan to…[Read more]

First and foremost, wishing @nikki-massie a speedy recovery after her surgery yesterday!!! You are in my thoughts!!

To put it bluntly, I have been a total bitch lately (please excuse my language). Telling people what’s on my mind and am at the point where I am sick of always doing for others and neglecting me and I am actually telling them…[Read more]

Robin, no apologies since many of us have dropped the ball (so to speak) and haven’t been active in posting. Wishing you all the best during this transition period and stop yourself when you feel overwhelmed and take several deep breaths very slowly in and out to help release some of your tension.

My word is going to be  confident . I need to trust in what I’m doing is right.  Confidents that my choices are important.

Hey there! I’m so late, but how did your plan go last week? I saw that your hubby was offered a job. Congrats!

How are things going with Good Measures? And with packing/purging? And with taking care of YOU???

So from what I can see you seem to be eating out a lot, which is probably due to the fact that you are super busy and likely tired after all you are doing!

Is there a way to eat at home more easily? I know my supermarket makes pre-prepped meals that you just throw in the oven. Or you could buy a rotisserie chicken and a few easy sides and eat off…[Read more]

I’m here & trying.  Life has been so challenging since 11/3 ( hubby had RNY with issues & a week in rehab) between hubby, wee one relapsing with cutting & the eldest with her issues, THEN realizing my mother in law is at her mortal end but just won’t let go (I’m too bloody much like her I fear).  Personality issues in a hobby of mine left me feel…[Read more]

Hey @nikki-massie!!! I miss all of you too!! Today we arrived in NOLA. Was hoping the weather would be better than Upstate New York, but for the whole time we are here, it’s going to be in the 40’s and 30’s and for the most part rainy. Oh well, we’ll have a great time anyway!! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as much food planning since we’ll…[Read more]

I was near death!

No, not really. But the day did suck pretty badly.

I didn’t eat much. I mostly slept. Didn’t do the gym. Blah!

Amen, sister!

You seem to have a good rationale behind this word so think on it some more. I’ll check back with you before we move on to the next stage of this thing! (Which, yes, I’ve been intentionally ambiguous about.)

Ohhhh good word. And the best part about it is that the word can do a lot to inform how you view new experiences, ideas and challenges. Can you think of some things you haven’t been able to do over the years because of various restrictions (location, parental duties, etc.) that you could envision now that you are making some life changes?
