Can’t Ignore It Anymore

by Beth January 19, 2012

I’ve alluded to it many times on here, but I am officially back up several pounds over my goal weight and am not happy about it. I am extremely gifted at coming up with excuses and blaming the stresses in my life as reasons for why I’m struggling, but I can feel myself slipping back [...]

The Cycle of Life

by Beth January 12, 2012

My heart is heavy today. I obviously understand the basic concept of the cycle of life and family, but I have to say, it’s really hard to watch as the end gets near. Your parents raise you so that one day, among other reasons, you can take care of them. I am witnessing this happening [...]
