I’m going back to Ohio tomorrow. Just for the weekend. Honestly, I’ve been counting down until this day for the last five weeks now. I just need to see my family. See how my mom is doing. For those who may be new to the blog, she had a stroke about ten months ago, andContinue reading The Price of Dreams
I feel like I should be writing this from an antique plush velvet lounge couch with a mink shawl draped luxuriously over my shoulders and a long cigarette holder from the 1920’s effortlessly dangling between my fingers, because people…I feel so stinkin’ cultured after this weekend. Just call me Holly Golightly. But before I get intoContinue reading Living Intentionally
Allow me to set the stage here. Paint you a picture so you can catch a glimpse of how big of a dork I am. It’s a Wednesday evening. 6:30, and I’m in my little NYC kitchen, making a big, beautiful salad. I was super jazzed because I had bought some ~fancy~ ingredients to reallyContinue reading Beautiful Things
I have a confession: one that I’m really not proud of. But tonight at church, and really for the last couple weeks, I honestly have just felt…nothing. It’s like I’ve been spiritually numb. But tonight was different. I was actually getting angry. I was sitting in the pew, and just inexplicably fuming, being critical ofContinue reading Put the Fire Out
Confession: It’s less than 30 minutes before this post is supposed to go “live,” and I’m still staring at a blank screen. After Monday’s post, I’ve been, underwhelmed to say the least, to sit down and pour my heart out in an emotional and spiritually uplifting post. The response, and rather – the backlash –Continue reading Unfailing Love
My heart is shattered today at the news of the pure evil demonstrated last night in Las Vegas. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with our hurting nation right now, and especially the victims and their loved ones. I’ve been hard pressed to peel myself away from the news to write this post. The levelContinue reading More Than A Gun
*Before we jump into tonight’s amazing story (I can say that because it’s not mine 🙂 ) I have 2 quick announcements. Thank you to everyone who has bought my book, Bloom. I am so humbled by the incredible feedback you’ve been sharing with me. It really means a lot. And there are still copiesContinue reading My Mom’s Near Death Experience – In Her Own Words
When I talk to people who lived through my anorexia with me, the overwhelming theme is that people didn’t know how they could help me. They felt their hands were tied. They saw their friend/daughter/sister rapidly wasting away right before their eyes, and they felt helpless. They didn’t know how to get through to me.Continue reading The Problem with Tough Love in Eating Disorder Recovery
I had one of those experiences last night where I could literally feel my heart swell inside of my chest. And not because I ran into my former scene partner from acting school who literally is the doppelgänger of Enrique Eglasias. Hubba hubba. Yeah no. Sorry, completely inappropriate for the topic of tonight’s post. Although…is itContinue reading Finding ‘The Why’
Show of hands: How many of you have ever lost your phone before? Hah – yeahhhh. For those that are blessed enough to not be sheepishly raising their hand right now, let’s just say — it is a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on Regina George. So I lost my phone on Saturday night. And beforeContinue reading Losing my Phone & Finding God
