Blackmail Material 🙂

Merry Christmas friends!!

I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas. I had waaaay too much fun with my family, and the day got away from me!

So to make up for not posting yesterday, please enjoy this glimpse into last evening’s antics.

Yes, it’s the Spice Girls.

But no, for real, I decided to share this because ten years ago, when I was deep in the throes of my anorexia, I never thought that I would find my “spark” again. I had always been a spontaneous, fun-loving goofball with a big laugh and a big heart, and in my disease, I lost that, becoming a shell of who I was. Dead behind the eyes and even more empty in spirit.

And Christmas time was one of the hardest times.

So I wanted to share this for perhaps any girls who are going through that dark valley right now, or any loved ones who may be standing by, feeling helpless: I got my goofiness back.

You will too.

This is your life to reclaim. Your fears and pain to surrender to Jesus. What a perfect time: on His birthday.

There is hope friends. And this video, in all it’s embarrassing glory, offers just that.

I love you all with all my Spice Girls-loving heart, and I’ll see you tomorrow for a recipe, and Thursday for programming as usual. 🙂

  2. I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want! Sorry, you said Spice Girls so I couldn’t resist. 😀 Anyway! I’m glad you had a Merry Christmas and that you have your spark back! It definitely shows in the video, which was very funny. Again, I am so happy for you. Have a great night!

  5. The title of your post had me fooled! But I should have known a girl as lovely as you would never let us down.

    Wow. And wow. And wow again. And thank you for being you.

  6. Well, question #1 – What happened to the rest of the clip?? This is all your loyal followers get for Christmas, a few measly seconds of you in an eggnog delirium?? This is me leading all 34K of us: WE. WANT. MORE!!! WE. WANT. MORE!!!

    #2 – Just kidding. Glad to see you spark-le! So happy you are back from hade’s gate and giving hope to so many who are still fighting for their own spark to return. Glad to say – Merry Christmas, my good friend!!

      • We did. Low key and quiet. BTW, you might get a kick out of a little family history; I related the story of Hillary’s birth (Dec 21) in my 12/23 post. From my viewpoint anyway. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  11. Hey Sis’. 🙂 I still love the Spice Girls as well, even after so many years later. Awesome video by the way! It made me smile because it showed me how I need to be more happy and have more fun despite whatever storm I may be in and going through. I needed to hear your message because it helped to uplift me and keep me motivated. Thank you! 🙂

  19. Hahahahaha love the dance moves! I am assuming the eggnog was in control and at that point?😂😂😂 or one of your family secretly spiked the eggnog jut to see you jam out to spice girls? Just saying 😂😂😂 Merry Christmas!

  21. Thanks for your upbeat posts as you share your journey. I also enjoy seeing your growth and love for the Lord in the Catholic Church. I’ve been learning from some of the Catholic mystics and it’s been helpful in my own journey. My wife and I went to Rome this September, and we found it to be a profoundly spiritual experience. The Vatican was amazing, but the artwork and fountains in the city also pointed us heavenward. If you haven’t been there I hope you can go some day soon. I pray that you have an amazing 2018, and that the Lord fulfills the desires of your heart, Psalm 37:4,5.
