All He Wants to Do
Do you know how loved you are? Now, before you hit the snooze button, just hear me out. I always shy away from writing posts like these, because in all honesty, I feel like they’re usually suuuuuper cheesy, but sometimes, you just need to hear it. And tonight, for me, I do. I find that so […]

Headlines and Hashtags
Recovery is a funny thing. When we first start out, we bolt out of the gate. We’re sprinting ahead at full speed. YEAH! I can do this! It’s full speed ahead, tackling this fear food. Then that fear food. We’re meeting calorie goals and increasing supplements week after week. And, aside from the usual freak […]

What I Learned from Getting Hit On at Whole Foods, and No, It’s Not What You Think
Alright, I’m going to get this out of the way right now: NO, this is not some lame attempt at a humble brag, like “Oh look at me, I’m getting hit on because I’m so amazing.” This is not some “toot my own horn” post. I think you know me better than that by now […]

Prayer of a Broken Pray-er
This post scares me. I’m going to be more vulnerable on here than I have ever been before. Let’s talk about…prayer. I think a lot of people shy away from it because they feel that they don’t know how to do it. They don’t know what to say, how to start, how to prevent their […]

Loving a Horse
Equine therapy. A concept that, before my anorexia, I didn’t even knew existed. Therapy…with a horse? WTF, mate? But it was part of my program at inpatient, and in all honestly, it really did help me a lot, even though I may not have wanted to admit it at the time. I recently went horseback […]

We’re on His Wall
Grey’s Anatomy is a great show. I love it, I really do. And if you haven’t watched from the beginning, I highly HIGHLY suggest it. There’s a formula to the show. In every episode, there’s a patient. They’ve either been maimed by an inanimate object, have a car part or something protruding through their abdomen, […]

21 Days
So this past week, I have been up at our lake home in Michigan. It’s a beautiful time together with family, sunshine, food-a-plenty, and of course, beer! It’s been really interesting for me to enter into this intense week of family time after just coming off of an intense period of filming on set. And it […]

Being the Girl in the Video
As many of you know, this summer, so far, has been pretty busy for me. I’m just getting back from filming a TV pilot, as well as a music video. (Not a trashy video – a country one!) And I want to thank you guys for all the supportive and encouraging comments across social media. […]

Seven Words
“Little Girl, I say to you, arise!” On my day off today, I was able to go to church. And the reading was from Mark Chapter 5, and it really spoke to me. In this story, a father frantically searches for Jesus to come heal his 12-year-old daughter, who had fallen ill. By the time […]

WAKE UP CALL
Warning: This may be hard to read. Something happened to me today that made me catch my breath. I was talking with a guy this afternoon, and we were talking about our former high school sweethearts. I pleasantly reminisced about my past, and “edited it” to not include my eating disorder, as I always do. […]
