Why is it that we fear the unknown? I don’t know about you, but whenever there’s a big event or activity or milestone in the future, I always prepare for the worst. It’s a bad habit I guess. For example. Whenever I go to a party or something, in my mind, I’m always like, “whatContinue reading Weight Restored Does Not Mean Fat
No, this isn’t a commentary on Meghan Trainor’s song. Although, albeit catchy as hell, if you actually read the lyrics, you’ll find that it’s all about making “her man” buy her things and treat her like royalty, and basically bow down to her. Take me on a date. I deserve it, babe. And don’t forget theContinue reading Dear Future Husband
“Celebrate and be glad, for this [child] of mine was dead and is alive again. “ If there is one story from the bible that speaks to me the most, it is the story of the prodigal son. I know. I know. But before you quickly close the tab, I want you to know that,Continue reading Alive Again
First things first, I have to just express how incredibly thankful I am for the outpouring of support on my last post. Your kind words about my singing — shucks guys — thank you. So I was in Whole Foods yesterday, waiting in line — because there are legit 50something registers at the WF Union SquareContinue reading Where’s the Line?
Today I am sharing with you part of my soul. And you may be a bit confused, because, hello – this blog kind of is my soul, which I have willingly put out onto the internet ((what am I thinking??)) But this, today…this is a sacred part of my heart. A part that I do not shareContinue reading Remember Who You Are
Ever feel like your life is a broken record? Like there’s something that you just. can’t. break free from? Just can’t quit or fix or resolve? How many times have you gone to bed and thought, “Well, I’ll try again tomorrow.” Ask anyone who’s breathing and they can relate. “Go out into deep water and letContinue reading Deep Water
“Are you tired?” Isn’t that the worst thing someone can say to you? “Wow, you look tired..” Thaaaaanks. Seriously though, I feel like, especially in NYC, people are just TIRED. All the time. How you doing? Ugh, long day. How’s life? Exhausting. Sound familiar? But there are really two kinds of tired. There’s body tired. Which, anyone who hasContinue reading Are You Tired?
My last couple posts have been a bit on the heavy side, so I thought I’d lighten it up a little tonight. So. Food. Let’s talk about it. Because, frankly, it’s time to bust open a can of #RealTalk about it. Scroll through the #edrecovery hashtag on Instagram (I’m @beauty.beyond.bones – shameless plug 😛 ) and you’llContinue reading A Case for Food
Sometimes, you’ve got to take a good, hard look in the mirror and say, “Enough’s enough.” And friends, that is a very frank and very difficult conversation to have with yourself. In just two little words. For in that small-but-powerful statement…shit.gets.real. A lot of times, in recovery, you can get…a little too comfortable. I know I did,Continue reading Enough’s Enough
It took me a long time to press “publish” on this post. Why? I was afraid. Not afraid, in that, I was revealing a particularly personal topic, or afraid to show my heart. Lord knows I’ve done enough of that already on here. But afraid for a different reason. I was afraid to make you uncomfortable. Continue reading You’re Worth It
