When I woke up this morning the weight of the world felt a little (mild version) heavy.  I could feel myself starting a list in my head and the list was not positive, a lot of the things I was thinking were true, just not the entire truth.   The Bible and The Secret say the say [...]

My first give away–Contest–Perfectionism

Kids are the worst.  Everything I tell them, they are thrilled when they get the opportunity to dish the advice right back.  Okay, maybe clients are worse, they love to tell me things that I have been telling them for months.  It feels terrible at the time but is much needed when my brain goes psycho.   [...]

Price of success

I lost seventy pounds in nine months six years ago.  People would come in my office at work, close the door, and say, “Okay, exactly what are you doing to lose your weight?”  I would tell them, they would say okay and leave.  My commitment to lose weight at that time was extreme, OCD.  My [...]
