They had all committed to completing the #firetowerchallenge, I just wanted to hike on a gorgeous day in the Catskills..

Why today….not tomorrow
If you have ever engaged in any get healthy, weight loss program then you would be familiar with the term “finding your why”. They tell you, if you find your why it will help you stay focused.

Almost Invisible
Sometimes we have to lose something to find something else that fits better.
Why can’t we all be friends?
In a perfect world there would be no fighting. Everyone would be nice to one another and there would be no drama. Everyone would instantly like everyone..

Hearts of Stone
I see hearts….everywhere… Sometimes I can’t tell if I see the hearts because I’m so full of love or I am desperate to feel a certain kind of love. Sometimes I wonder if they are about love at all.

Victoria is having a hard time keeping my secret
I am not weight obsessed. This journey that I’ve been traveling has evolved and changed and grown so many times.. Once a upon a time, that number was what lead me. I was driven to be skinny and reach the golden digits on that scale and all would be right in the world. It wasContinue reading “Victoria is having a hard time keeping my secret”
Through the Fog and the Mist

We expect things from others based on whatContinue reading “Through the Fog and the Mist”
