Sometimes, when I sit in silence, I come up with some thoughts that I think are pretty great and I hope that they’ll inspire you to do something amazing for yourself. This one came to me this morning in savasana at Core Fusion. This morning had me feeling a little overwhelmed. I think a lot [ Read More ]
I don’t want to give any particular incident any credence, but you know as well as I do that there are a lot of scary things about there right now. From senseless violence to prejudice and bigotry and an entire media seemingly Hell-bent on promoting self-loathing so we’ll buy more products, there seems to be [ Read More ]
Engaging title, yes? Ok, so let’s discuss. Class, if you will please open up your July 2012 Marie Claire to pages 94-96 and read “What I Miss About Being Fat,” by Sarah Elizabeth Richards.

I had something planned for this morning’s Daily Reflection, but my girl Alexis Wolfer inspired me with her Makeup Free Mondays concept so much that I wanted to write about it.
