Our Lady of Weight Loss

Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss ~ I was sitting at my desk, feeling just fine, minding my own business, thinking about work, all the things that I needed to do, and then out of nowhere. I swear, out of NO-Where, a craving came rolling through that literally knocked me off my “tush,” and landed…

After yesterday’s shockingly sad news about the death of Robin Williams, his alleged suicide, and the knowledge that he was battling severe depression, each and every person I spoke to brought the topic “depression” to the table.   Those conversations informed today’s post, which highlights a few simple strategies to move past depression.

This week’s Get Jiggy Weight Loss JigSaw Puzzle, “Howl at the SuperMoon,” is inspired by the SuperMoon! Last night, the moon called to me, “Janny, come outside NOW!”  (Yes, the moon calls me Janny, because we are tight; she is my BFF!)  The Moon continued, “I am the supermoon.” “Yes, you are super!

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. ~ Harry Emerson Fosdick Yes, that’s right.  Bitterness imprisons.  Holding on to your unhappy state is the antithesis of…

Do you love pickled foods? I do! Pickled beets, pickled beans, pickled cucumbers a.k.a. pickles, and pickled eggs! Love the taste and the color! That pickled red is amazing, is it not?   In fact, I’m wondering why there’s no crayon or paint color named after it. You can pickle from scratch or you could, as…

Fear of the #unknown may find you frozen: Frozen in your tracks, terrified of the uncertainty of what is to come. So fearful that you remain where you are, a place that feels, in some way, shape or form lacking. You know that Life Is Short, and you want to Move Past Your Fears, you…

If you spend the day (all of it or any part of it) pretending that you are happy when you are not, pretending to fit in when you don’t, pretending to be okay when you are not okay, I’d like to suggest that you simply try being okay with not being okay. Pretending is exhausting,…
