Our Lady of Weight Loss

If I had a nickle every time someone told me that they weren’t losing weight fast enough, or that they weren’t manifesting their dreams soon enough, or they weren’t being who they are not yet but want to be today not tomorrow, I’d have a million nickles, no exaggeration.  (Maybe, with inflation ‘n all, I…

Sometimes we do things, both consciously and unconsciously, that we imagine will soothe, comfort and feed our souls, while in fact, they do not.   Instead, these acts, these experiences that we create knock us off balance; these acts pull us away from our core, away from our authentic selves. They exhaust, they drain and sap…

JUDGING Machines:  Me (for sure) and YOU, too??? I suspect that when you pay attention to your thoughts and note each and every time you judge something, judge anything (from … the coffee is good – to- oh no, it’s gray outside – to- I ate too much), you will find that there’s a whole…

Are you #Puzzled?  Did you step onto the Scales of Injustice this morning? And…did you find the number on said scale puzzling? As you click through this week’s Get Jiggy Weight Loss JigSaw Puzzle, “The Javelina Herald,” consider how the scale reflected as it did (in either direction, up or down) and what behaviors you…

Hey there, Tushkateers!  We had a little dinner party last weekend with our vegan friends, which was fabulous!  Great conversation, lots of laughs, fabulous martinis and an incredible Lentil Stew (served over rice of your choice, although I recommend Basmati).  I made the Lentil Stew in my slow cooker, which is nearly fool proof.  In…

This past week, while walking through a real bookstore (vs. chair or online happening), I picked up a copy of “The Courage to Create” by Rollo May, a brilliant exploration of creativity.  The first chapter speaks to the different types of courage:  physical courage, moral courage, social courage and creative courage. The word—courage—derived from the…

When was the last time that you were so engrossed in an activity or passionately at play that you forgot to eat? Maybe, say – when you were 10? Playing with your Ken and Barbie dolls? If you find that you are all too often foraging for food, searching for snacks, or rummaging for rations,…

Greetings Tushkateers!  How are y’all doing on this Kick Tush Tuesday?  I’m okay.  A-okay.  Fabulous, in fact, and that’s not to say that every single moment of my life is a cake-walk or a sweet treat.  There are little minefields here there and everywhere.  Like when people say…well, let’s just say, ‘mindless things’ to peeve…

This week’s Get Jiggy Weight Loss JigSaw Puzzle ponders the “One Bite” theory as it invites you to “Smoke on Your Pipe and Ponder: One Bite…More or Less?” Is “One Bite” enough to satisfy?  Enough to allow you to let go of those pesty feelings of deprivation?  Or will “One Bite” set you down, down,…

Learning to be content with where you are, what you are doing, what you have, who you are with and who you are is no easy task.  Yet, it is a task worth doing; a task that can create tremendous change. Because, when you accept who you are, when you stop criticizing yourself, when you…
