For this year, I thought long and hard about what I wanted to ask...

Trolless or Goddess?

Two incredible things happened this weekend. One awesome and one horrible. And they both lead to the same thing.

Wanna know what happened? Of course you do! Who doesn't want to hear juicy gossip, lol?! Fair warning, this is long but it's worth it!

Ok, so let's start with the bad so we can get it out of the way...

Getting Married at 73

The other day in Physical Therapy, I saw this frail, older woman sitting in a wheelchair. I ended up next to her during my squatting exercise on a Pogo-Ball kind of thing (remember these?!).

She was doing an exercise where she was just lifting each leg up to a step. Slowly and surely, meticulously, lifting one leg up at a time...that was her exercise. I looked like American Gladiator next to her and she turned to me and said, you're lucky to be able to do that.
How right she was. I told her how grateful I am for my health and imagine she did a lot when she was younger. She smiled and started telling me about her life.

Joan was her name.

Want to make your Thanksgiving memorable this year?

0 Comments

It was 2012 and I had the turkey brining (yes, the Alton Brown method of putting your turkey in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket filled with salt water) and sides prepping and I decided to do something new this go round besides focusing only on food.

In a moment of inspiration, I took some branches off my tree, grabbed some spray paint and sprayed them a beautiful metallic gold. Tree branches never looked so pretty and with a tall, skinny, glass vase I had at home, I stuck those branches in it with some rocks and voila! I had created a grand centerpiece for $6. I then took my papercutter and cut out cardstock squares for every single one of my guests, with their name on it, and hung those with ribbon off of the branches. I was so proud of my display right when you entered the party.

But, this isn't a note about how to make beautiful centerpieces. What happened from there is what made it the most memorable Thanksgiving...

So, what happened?

Well what happened was seriously AH-mazing and liberating!

For those of you who have been following, I went on a reading deprivation, or fast let's call it, for 1 week. That meant no reading of books, no watching TV, and NO social media (yes, that means no Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and I threw in no WhatsApp for good measure). You can read why I did it at my post here: Distraction, Deprivation, or Dream-cation?

The week was SO much better than expected and I felt...

You know those times when you feel like you're in a good groove with something and then you miss one time and then another and then another?

Like a great workout routine you start, and you're consistent and motivated and the momentum is building and you're like I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

And then one day you have to miss a workout...you're tired, your head hurts, you had a bad day, you ate chik-fil-a, or you just don't feel like it. Whatever it is, you say...

OMG...this is SO embarrassing...

I was on a flight the other day and super hungry so I ordered a 'healthy' snack of hummus and chips.

Fact #1 - hummus is pureed chick peas...which are straight up beans...which means gasiness central!

Why is this fact important? Well I ate my snack in joy and then a few minutes later, I had to fart SO bad. But I couldn't get to the bathroom because the drinks cart was still in the aisle and I was STUCK.

SO....

Perfect and admired or Real and loved?

After a difficult conversation with my husband last week (he would call it an argument...tomato, tomAtoe), I decided to distract myself by curling up on the couch in my pjs and reading a girly book.

Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton had been on my short list and it was INCREDIBLE. It was like being seen and heard by someone...except she has no idea who I am.
This particular passage summed it up beautifully:

Have you ever felt like you made a mistake?

We all make 'mistakes' and it can feel debilitating at times. Thinking ugh...why did I do that?! Maybe playing the scenario over and over again in your mind. Or not moving forward out of fear or because of regret.

But what if the mistake wasn't wasn't a big deal or maybe not even a mistake?

What Makes A Good Life?

I just watched a beautiful Ted Talk by Robert Waldinger on 'Lessons from the Longest Study on Happiness.'

The big takeaway - relationships matter most. It still catches me by surprise. At this point, how many times have you heard that connection and quality relationships are more meaningful than wealth, fame and achievement? And yet, how many times do we go after those very things?
