Through The Tulips

Here I am- a day late and a dollar short with day 9. I had a funeral to attend yesterday, along with a few other things and I don’t think I ever turned the computer on yesterday. I could have probably written via the iPhone, but truth is, I just didn’t feel like it. Unfortunately, [...]

Today is day 8 of this challenge and since Ipeeked at what today’s would be, I actually had some time to think about it.  We are supposed to describe a moment, which can be anything.  I wanted it to be something profound, or at least something that was profound for me, and then it hit [...]

I was watching something today that talked about how people complain about how it costs more to eat healthy but yet they spend money on more useless things than ever. Research has shown that if you buy fresh, unprocessed foods that your grocery bill may be a little higher, but your cost of healthcare or [...]

This morning when I checked my email, I found this in the midst of all the mail. I loved it, and thought that possibly sharing it with others would touch them the way it has me. “Should you find yourself at a loss, wondering what life is all about and what your purpose is, be [...]

I was reading an article about healthy lifestyles and something in the article triggered a thought about how we tend to compare ourselves to others and measure our own success (or failures) on how others who are on the same journey are doing.

Today has been one of those truly great days when it seems like everything good happens and you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Does it mean that my day has been perfect? Of course it doesn’t, but I refuse to give the negative any power and take way the joy of the good things, so [...]

Have you ever thought about how some of the ‘great’ advances in medicine have turned out to be more of a problem than something good? I was thinking about that the other day and about how some of the weight loss medications over the years have ended up causing heart problems and weren’t quite the [...]

Yesterday I started reading this book called Women, Food and God and even though I’m only on chapter 2, I’ve really been able to see myself in so many of the points that have already been made. I think about all the things I’ve learned, and about the precentages of the people who gain the [...]
