I’m starting to get back into writing, more so than ever before in my life and I’m enjoying it a great deal. And I found a blog that speaks to me quite clearly: Eat Move Write.
I mean, come on: it fits me like a glove! 
What is the great giant dollop of whipped cream on this sundae is that she is a writer and enjoys challenging her readers who fancy themselves writers.
Like me.
And I tied for third in her short story contest!
Mentally – even spiritually – writing has gotten me through some of the toughest times in my life. Long after my loved ones were tired of hearing the same old complaints and laments, my notebook was still willing and able to bear the weight of my grief, my anger, my obsessions.
I pose this thought: that people need this kind of outlet. Everyone needs some way to express themselves, even if they are the only ones that understand it. Writing, photography, running track, doing math, whatever.
Find your outlet and use it. It won’t bite back, it’ll never fail you.
So I will write. For me. For my sanity.

Mostly because my knee jerk reaction was...
Eating the EmptinessA post written during a lunch hour last Friday: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Although this is sort of ironic to even post about this, let me tell you one of the things that I absolutely must improve on: negative self talk. I still have moments of self ridicule, of treating my body so poorly despite the fact that only moments...
Is reading stories or watching movies detrimental?Think about it. I don't know about y'all, but when I'm under stress I retreat into books and movies. Before my wedding, I spent a good portion of the morning with my nose sunk into Harry Potter. I even read whilst in my wedding dress. And it dawned on me last...
Trinity: an examination of the LoriciousI'm exhausted today and I can immediately pinpoint why: I haven't been religious about my allergy medication. I haven't been formally diagnosed with specifics mostly because my physicians in the past have been like, "Oh, well, here is some nasal spray. Doesn't matter what it is, just shoot it." I'm kinda over the whole "just take...
Comfort eatingSo I have had a stressful week emotion-wise. Tuesday and Wednesday, despite some emotional upheaval, went over quite well (which included a stunning dinner provided by our very own Jess...mmmm....stirfry....). But then yesterday happened. And I went out to coffee with a friend of mine to try a new coffee drink, and I forgot...
