  • When It Isn’t What I Thought!

    When I first had weight loss surgery I had a lap band. I can hear it right now, “why the heck did you do that Tash?” Well back in the day, the lap band was “the in thing”. It was going to fix my chubbiness and I was going to be able to finally be…

  • Counting down

    Yesterday was one of the most awful days I have had in a very long time. It was a low point – nearly as low as how I felt, oh about two years ago around this time. I was down, feeling unsure of myself, triggered physically as I struggle with my low iron levels and…

  • Endings and beginnings

    In this life what goes round comes round – I have accepted that. I have also accepted that some changes can be a good thing. 2021 has already been full of endings for us but it is also full of new beginnings too!! Some things are horribly sad but from those horribly hard and sad…

  • Wine, Beer, Whiskey

    I wanted to go out tonight – but in our covid conscious society the days of happily opting to venture forth in search of fun and merriment without a lot of forward planning, are sadly behind us 😔 Perhaps this is a good thing because I do plan to see if I can make the…

  • Hugs change the world

    The best hugs of all come from people that love you and do it minus an agenda. Give me those souls every day. I consider myself fortunate to have those ones in my life.

  • 2021

    2021 snuck up on me like that unpleasant relatives birthday party….. you know the one! It’s the one that no one really wants to attend ….. but we do because we have to and we just sort of hope to enjoy it once we are there! Well that is 2021 to me and here I…

  • Kindness is free

    I often catch myself in situations when I feel less than charitable! The meanie in me wants to come out and have her say. Honestly part of being human seems to be seeing the things in others that we don’t necessarily like or agree with but I have also lived on this large rock long…

  • To Be Kind

    Recently, one of my children has faced a situation that activated and challenged their deepest thoughts and beliefs. While I do believe that our spur of the moment, instant responses to situations may not always reflect positively on us – they do speak to the type of person that we are on the inside. I…

  • Priceless

    Sometimes the best blessings are the things that we do not get. Sometimes the best things of all are lessons that we learn along the way. I couldn’t be more thankful for the last 3 years of my life if I tried. It’s been hard, beyond what I wanted to ever endure but I have…

  • Surround yourself with the doers

    The biggest changes in my physical self may have commenced in 2018 but the most gigantic change in me as a person began in 2020. I learned a really valuable lesson. That lesson has changed and saved my life! I knew that what you feed will grow. I have seen that in my life over…
