Jolene

Last night, my mother gave one of her presentations of our family’s journey through anorexia to a local group of women.

Christmas With Anorexia

I had a post all drafted up for today, but I threw it out the window in lieu of something else much more important. Christmas seems to be a loaded time for many things; our tables are laden with wonderful food and our week is saturated with family events. It is a happy time. We… Read More…

More than you will ever know

More than you will ever know

We have someone in our family who is just..awkward. We want him to leave and we have told him this, but he follows us everywhere.

Jar of Hearts

Christmas dredges up a lot of different feelings for me and I have to say I am relieved. For a very long time, I have not felt much regarding Jolene; people ask how I am doing and the answer is fine. I am not lying. I am. I have had this discussion often with my… Read More…

Race Prep

So last night, I arrived home and the mail fairy had been at my house. Angela hooked me up with some free stuff from Silver Hills Bakery. I got a cute little t-shirt, stickers and 5 coupons for a free loaf of their bread. I am even more excited because it is sprouted whole grain… Read More…
