It was decadent and delicious. And, while I felt comfortably full when we left the restaurant, I just didn’t feel…
From Fixing To Feeling
Yesterday morning, Osh and I were hanging before I started work.

The World Needs More Of You
Sarah Silverman said, “Mother Teresa didn’t walk around complaining about her thighs – she had shit to do.” Let’s chat about that shit today. I know I can’t be alone in the serious self/life reflection that has been going on for me lately, right? As 2015 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the…
