Mind Body and Spirit
So I came across this in a group that I’m a part of and thought... this is the most accurate thing I’ve read in terms of health and self care. Now some people wonder how does this relate to health or self care? It’s simple really, and I’ll explain.

Dear Nobody
Dear Nobody, Yes, that's right, I took your name away because it no longer has power here. I trusted you when you were untrustworthy, and I loved you even though you don't know how to return love. I gave you my heart, but you truly, despite of all the time in the gym, were not strong enough to hold it. I believed in you, when you couldn't believe in us, let alone me. You, nobody are nothing, and maybe you never were.

Approval Not Needed
I have no idea how I want to start this entry. I've tried several times to find the right intro but perhaps because what I really want to say is so important about self-worth and standing confidently in your skin, I should just come right out with it. Nothing is more effective I find than straight forward talks.

Gratitude
Gratitude, it is something that often times is overlooked and forgotten. We get hung up on everything that didn't go our way, but forget to say and show gratitude for the things we received instead. Maybe we didn't receive the promotion we asked for, the relationship with who we thought was "the one" didn't workout, or just life seems to be beating us up lately. Whatever the reason, we forget there are so many other things happening that we should show gratitude for.

Courage
So today was a dreary day where I live. Lots of thunderstorms and rain, which meant staying close to home and naps, lots of naps. So I used the day to catch up on much needed rest, hanging out with my son, and watching a few videos of some of my favorite speakers. Today was Trent Shelton, he was promoting his new book in a live video and taking questions from the Rehab Family. Of course, lots of people made encouraging comments, showed gratitude for the difference he's made in their lives through his words, etc. etc. etc.

The Elusive Dick Pic
So let me start with we’ve all received the unsolicited dick pic. Maybe you were impressed, and maybe you weren’t. However, we’ve all gotten one or a hundred. In fact, I got one today and thought to myself “ geez, it literally has not changed since yesterday!”

Lonely or Alone
So I find myself single again after three and a half years of putting up unnecessary bullshit from a man who didn’t know how to love me. During that time I made a million and one changes, as we as women normally do, to appeal to his sense of what I was supposed to be and look like to no avail. In the process, of course, I lost who I essentially am.

Crossing That Bridge... Maybe Not
Let’s start with some background: We dated off and on for over three years. Lived together, then didn’t, then did and then didn’t... you see the pattern here. And you might be thinking why? Well, to start, I’m 10 years his senior, and was going through my divorce when I met him. I’m also a mom, and he has no children. When we met, I was with my son at the time, and so he had the full picture from the start. I can honestly say I was flattered when he gave me his number but didn’t expect much to come from it. I was 38 and he was turning 28 in about a month. So you can see why I didn’t expect it to last as long as it did. He was charming, omg was he charming. Things were great.
