Killing me Softly

I have been over weight as long as I can remember. Chubby kid in school. Plus size wedding dress. Fat mom on the soccer field. It has really never kept me from doing what I wanted to do. Scuba, motorcyclist, soccer coach and a bunch of stuff in between. I just accepted that I wasn't meant to be skinny for some reason and went with it. I have been a lucky fat chick in that I have had zero health issues due to my weight. My BP is normal. I can touch my toes

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective In “ Color Struck ,” Zora Neale Hurston (2005) illustrates the tragedy of a couple in the 1900’s. John, a light brown-skinned man, and Emma, a black woman, attend a cake walk to represent their community and bring home the grand prize. Emma is so preoccupied with her misguided ideas of the prejudices of others that she inadvertently sabotages her relationship with John.

I have learned that sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all. Especially when I am pissed off. Anger never translates to reason and understanding. When I start to do something, I often ask myself how it will effect people. Am I going to step on toes or hurt feelings. Is it going to make me look like a total douche bag?? I have always been the type to "try" to filter my thoughts before I blurt or react. I know that I have stopped myself from things based on the answers to the above questions. Sometimes stopping myself helps spare others while in turn hurting me. Typ...

Long week...

It has been a long week. One foot in front of the other...one moment at a time. That is how I have learned to plow through this proverbial roller coaster of life. Disappointed to be going on vacation with out my Love. Excited to be getting to go on vacation. Sad to be away from hubs while traveling. Ecstatic to get solid quality face to face with sissy. Frustrated that my health has so much control over my life. Blessed to be alive to face these challenges. Annoyed at work related BS that effects my financial well being and having no control over it. Thankful to have a job. Its a balance....
