Bitten
I had been warding them off for days. They were coming at me aggressively from all angles. Sadly, one of them happened to be my darling little offspring. Finally, on Sunday they wore me down. I was bitten. You know the type: They spread their negativity freely, they are never grateful or thankful, they blame […]
Guilty indulgence
I couldn’t help myself. Before I knew it I had put them in my cart. I was enticed by the low price of .99. I now see why the .99 fast-food value menu works for some. As I put them in my cart I felt a little guilty. Without me checking the label I already […]
This and That
I’m a blogger. What does that mean exactly? Honestly, I’m not sure. I’m a gal who always has loved to write, once I started my weight loss and self-transformation journey I decided to share it. My blog posts are inspired by everyday life. Sometimes I think of a blog post and it sits in my […]
Information Overload
Enough already. In pursuit of health, wellness, and a slimmer, fitter body folks offer me advice all the time. I’m open to suggestions, feedback, new ideas and sometimes I seek the information. Currently, however, I feel inundated with information. What to eat. What not to eat. Whey Protein or Soy Protein. Agave or sugar. How […]
Dewey Decimal
My greatest honor to date — my convenient little self-published cookbook “Bringing Cooking Back” now has a dewey decimal number, 641.563 MOSLEY. Words really can’t describe how elated I feel. I’ve always been a fan of the public library system — promoting books, reading, literacy, and community activities. Now, I am a part of this […]
Common denominator
A few years ago, my world came crashing down around me. For weeks, I decided to do nothing about it, other than take sleeping pills and sleep the days away. When I finally woke up I had to take a real hard look at myself. I noticed that often times when there was a problem […]
What’s IN
I had the pleasure of hanging out and shopping with my daughter the other day. As we were headed to the car in the parking lot of the mall a guy passed by riding a bike and smoking a cigarette. We both looked at each other bewildered. I said, “Smoking is so played out.” She […]

Plan B
I use to have a hard time with being told no. I just don’t like rejection. Who does? As a mature adult, I’ve learned to accept no and to always have a Plan B in place. Actually, I kind of like being told no. Usually, when I’m told no I go back to the drawing […]
No quitter
In corpse pose, I lied on the floor tears running down my face. Tears of relief, satisfaction, joy, completion. I’ve taken Yoga many times before and prior to my fractured leg it was a part of my regular workout routine. I love how it makes me feel — connected. It’s rare that we sit still […]
