I cannot remember whether I have posted before and after pictures here. So, I apologize if you have already seen these. While I have been larger than this (with an all time high of 235), this is a pretty good representation of what I looked like for most of my adult life (except that I…
In my work as a therapist, I cannot tell you how often I have used the movie “Runaway Bride” as an example for my female patients/clients (and some of the males). So many people do not know who they are. They go from relationship to relationship and job to job becoming whomever they need to be in…
How many of you live and die by the number on the scale? Does it make your day if it is a smaller number and crush you if it is a larger number? Do you weigh daily? More than once/day? First thing in the morning on an empty stomach or after an hour of cardio…
“Just say no” was a part of an anti-drug campaign in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. However, that is not how I am using this phrase. Instead, I am encouraging you to say no to a broader range of situations and people. How many times have you said yes to someone’s request for you to do…
As a therapist, I cannot begin to tell you the frequency with which I use airplane pre-flight instructions to illustrate the need for self-care. I am sure that you remember the flight attendant saying something like… “If you are flying with small children or others who may need assistance, please place your own oxygen mask…
Funny how the world works. I have affirmation cards at work and I pulled one today. (note: I randomly – without looking – select a card each day) This is what the card said: “Loving others is easy when I love and accept myself. My heart is open. I allow my love to flow freely.…
We leave tomorrow and the surgery is in two days. Tomorrow at this time, we should be more than halfway to the coast. I would like to say that I slept really well again last night. However, not so much. I slept enough, just restless and BIZARRE dreams. I have mentioned in previous posts just…
No, I am not talking about the right husband, wife, life partner, etc. However, it is still a matter of the heart. Heart surgeons that is. I met with my first potential heart surgeon today. We waited for over an hour before meeting with his nurse practitioner (who was reasonably nice). She gathered history and…
Yesterday we were getting ready to go to the lake for the first time this season. I had my bathing suit on and grabbed some shorts. They were too tight. Ugh! I grabbed another pair and I could not even pull them up. Same with another and another. The last pair I had left, finally…
Before: You have such a pretty face! “I can’t imagine you have THAT much to lose!” I think you are pretty the way you are… During: Wow, you look great, be careful you don’t lose too much weight! “I thought you looked great before, but now…!” How are you doing it? Really, just exercising and…

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.
