It's been almost two months now since I did this big, huge, scary project. And as I edit video and try to match it up with what I wrote in my journal, it doesn't always jive perfectly. In my journal at this point, I wrote mostly about the psychological transformations Hubby and I went through just enjoying the emptiness. We had never … [Read more...]

The Biggest Slob Excuse of All (And How I Got Over It)
I didn't actually say all these excuses would be my current excuses. Did I? Whatever. It's my blog and I can write what I want. (Now just a warning . . .
