Are you as impulsive as I am?
Hello, hello Reader!
Happy day to you! I find that I'm the kind of person who loves to plan and schedule things, but really struggles with following through on those plans and schedules. Can you relate?
Spontaneity is a thing I do. It somehow gives me joy??? [insert confused, yet amused facial expression here... is there an emoji for that?]
And this week, on a whim, after being inspired by a YouTube video about why folks who have passionately loved reading in the past tend to stop reading, I decided to start a reading challenge of my own!
So if you're game to practice re-developing your reading habit (or even starting from scratch!), then join in and read with me!
Here are the guidelines:
- Each day, grab a book -- doesn't matter which one!
- Read for 5 minutes.
- Tell me you did it so I can celebrate you!!! Do this by commenting on any of my Read With Me Challenge videos on social media or by using the hashtag #ReadWithMeChallenge
- Wash, rinse, repeat!
Are you in?
Exciting things are happening in the world of health and wellness culture that intersects with fat liberation!!! One of those is the Reimagining Health & Wellness Summit hosted by Pia Schiavo-Campo, the Mixed Fat Chick.
This FREE 10-day summit will be held from May 3-13, 2022, and will feature conversations between Pia and 20+ phenomenal speakers (including yours truly!). These videos will help you let go of what's holding you back so that you can thrive in the body you have today.

Big Fat Hugs and Kisses!

Hey Reader! Years ago, I got into the work of Gretchen Rubin. She's somebody who did lots of research around happiness and even published a book about it. One big thing I took away from her work (nothing about happiness, somehow), was that I was an Obliger. Here's what her quiz results say about folks like me, "Obligers meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet inner expectations. Of all the Tendencies, Obligers are the biggest group, and the ones whom people count on the most. They put a...
Hey Reader. [read this with your ears by clicking here] Do you ever catch yourself sliding down the YouTube rabbit hole of videos that you're watching for "curiosity" or "entertainment" sake, yet are thinly veiled self-punishments because you spend the entire time judging yourself for what you aren't doing already but think you should be? No? Just me?? Well, that's fine. Because if you keep reading I'll tell you more about the wild landscape that is inside my brain and maybe you'll find...
Happy 44th unbirthday to you, Reader! (unless it actually IS your birthday today and then YAAAYYYY!!! Happy Birthday to yoooooouuuu!!!) I'm not a big birthday celebrator... I think it has to do with the fact that I put so much into producing birthdays for my child. But mostly it probably has to do more with the facts that I'm just mentally and emotionally busy right now and most of the people I really want to do stuff with live across oceans from me. Le sigh. Either way, I'm sharing my...
