“I Can Lose Weight, But You’ll Always Be Stupid.”
[ 7 ] 09/12/2011

“I Can Lose Weight, But You’ll Always Be Stupid.”

Pin itThat’s an often-suggested response to others who might criticize your body shape or size. While it might feel good as a retort, it doesn’t address the underlying issue – that someone else thinks they have a right to criticize your body. Over the past few months, I’ve had several clients mention that their parents [...]

Thank you, Life, I have enough lemons now

Pin itA friend told me last night that she had taken a personality test that told her she was a perfectionist. I nodded in agreement. “I am not,” she said. “Oh, you so totally are,” I replied. That conversation made me think a bit, and I fully admit to being a perfectionist as well. I [...]

A Few Lessons Learned While Riding My Bike

Pin itI was inspired by a posting over at FatCyclist entitled “What I Learned From Riding My Bike” and thought it would make a great topic to start a lessons learned meme. I personally think it’s an important part of everything we do in life to take some time to look back at what we’ve [...]

True Confessions
