Not Letting Fear Interfere: Igniting My Life Spark

June 6, 2012

Angelina: Little Angel This dog’s name couldn’t be more fitting.  If it wasn’t for her, I really don’t know if I could have stayed in recovery.  She has been a source of joy and comfort, and at times, minor frustrations when she eats random things that she shouldn’t when we’re outside and then she thinks [...]

April 8, 2012

Today I am working on my thesis, vision board, going to take Angie for a walk, and then go shopping.  This time last year I had chosen to stop day treatment for my eating disorder and go to the Intensive Outpatient Level.  The year before that was the first time I ever purged and when [...]

How Yoga Bruised My Ego

April 6, 2012

Yesterday was a decent day.  I might even have the gall to call it a good day, but I hesitate ever so slightly for superstitious fear that acknowledging my inability to find anything wrong with it will bring upon me a cascade of bad luck.  I woke up, finished some work for class, took Angie [...]
