Let it go
I keep hearing myself saying the words, “let it go.”
I have consistently been bothered when people have pointed this phrase in my direction through the years. It makes me feel invalidated. Yet, here I am… over and over and over, telling myself to “let it go.” Dramatically, I even take a deep breath and sort of push my hands away from my body when I think these...

Beautiful weather
It gorgeous here.
The 70-some weather has had me pedding it again. Though it always feels great to get out and walk 4-9 miles in a day… I find myself completely exhausted on friday night.
Plop.
That’s how I feel.

Letting Go
I have always had a hard time letting go of painful experiences. I let them bother me. They fester. They reoccur. They chase me around my life and prevent me from appreciating what is good.
I’ve spent too much of my life accumulating negative experiences. I need to let them go.
I need to make room for all of the splendor of vibrant personality that celebrates me. My family. My...

12 Months With Dreadlocks
Today is my one year anniversary with this set of dreadlocks.
Non-dread people often think that the way dread-heads celebrate the passing of time by inflating the value of their knots is dumb. But when you have dreadlocks, your hair isn’t just a style. It’s actually a lifestyle. Weird, and probably impossible to understand unless you have them.
Dreadlocks are difficult to have,...
facebook...what the eff?
Anna Holler - Buzz - Public
More and more I wonder what is happening to facebook. First the whole breastfeeding thing and now this http: //www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=nf&gid=316750805558.
reasons when its acceptable to punch a woman in the face | Facebook
Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, post links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.

Laura Seymour - thanks for reposting this. you're right...even if it's meant to be "funny", it's not....Edit6: 41 am
Julie Wagner - ok... do I have this correct? They want to remove breastfeeding pictures but its ok to have a group with 31,000 people who condone abuse. WTF?! (a group in which the creator doesn't know the difference between your and you're??)7: 41 am
Anna Holler - I'm beginning to feel that facebook is the most sexist, oppressive thing that I've been exposed to in a long time. The weirdest thing to me about the breastfeeding thing is that they don't allow photos of breastfeeding... even when there is no exposure. Just the act itself is offensive to facebook. And this can be translated to: breasts are sexual and sexual things are indecent to have in your facebook profile pictures. And yet, breasts that actually are more exposed and photographed in a sexual way... are not removed. I am SURE that if I took a photo of myself in a low cut shirt and a push up bra and had a grown mans head at my chest... it would not be taken down. But if it's the same photo with babies head... it is. One is sexual and one is nutritional. It just doesn't make any sense.
Here is what I am SURE of. These messages are hurtful to man and womankind. These messages are irresponsible. It makes me sick.8: 33 am
Julie Wagner - I clicked "like" because there isn't an "AMEN, sing it sistah!" button8: 42 am
Laura Seymour - i did the same thing!Edit8: 44 am
Anna Holler - Thanks Ladies.
You know, I don't even feel like public breastfeeding is something that I feel strongly about. To me, it's a non-issue. It's just the way people feed their babies and babies sometimes need to eat in publicly.
I do have a problem with division and inequality. And that's that.8: 48 am
Laura Seymour - that's exactly how i feel...great minds...Edit8: 52 am
Julie Wagner - I can't like again... LOL8: 54 am
Amy Mueller - it's not funny at all. it pisses me off. you should tumble this. very well said.8: 57 am

Mmm... brunch!
We’re venturing out to a new brunch place to gobble up eggs and take down bloody mary’s. I LOVE brunch! I recently read a review of this place. It’s the oldest continuously operated tavern in Philadelphia and happens to be just three blocks from our home.

And if I like it, I have plans to go back for karaoke next Friday night.

This is WONDERFUL!
motivation
Wow… I’m having trouble getting motivated today. My belly feels a little bit funky (which I fear is from this new supplement.) Generally I help out at Bunny’s school on M,W and F, but I’m taking the day off. I’ll just pick Lila up at noon and hangout at home for the afternoon. After all, it’s not as if there’s not a mountain of laundry that piles up to...
It probably works
Because I feel immune to the placebo effect/psychological expectation/hope of diet aids and supplements, I conclude that this CLA stuff must really work at appetite suppression. Because I didn’t expect it, I just consider it a nice bonus. I have learned that for it to be effective I will need to take about 5000 mgs a day. Also, I wrote to my dr. to ask her opinion on this medication. ...
CLA-1300
The claim is that cla doesn’t allow your little fat cells to grow bigger. It doesn’t reduce the size of your big-fat cells… only hard work does this. ClA is further supposed to increase lean muscle mass.
I’m embarking on a one month trial .
I’ll let you know what happens.
appetite crunch
After researching natural appetite suppressors all morning, I’m running out to Whole Foods to pick a few things up. More on this later…
