Bluegrass Widow: Studio 16 and Other Stuff

http://bluegrasswidow.blogspot.com/2008/08/studio-16-and-other-stuff.html

Tales of a Bluegrass Widow. Friday, August 22, 2008. Studio 16 and Other Stuff. Just as we were exiting their road and starting out on the main highway, which once was the Trans Canada Highway, at Sheffield, Michael reminded me that he had put his laptop in the back seat for me, in case I felt the urge to blog. I said I didn’t really much feel like it, but I was reminded that I had so much to write about. Such as? Oh yes, all the events taking place lately at Studio 16. How could I forget? We moved from ...

We Belong, We Belong Together | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/we-belong-we-belong-together

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. March 23, 2014. We Belong, We Belong Together. I have an intense desire to belong to something greater than myself. This isn’t against human nature. I, and every other person out there, evolved to be like this. Currently, I’m reading two books: why we believe in god(s) by J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer. And Create Your Own Religion by Daniele Bolelli. I want a cold reading. Food Addicts in Recovery.

Brutal | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/brutal

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. July 22, 2015. I have to be brutal today. Brutally honest with myself and with anyone who reads this who suffers from compulsive overeating disorder or is in relapse from her or his program. I am in lost in the thick mental haze of compulsive eating today, and it is a horrible place to exist. Why would I do this if I know program works? I was unhealthy, losing my hair, sallow-skinned, constantly tired, but I was thin and...

A Sole-Weary Woman’s Instep with A Barefoot Wanderer | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/a-sole-weary-womans-instep-with-a-barefoot-wanderer

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. March 24, 2014. A Sole-Weary Woman’s Instep with A Barefoot Wanderer. I read today’s entry from Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life by Joe C. Today’s entry is about the story of runner Christopher McDougall, who wrote the book, Born to Run. What am I running to? What am I running from? When was the last time I ran just for fun? Moving Myself Instead of Mountains. Is this how love is expressed by the supernat...

A Whole Lot of Changes in a Short Period of Time | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2014/03/22/a-whole-lot-of-changes-in-a-short-period-of-time

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. March 22, 2014. A Whole Lot of Changes in a Short Period of Time. I get intense anxiety when I face off with huge changes in short periods of time. These changes get me looking at myself, what I am trying to control but cannot. What I had with it. Oh, it may have been stress-inducing, but my hope at the initiation of a transitional period caused more anxiety and more pain. It definitely isn’t about having a taste o...

Agua Fresca | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2015/05/24/agua-fresca

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. May 24, 2015. I am humbly grateful that my rock bottom was 200 lbs. instead of 300 lbs. this time. So, why would I drink so much water? Has a wonderful article with simple reasons why to drink water as part of a healthy life, entitled “Water and Weight Loss”. How did I determine how much water to drink? This came from a recommendation from a very fit and healthy friend about 15 years ago:. 600 Calories of Grain/Starches.

A Work in Progress | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2015/05/21/a-work-in-progress

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. May 21, 2015. A Work in Progress. Yeah, recovery after relapse is *so* fun. I don’t think any of us wants to feel pain, but numbing that pain with a junk food high hurts worse than working through the pain down to its source through program. Numbing out adds extra problems:. Physically, I gain weight and my body aches. I feel sick; I feel the disease. Spiritually, I am adrift. I have no direction and no purpose. ...You a...

Back in the Saddle Again | A 40-Something Fool's Journey

https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2015/05/19/back-in-the-saddle-again

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. May 19, 2015. Back in the Saddle Again. Please bear with me . . . it’s been a very long time since I’ve added an entry here. A whole lot of life has passed between March 24 of last year and today. Does this mean my other problems are magically gone? So, as I settle in to my first 24 hours in my second go-round, I’m not sure what will be at the end of the day. Will I be abstinent for today’s 24 hours? Today, I am remember...
