CHUB RUB AND SWIMDRESSES
I am in this weird place of trying to be fit and healthy but still appreciate the body and the beauty of exactly where I am.
THE SAD TRUTH ABOUT STEREOTYPES
I was not sad that I had been stereotyped. I was sad the stereotype existed, but not for the reason you would think. My sadness was not that people are stereotyping “church people,” my emotion came because of the truth about some stereotypes.
Eye of the Beholder
I was so proud of RCC and how hard everyone had worked to get to launch day. Why was I allowing perfectionism to take away a moment that cannot be relived?

CHUBBY CONFESSIONS
I have to confess….
Although the tagline of my blog page is, “lessons on finding grace to be okay with yourself,” I have no grace for one part of myself right now.
I see this part no matter where I look on my body- chub… and lots of it.
