For today’s #LoveMe Challenge, I am going to share something I did right. Now, I am usually under the delusion that I’m always right; but I know that at times I can make the wrong decision (like that last shot of tequila), say the wrong thing (really, your baby doesn’t look like a squished alien), or do something at the… Read more »
Sharing a quote is today’s #LoveMe Challenge. I am going to pick a quote from one of my favorite comediennes because as we head into the weekend, we could also use a laugh that makes us think…or a think that makes us laugh… It’s a funny line, but also a great message behind it. For years when I was young,… Read more »
Today was the first day that I made an appearance in the office. The doctor recommended that I not go into the office until the wound was healed and not infected anymore. I finally got the OK and it was really weird to be back among other people again. Especially since no one (except one person) knows the real reason… Read more »
In the #LoveMe Challenge, I’m supposed to share a flaw. Now, I don’t think this means a negative character flaw. Although my tendency to expect the worst is probably a character flaw to some people, it also means that I’m not often surprised by life’s twists and turns. But that doesn’t really help me love myself more…And I’ve already shared… Read more »
Today’s #LoveMe Challenge is share a smile. This always makes me smile: I’m a sucker for Calvin and Hobbes. Bill Watterson is a genius as far as I’m concerned. His portrayal of Calvin as the imaginative 6 year-old and Hobbes as the rational voice of reason and co-conspirator in hijinks really was transformative in both the comic section and my… Read more »
For today’s #LoveMe Challenge, I’m supposed to share a secret. Now, for someone as emotionally closed off as me, this is one of the harder aspects of the challenge so far. I mean, I could always cop out and share a secret like “I cannot get on board with the whole kale thing”. It’s something I don’t tell people but… Read more »
The #LoveMe Challenge task for today is to share something beautiful. And that got me thinking about what I considered beautiful. Really, are people and things that are visually appealing beautiful to me? Well, of course. Humans are visual animals. So I started thinking about people who were beautiful… Let’s take my girl-crush on Angelina Jolie. I’ve always thought she… Read more »
Ironically, today’s #LoveMe Challenge is to share a scar…As readers of this blog may already know, I recently had an excision of an amelanotic nodular melanoma tumor removed from my knee. I’ve already covered the story of how it was found, how it was excised, and some of the “fun” of the recovery. Technically, I guess what I’m sharing isn’t… Read more »
Today for the #LoveMe Challenge, I’m supposed to share something that’s just for me. I’m not exactly sure what to do for this one. Just for me? Amelanotic nodular melanoma isn’t really something that just affects me, otherwise they would have named it after me 😉 and besides, hopefully, that’s not part of me anymore. I guess I’ll find out… Read more »
Today’s #LoveMe Challenge is to write a note to your future self… Dear Future Nicole – First of all, I’d like to apologize for taking for granted that you will even exist. I know I spend sometimes excessive amounts of time worrying about the future and assuming that you would be there to handle things. Well, the last month made… Read more »
