Something that feeds my brain is the topic of today’s #LoveMe Challenge post. My brain is something that has gotten me into, and out of, trouble all my life. When I was young and precocious, I made a lot of enemies for wanting to be the “smartest person in the room”. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve mellowed a bit; but… Read more »
For today’s #LoveMe Challenge, I am sharing something that feeds my soul. I thought a lot about this topic. The usual suspects like love and health have been a bit scarce lately. And my soul is pretty agnostic these days so the concept of organized religion doesn’t really nourish me. In fact, I usually get sad when I see what… Read more »
The #LoveMe Challenge for today is to share something about me that I love. I will for sure tell you it will not be my stomach or my predilection for diet soda. (I think the two are related.) Physically, I used to really like my legs. They were always a bit muscular as I was growing up and they were… Read more »
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 »
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 »
Since I had been diagnosed with amelanotic nodular melanoma in early December 2014, I’ve actually been pretty cautious about who I tell. Blog nonwithstanding, I haven’t gone public on social media asking for prayers and positive thoughts. Part of me loathes those messages because unless you are actually a close friend, you’ll half-heartedly post “Praying for you” and then go… Read more »
