You know, I am a very active person. I work out almost every morning at 5:30am, sometimes I double dip and do another round in the evening. In addition, the amount of coffee I consume (Death Wish in particular) on a daily basis should have my metabolism revving like an Italian Formula One race car. Yet, I struggle. I returned to Weight Watchers in January after a long absence and focused on the fact that I needed to move that…
How do you self soothe? Family, children, finances, health issues, we all have them. I am neither pounding my chest, or feeling 'special' in this regard. It just is what it is. Like many people, I struggle now and then. I am a talker. Talking is something that helps whether I am riding alone in the car or walking Izzy. I think walking the dog is the most cathartic.

The timing was very good as Chip and I are about to embark on gutting this kitchen and giving her an overhaul. We joke about our home not being our final resting place. Our goal is to retire on a lake somewhere with a long, lazy dock and cup…
