stand up for myself
Treadmarks 3 years ago

I’ve had treadmarks on my back for as long as I can remember. It’s gotten better over time…as I get older and more settled into myself, I’m standing up for myself more and more…

It’s not enough though. I need to stand up for myself more…and to continue to find new ways to do it tactfully. Because that’s really the trick of it: standing up for yourself with grace.

That’s what I want to be when I grow up.

stop being afraid
...fear itself. 3 years ago

The author of a book I was reading said her husband once called her the bravest person he knew. She said “are you kidding? I’m afraid of everything!!” And he said “yes…but you do things anyway”

...and maybe that’s the trick. It’s not really about being able to stop being afraid (because fear is actually kind of healthy), and entirely about doing stuff anyway…about not being paralyzed by the fear…about feeling it, acknowledging it, and not letting it stop you…me…us.

Aye…there’s the rub.

Take a pilates class
Theoretically... 3 years ago

...as I understand it, most humans (myself included, since I’m feeling one with the race today) come with core muscles. These muscles theoretically exist untapped beneath the squishy parts of my midsection.

My mission: find them and make them grow…or hurt…or something.
