Podcast Recap

Despite strong winds keeping me off of the mountain, I celebrate 6 years of Compulsive Overeating Diary. Mark and I have a great time with Magician, Bryan Saint at the Magic Castle. I ponder why disappointment doesn’t sting as much as it used to. BC Mary calls the Bravery Hotline to update us about her journey and shares a great resource. New BC Yulia from Russia writes in now that she’s caught up with all of the episodes. BCs Joy and Carrie comment on Day 181. BCs Fionna and Svetlana are having fun with Color Street nails. Even though I feel like a beauty klutz, I try them and Mark reacts. Today’s dance moment is called Figure it Out and it’s a fun and quirky ditty I chose because it put a BIG smile on my face.

I take a photo to prove, even I, beauty klutz Laurie, can get my Color Street dry nail polish nails on!

I’m almost up to the next to top Zen place and I smile to see such a snowy day in Southern California.

Podcast Recap

I brave unusual snowcapped peaks and winter weather to ponder past blessings and challenges as we look toward our future in 2020. I share my professional video game demo. BC Joy has a great idea! How to join our new secret and private FB group. We meet our newest BC, Geert, who posted on the infamous Pathetic Day 4. A special message to a new private BC. I recommend a course on Insight Timer by Andrea Wachter. Mark shares what he’s learned this past decade and what he’s looking forward to in 2020. Today’s dance moment features a relaxing and beautiful tune called Falling Snow.

Snow is seen on the mountain top where I hike from the street intersection down below

I was amazed to see all of this snow while I drove up to the trailhead to hike.

I was tickled to discover someone had left a shiny red ornament on one of the fir trees along the mountain trail Happy Holidays indeed!
