Happy Valentine’s Day! I love my bouquet from Mark. He said none of the arrangements at the store were what he thought I would like, so he bought individual flowers that he knew I’d love and arranged them himself. Love that! Making effort shows you care, so I decided to show how much I care for you BCs by making a Valentine’s Day show. xoxoxoxox

Podcast Recap

Happy Valentine’s Day! This bonus show is my valentine to the BCs who have listened, learned, loved and supported me and one another throughout the run of Compulsive Overeating Diary. I’ll ponder letting go of my old self image and read you my latest blog post about acting bravery. You’ll hear about my newest show, Stories and Voice, and how you can be brave and participate too! Our newest brave BC Heba, calls via Speakpipe to ask for support and I’ll share some of the resources I sent her. I find a poem by Thomas Hardy called ‘An Experience’ that really speaks to me for today’s edition of Laurie’s Stories. And we’ll finish up our Valentine treat with another song by Josh Woodward that speaks to my creative wish for all of our hearts, called ‘The Dreamers’.

Mentioned

My new show, Stories and Voice. Be brave and submit some writing, songs or try your hand at voice acting! All are welcome from seasoned pro to newbie with a dream who is willing to work their piece.

The Dreamers

by Josh Woodward

Lyrics

Here’s one for dreamers, who took that step
Here’s one for every time they jumped without a net

Here’s one for misfits, who broke the rules
Who feared the boredom more than scorn or ridicule

You’re scared to fly, in the endless sky
When the voices say that there’s no way you’ll ever make the grade

Let’s say you try, and you fall from high
When the sun has set, will you regret the fall?
Or the times you did nothing at all?

Here’s one for magic, that lives within
For seeing beauty in the commonest of things

Here’s one for passion, without restraint
To those who stumble to the ground and feel no shame

[Chorus]

Failure’s always is an option
But doubt’s the fatal toxin
That leaves your dreams to wither on the vine

Why is your brain refusing?
What are you scared of losing?
If you don’t try, you’ll fail every time

    Hey-ya. Just found your podcast!! I’ve started from the beginning and am listening in order. I’m waiting to hear if I’m going to be able to go to a residential treatment program for EDs and listening and identifying with your story is really helping me not feel alone right now. Thank you.

      Hi Jen, I’m so happy you found the podcast and that it’s helping to show you how many of us there are who understand at least some of what you are going through. Fingers crossed that you will get into your treatment program. Please feel free to write and let us know how you are, or to post on the show pages as you go through the episodes if you have comments or questions. Even though I closed the regular show at episode 120, I’m still around and so are some of the BCs who you will discover as you go further in the show. I do care, and I thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts and encouragement to me.

      We all have our own ‘journey’ and have to find our own ‘way’ of getting thru it. SO awesome of you seeking treatment, I’ll think positive thoughts and hope the best for you on getting into the facility.. That’s a huge step in self-care!
