Along the gorgeous coastline of Ventura California I ponder my bike bravery for the BC Bravery Sports Report. The sound of the Pacific Ocean fuels my memories of home.

How can we find peace with our decisions? Big Xs and Os to BC Josephine for her one of a kind gift. Thanks to Mary S. and Kelly G. for their virtual coffee and to BCs for social support. BC Mary S. shares her word of the year. BC Kat from S. Jersey goes on the bravery report for her courageous decision. Quotes that Dawny lives by. Mark supports my birthday wish. New BCs Kelly G. and Miranda. Comment conversations with BC Dave, Sue from the U.K. and me about Dave’s brave authenticity in his down times. How my bike training unexpectedly lands me on the BC Bravery Sports Report.

The fantastic spa cloth BC Josephine designed and knitted by hand so my day would be filled with Xs and Os in honor of COD’s 4th anniversary.

Resource of the day

Do you sneak eat? A thought provoking post by Martha Ross on Crazy in Suburbia. It features a critique of the story, The Fat Girl, that is sad and familiar if you’ve ever been prone to eating in private. Interesting to know that this behavior is wide enough that it makes it into art.

Mark and I at Le Reve after my awesome birthday dinner Mar 8.

Just a quick post to say I’m having a great time! Today is my 55th (double nickel birthday) and I’m fine with it. I was up until 1:00, having fun and NOT overeating. A first. Got weighed here this AM, exactly what I weighed at home. I’m still down my 10 pounds. All I want for my birthday is to hear from you! Go ahead and post a birthday greeting, even if it’s years from Mar. 9, 2014. Also, I’d love to hear from you on the bravery hotline! 206-350-6445. More later.
