Hallelujah! I enjoyed this accidental ‘artistic’ selfie of my topnot bathed in sun in the oak forest.

Podcast Recap

Feeling blue, whiney and in need of chips, I head to my favorite spot at Descanso and ask my listeners for help and encouragement. Shout-outs to Heidi from Canada for her tweets and to composer, Josh Woodward for being so gracious and generous with his music. Finally someone calls the Daily Adventure Tales hotline, but will it be enough to start up that podcast again?

Yep, there’s a duckie in my selfie!

Podcast Recap

Inspired by a comment posted by Crystal, I brave the rainy weather to play with ducks and muse about ‘what’s under emotional eating?’. I give some tricks to help when confronted by unexpected food and I celebrate bravery with
shout-outs to my niece, Katie, a brave international adventurer on her birthday, Cheryl for her blog bravery and a double brava for Crystal, who posted her success on bravery day!

I look skyward and wonder if I can beat the storm. Yep, I’m going for it!

Podcast Recap

When faced by food temptation do you go right away to plan Binge? Bitch? or Plan “Be”? I hike in front of gathering storm clouds and muse about this new idea. It came to me from a comment typo I made on my friend’s blog, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. It’s also bravery day! I ask all of you to give me a call or a comment and bravely share a bit of your lives. Shout-out to Jodi and Crystal, who have shared a bit already. Thanks for encouraging me! I include all of my main theme, I’m Letting Go, by Josh Woodward from The Simple Life Part 1 at the end of this episode as a bonus.

Podcast Recap

I struggle up the mountain to my upper Zen place to emotionally pull the plug on my other podcast, Daily Adventure Tales, deal with the internal fall-out, and muse about expectations, disappointments and dealing with the compulsion to cover them with food. Also, I give a shout-out to the supporters of Compulsive Overeating Diary and remember painful times from my past.
