I don’t know where to begin…or end. The end of the second week of Insanity was not as grand as the beginning. I was hating it. So I took 2 days off instead of 1. I know, I’m wild. and a little crazy. But, that helped a little, so I’m back into it…1/2 way through [...]

Offer Up Everything
If you are coming here to get a consistent stream of thought on one topic, you will be sadly disappointed. Sometimes it’s sadly disjointed. I jump from food and fitness to bible stuff and a-day-in-the-life-of Cari photo commentaries on a daily basis. Who can keep up?! It’s my life and I barely keep up [...]

Emotions-Can You Fake ‘em?
“Use the corresponding face for the corresponding emotion.” Meg Ryan in that movie where she goes to Paris to chase after her ex-fiancé. I’m one of those people who you can read like a book. If I’m happy, you’ll know it. If I’m confused, it’s written all over my face. If I’m mad, oh yeah, [...]

Sweet bondage
I was re reading some of my earlier posts about being “free” from the need for sweets and junk food. Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago. I regret to inform the concerned public, that I’m back in bondage. sort of. I decided to take advantage of Lent season and “give up” something. [...]

Fasting vs. Dieting
In all fairness, all this healthy food talk is coming to me during a biblical fast. Specifically, a Daniel Fast. In my words, fasting is denying yourself physical food for a spiritual purpose. I’m denying myself sugar, meat, dairy, breads, and coffee for the purpose of gaining increased intimacy with God, as well as other [...]

Can someone ever really change? Like change permanently? I was laying in bed trying to sleep (on my back) and I started wondering about change. You see, I was a Stomach Sleeper and a few years ago I realized that sleeping on my stomach was BAD. Someone told me. It gives you wrinkles on [...]

2010 recap (finally)
This is for me really. It’s my way of keeping track of what, if anything, I accomplished this year. This year started with a 21 day fast , go here for a summary of how that went. Turns out that was a really good way to start a year out. No doubt, I’ll be doing [...]

Here we go again in 2010
I listened to this message from Andy Stanley. He said things like “Awareness drives discontentment”. “Life is expensive, death is cheap.” and “If you live with the assumption that all of the extra you have is for your consumption, then you are greedy and miss the point.” This is why I’m conflicted. I can’t find [...]

Advent. The Advent Season. The Season of Advent.
Advent. What is it? Every time I hear that word I have to think about what it means exactly…something about expecting…anticipating. ? Preparing? Something about Christmas and the days leading up to it. There are calendars and wreaths you can buy or make. This year I’m reading the Rediscovering Christmas reading plan on YouVersion (actually [...]

Hey, What’s News?
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know a ton about what’s going on in the world today. I do NOT watch the news. or the president. or any news related shows. I read the newspaper on a rare occasion, and then I usually regret that I did. Most of my news [...]
