I like this selfie taken from above. I’m sitting on my podcast rock in the local park and it is HOT and HUMID and flies are buzzing me!

Podcast Recap

I surprisingly recognize how I’ve been holding on to an impossible dream version of myself and how I need to let that go to appreciate the Laurie in the here and now. Shout-outs to Sue and Sandy for supporting Crystal on her brave post on the ‘Who are the Brave Companions page’, thank you to Amazon shoppers in the UK and US. I mention another way to support the podcast financially. Welcome to new listeners Dawny from Spokane and Garden Girl KP who found us via Alen’s interview. More reactions from brave companions about the interview and I list why I’m grateful it happened. Alen asks the brave companions for input on our next interview. I get the comments and thoughts from brave companions, old and new, that I asked for about my scale struggle. I ponder the benefits of intuitive exercise.
Laurie takes a photo of herself wearing shorts in the mirror.

I’m either out of my mind or in a VERY brave mood today. Here’s photo proof that I actually wore baggy shorts in public to the park. Wanting to feel comfortable in the weather beat fear of exposing my lumpy legs.
