I’m smiling despite being eaten alive by flies! But it was fun trying out a new podcast rock and seeing a new view.

Podcast Recap

I let go of being controlled by results after discovering a new podcast rock and battling flies. An update on how I’m doing letting go of eating before eating from last show. The show’s monthly iTunes worldwide review report. A special thank you to an Amazon shopper from the US. Shows from my old podcast, Daily Adventure Tales, are recommended. Welcome to new BC Karen. Guy BCs are encouraged to participate. Comment reactions from last show by Dawny, Dave and eM. What do you do when starting or restarting a fitness program? I read BC eM’s poem, Whole Being Eating, for Laurie’s Stories. My painful, yet wonderfully lesson filled blog post called The Three Cs of My Identity Crisis followed up by mindful and thoughtful comments by Fionna, Amy from Wisconsin and Sue from the UK.

I feel surprisingly cheerful hiking in my rainbow jacket in the windy weather.

Podcast Recap

Frustration is my target today. It’s windy, it’s crowded, and I have to park my good car in the rugged mountain hiking lot! Thank you to BC Dave for his 5-star review on USA iTunes and to tech guy Mikey, from Jetpack, who helped me solve the technical snafus I shared last time. We celebrate the Bravery of new BC, Shannon, who posts her story and asks for our thoughts on the ‘Want Advice?’ page. Dawny steps in to welcome Shannon as well as to give us a funny joke for Foolish Fun. We hear what’s up with Amy from WI, Sue from the UK, Jill from the UK and Stéfanie from Quebec. BC Dave sends his list for things he does that add value to his life and his request for your list. Stéfanie sends her latest Secret Topic of the Day. Why do we do things we know aren’t in our best interests? I sneak in some singing bravery of my own.

Here’s the view from my convertible, Red Baby, in the crowded hiking area car park.

Home made sound booth solution with blankets and foam draped everywhere!

Here’s why my list of items to work on to make my life better includes researching a more permanent home sound booth setup. My current procedure of dragging out quilts and foam rubber and draping them over laundry racks every time I need to record inside is getting a bit old.

Me being arty with my shots again. Glad I didn’t have to photoshop anything out of my nose! It’s a cloudy day, but not too windy on the way up the mountain.

Podcast Recap

I recover my Zen on the mountain. Waiting is on my mind. We welcome our newest BC, Jill from the UK. Featured comments to her from moi, Dawny and Sue from the UK. Dawny Jumps right into our new Tricks and Tips feature with a great tip for those who enjoy their mocha java. Carol from Detroit sends in her kiwi tip via email. Mark’s touching comment for BC Dave, who shared his truth via the bravery hotline last show. Some great bike jokes sent in by Dave for today’s Foolish Fun. The story of my ironic descent from Zen and how I got it back – including me reading one of my errant blog posts.

Grey puffy clouds over the foothills in the distance.

Here’s the cloudy view from halfway up the trail. Pretty cool.

Stack of white rocks along the hiking trail.

Here I discover someone’s prayer rocks along the trail. I stop to send them positive thoughts and move on encouraged.

At the next to upper Zen place on New Year’s Eve Eve, I tried to replicate my selfie logo shot since I was wearing the same scarf, but couldn’t quite get it. Guess that was a one time happy accident.

Podcast Recap

From the mountain top on New Year’s Eve Eve I ponder the difference between disappointment and devastation. Stats about the blog. Who were the top 5 posters? Which episodes or posts were the most viewed? How many sold out shows of the Sydney Opera house would be equivalent to the total views of CompulsiveOvereatingDiary.com in 2014? Sue from the U.K. goes on the bravery report by telling us in her own voice about a special Christmas service she attended. BC Fionna’s latest entry about the coming year on her own blog, Fionna Sings, is featured. More about where you can post on CompulsiveOvereatingDiary.com. My watershed moments with self awareness, fun and feeling unexpectedly fat during Mark and my holiday in the Danish town of Solvang in California wine country. Supportive comments by Fionna, Dawny and Cheryl. A surprising comment from my therapist.

Cloudy grey skies above the mountain side. A lone tree in foreground.

The clouds rolled in as the temperature dropped.

A web of bare branches against a grey sky

I thought these rare bare branches in Southern California made an interesting photo.
