I reflect back on the path this Thanksgiving – pretty good metaphor, eh?

I’m Thankful for…

  • My hubby Mark. Sometimes I think we COULD NOT be more opposite in temperament, timing, wishes, life goals. But somehow we’ve made it work for more than 20 years together. I love you, Honey. Sometimes what you think you want isn’t what you actually need, and I guess we’ve proven that. xoxoxox

    Here’s a link to a short video of Mark riding to the sunset

  • My Cuddly co-editor and sweety cat-boy, Tiger. He came into our lives by accident, and now I can’t imagine a life without him. Sometimes good things happen when you least expect them. xoxoxoxox

    I’m so grateful that the culprit, Tiger the Cat came home. I was so scared I’d lost him, that I didn’t even have the heart to boot him off the table.

  • My gentle and sweet Gracie. She had such a hard time accepting love, but she did it. Sometimes we need to be patient with ourselves and others to let love into our lives. xoxoxoxox

    The beautiful, gentle Gracie, Tiger’s mama. She proves that life can get better if you are patient and persistent.

  • You, my Brave Companion. Without all of your thoughts, calls, fun, heartbreak, food for thought, robot aliens, laughter and all that we’ve shared in the 42 weeks, 3 Days since I began this experiment…I don’t think I could say today, I don’t even want to head for the chips. Sometimes you need authentic friends in your life to help you accept yourself and grow toward your dreams. Thank you. xoxoxox

I took ‘Roland’ with me on my beach bike path ride. Here I am getting ready to record Day 89 from a beach podcast rock in Ventura, CA.

Podcast Recap

The waves crash as I podcast from the coast of Ventura, CA. How does our past impact us and how can we let that go? The body of the here and now is a wonderful and marvelous thing! Please call or send audio of what you are Thankful for in time for the holiday show. Thanks to María for her 5-star iTunes review in her country. I update my progress with legalizing the chips. What reasons might keep you from looking at deep emotional eating issues? Supportive comments about my chip legalizing from María, who’s earned a spot on the bravery report for posting her first public comment, and Fionna, who also writes a touching post about Intuitive Eating on her own blog, Fionna Sings. Cheryl’s comment is linked to from today’s show notes. Leora Fulvio, a well known eating disorders therapist, stops by to post a thank you. BC Rachel gets some input on her questions about procrastination and time changes that she posted on day 64 from Stéfanie from Quebec and Sue from the UK. Also featured is Rachel’s reaction to my request to refrain from giving me unasked for advice on Day 71 and my thoughts on what she brings up. I share about my latest blog post about how inspired I was by the latest musical Mark and I saw, Kinky Boots. I also thank the BCs who supported me on this emotional blog post, Diane the champion, Dawny, and Cheryl, along with Stéfanie from Quebec, whose comment I share because it sums up the various thoughts so well.
