Alright everyone...I need your help! Friday, July 12, from 8-9:30am, I am going to have some fun on the radio! I was chosen by 104.9 the Surf's Jeff T-Bone Taylor's to be the super-fan guest DJ 🎤📀🎶. 104.9 The Surf

I need to pick 3 of my favorite songs to play. ???? Only 3? How the heck can you do that? 🎵

👉Anyway, if. you have a song that reminds you of our friendship, our time together, our aerobic classes, our time at the dorm, or out dancing...I would ❤️ love to know what your 1970-1980's favorite songs are. The ones that bring back great memories for you. 🥰

🎶 Music can change your emotional state in a minute. Help me choose what to play! (and then maybe even listen on the 12, online to hear what I choose!)

Can't wait to hear what some of your favorite songs are...

Just in case you have a pre-teen in your home...and just in case you have had any experience with or or just in case you are a teacher of that age group...

Please check out this book...it is time to stop the generational cycle of passing down diet culture...

I love this time of year, NCAA Softball Softball World Series ...Celebrating as well. All size bodies...doing their thing. (DM me or Comment below for a special price on the Body Neutrality starter kit!)

You might wonder why I take time out of my business schedule to watch. Not only am I BIG FAN, but
it showcases so many aspects of Body Neutrality and being a Body Joyful Woman.

~Women supporting and encouraging each other rather than judging and comparing
~Women playing and competing at the highest level under great stress and succeeding (the players demonstrate grace and great sports woman-ship regardless of winning or losing)
~Women overcoming adversity and preserving (games are won in the final at bat!)
~Women being tenacious, determined, committed and being great teammates
~Women experiencing joy and fun (see what happens in the dugout and the smiles and laughter)

My softball days started when I was 8 years old...ended my senior year of high school. Obviously had a 4 year hiatus while I was battling

I was better on the field than at bat...but here is a rare picture of me laying down a bunt in 1979...

Comparing yourself to another, is thinking that your own assumptions of that person are true, and unfortunately all you see is the outside…and the moments in time you see the outside. We never can assume we know what is happening with anyone else. I hope you can pause to remember that when you think someone else has it all figured out.

Happy Mother's Day...to all who play the role of Mom, in one way or another. The generations roll on...

4 years today...I miss you more every passing year. Thank you for the life you shared with our family. I am forever blessed by your love, laugher, wisdom, strength and incredible resilience. I love you mom.

Weeks, days and hours click by at a rapid rate on the expiration date of my life. And the question hovers over me… how do you want to spend your last clicks? My 96 year old dad k owes all too well there are fewer clicks. fly by. How are you planning to spend your remaining clicks? There could be less than 10 or thousands. My thoughts this morning are including: meaning…kindness…joy…laughter…awe and legacy. What about you?

We have the ability to turn the page of the book of our lives everyday. It is not easy...it takes the willingness to question beliefs and identities that we have lived with much of our lives. Yet, if you choose to do that...there is peace and freedom on the other side.

After a facetime visit with Alyssa in Okinowa at 6am and a full work day...I am engaging in the London Writers' Salon 24 hour writing sprint for a couple hours to make progress on my body neutrality handbook...durning this hour, I identified just a 'few' celebs who had struggled with and eating disorder... Paula Abdul Karen Carpenter Eltonjohn and JaneFonda to name just a few!!!!

Eating disorders effect over 28 million people...and eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Scrivener

What are you doing this weekend? As for me...I am diving into the free 24 hour writing sprint hosted by London Writers' Salon. I will be diving into the much needed and procrastinated Body Neutrality Handbook! .

This will be full of ways to shift your perspective about yourself (key to changing your behavior!) and lots of tools to try. My hope is that there will be one or more tools or strategies that can help others feel differently about themselves.

Because as soon as they do? So many other things change.
Relationships, self esteem, actions, behaviors, energy, mood, work, and more.

Who would you be, if you saw yourself as confident and comfortable in your body? How would you show up to the ones you love???

Interested in journaling? healing? writing your story? JOIN ME. Sometimes we all need a little encouragement...support and a PUSH. I have been procrastinating this project, and know I need to spend some real time in it, and so when this showed up for me, it was the perfect sign. Get it done, put in the time, make a difference and be connected to a fabulous group of writers.

Every once in a while you push the photo button at just the right time. Happy Easter to you all. Every day I pause to be grateful for everything…the bad decisions I’ve made, because I have learned from them, the sadness I’ve experienced, the joy, grief, humiliation, frustration, anxiety, happiness, fear and acceptance. May you pause today and take a moment to reflect on the things you have and experience in your life that you may have forgotten.

As we immerse ourselves in NUTRITION month...think about getting more in touch with your own physical bodies hunger and fullness cues. Our relationship with food was simple once, and can be again...through the practice of Intuitive eating. Keep your eyes open for an Intuitive Eating Workshop coming soon.

As many of you know, embracing the concept of helped my healing journey more than almost anything else (that and rejecting ).

Realizing that I did not have to love or even like my body all the time. That I could respect and appreciate all it could do, helped change my mindset.

With this mindset shift, I changed my thoughts, feelings and choices. Changing everything. Check out the blogs on body neutrality at thebodyjoyful.com

DAY @ of Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) today's resource: My eating disorder taught me so much (about living) from Anne Poirier CSCS
https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/my-eating.../

This information & content contains conversations about eating disorders, internal shame regarding body size, and body image.....

INTRODUCTION to article: May, 2009. “I am worried about you…you are disappearing before my eyes, and I am losing my friend Anne. I can’t see her anymore; and I am sad. I really want her back. I love you and I am here, caring about you”…Love P

I had no idea what this note was all about. I was blind to the obsessive thoughts and feelings. Food and exercise were all that mattered. From the moment I woke up in the morning to the time my head hit the pillow. Counting and calculating, such a familiar way of thinking.

So familiar in fact, that the first time I fell into that trap was back in 1974, when I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. I assumed I was recovered, until I realized I was not, and for the next 26 years my body was the enemy. Food was my obsession, and exercise was my punishment.

. So happy to have a visit from my good friend this weekend. for the memories, laughter and conversations ❤️❤️❤️this feels like a breath of fresh air 😊

I had a picture of the cream of mushroom soup I made this morning, but it certainly was NOT as beautiful as this!!! So I digress. A morning full of self care…80’s morning walk, cooking:cream of mushroom soup, sautés mushrooms, sausage, hard boiled eggs, prepping fruits and veggies, cleaning and zooming family. Self-care is not about massages and manicures (although it can be) it is more about taking care of what your emotional and physical body need. I know I need fresh air, moving my body and nourishing foods.

Self-care library time turned into new book. Thanks brain, bring it on, I am ready…
