Happy 35th Anniversary, Deb!
Wow. Hard to believe that we got married thirty-five years ago. Pledging to spend our lives together in front of family and friends. How fast the time flies. I still remember the first time I saw you. It was at Swenson’s for a meet and greet of the cast and crew for Nails. I knew…
Wedding Toast for Caileigh and Chris
When my daughter asked me to give a speech for her wedding, I was thrilled! I had visions of creating a TED talk about love and marriage. It would be funny and insightful. Sheer brilliance. I mean, after thirty-five years of matrimony, I should know a thing or two on the subject. Right? Caileigh and…
July 2023 Mile Marker
July weight loss went in the right direction. But not very far. My average weight was 203.9lbs for July. Down from the previous month, but only by 0.2lbs. Highest weight was 207.6lbs and lowest was 200.6lbs. The month was off to a good start because I was cutting out TV during the week. It’s a…
June 2023 Mile Marker
I decided to skip the April 2023 and May 2023 Mile Markers because they canceled each other out. My weight loss for April was 0.4lbs. And then I gained it back by the end of May. So, a net gain of zero from where I was at the end of March. For both of those…
Artistic Rehab Check-in #7
This week’s work is on recovering a sense of connection. It’s not only our connection to those around us and the environment. It’s our connection to everything. Cameron tells us that our Morning Pages and Artist Dates are teaching us to listen. The Morning Pages encourage us to listen past our internal censor. It’s a…
Jitters
Tonight is the night. It’s the big show for our choir (Vocal Point). We’ve been working towards this night since mid-January. And I’m nervous as heck! Why? I don’t know. I don’t normally get nervous before a play. Usually, I’ve worked on my lines and know them. The play has been rehearsed many times. But…
Artistic Rehab Check-in #6
This week focuses on cultivating your feelings of abundance. You don’t have to be rich or in the black to be able to feel wealthy. Sometimes it’s about having an occasional treat that makes you feel well off. What does luxury mean to you? For some people, it’s buying a horse. For others, it’s getting…
March 2023 Mile Marker
March was a better month than February. The weight pendulum has started swinging the other way. And I think it was just reminding myself not to snack after 9pm that had the biggest impact this month. Let’s be clear: It didn’t always stop me from snacking. But I managed to reduce the snacking. My average…
Harvey’s Here!
Well, it’s Opening Night. In a few hours, I’ll walk on stage in front of an audience. It will suddenly be real. All the weeks of preparation have passed by. Now it’s time to jump out of the proverbial airplane and hope that I’m ready. I’m ready. Of course, this is the time to think…
