Eloquence is Overrated

June 16, 2010 eating out

My throat is better now! I can’t belt out a note yet (actually, I never could) but I can actually talk! I can’t tell you how relieved I am to be able to even say “Need to pee, NOW!” I’ve been wondering why God took my voice away, just in time for the church retreat. [...]

The Difference Between Obsession and Passion

March 22, 2010 eating disorders

Did you know I used to dream of being an artist? Of course, I also wanted to be a lawyer, a Special Education teacher, a president, a chef, and a number of other things, but I was actually quite serious about art. In fact, I had a genuine passion in art, and I don’t mean [...]
