Baby Steps
Monday, July 18, 2016 3 comments Well, it's Monday after a long weekend for me. I took Friday off to get my learner's permit renewed. That went very well and took less than an hour. It was quite a relief since I had been extremely anxious about it. This weekend culminated ... Read more

Onward and Forward
Wednesday, June 08, 2016 3 comments Since last week I've tried to practice being mindful in all I do. I've noticed that I have a deficiency in the area of critical thinking so I don't process a lot of things in my mind in order to make decisions. This is something I need to work o... Read more
3rd Sparkversary
Sunday, May 22, 2016 4 comments When I first joined Spark three years ago I was very cocky. I read the success stories and made friends, and some of them had lost lots of weight. Having over 70 lbs to lose myself, I thought I could do it as well, in one year. I set my Spark go... Read more
It Can't Hurt...

It's A Done Deal

It's My 1 Year Sparkversary!
Wednesday, May 21, 2014 9 comments Exactly one year ago I joined Spark. I didn't know what to expect. The only saving grace was that it is free. If I could handle the ads I'd be fine... Well, a year later I have made tremendous friends and formed bonds that keep me coming ba... Read more
