So after my confession, too much eating, not enough moving, I am getting serious. Following my short run this morning, it was time to get the dog up and moving, too. We’re all going to move dammit! All movement, all the…
Shame has held me back for too long. Shameful memories eviscerate my heart, and the wounds heal and are rebroken in turn…
