I've had a nice, relaxing and yet productive day so far ,,, made some really good progress with my clothes in the garage that need to be sold. That alone feels like a giant weight off. And yet ...
I came in to pay some bills and check out my account online, and found that I have very little money in my checking account until a transfer comes through that I made last night. And instantly, I'm looking at what's available on my credit cards so I can go buy something, or order something online. To make me feel better, I'm willing to spend even more money on things I don't need, or even want. Why do I do that??
It was the same with drinking, and is the same today with eating. Anytime I get uncomfortable, or feel judgemental about myself, my choices and decisions, I want to do something destructive, telling myself ,,,, well I don't know what I'm telling myself. Or maybe I shut my inner voice down, I just eat/drink/shop to drown it out, make it shut up.
My journey into a healthier and more passion-filled life after cancer, menopause & alcoholism.
Metamorphosis
Welcome!
I started this blog in 2010 as I began the process of figuring out how to have a more passion-filled life, leaving my corporate job in search of something more fulfilling. It felt like a giant push on my life's restart button and I wanted to share my journey. The road on that journey has taken a few unforeseen twists and turns, first colon cancer then recovering from alcoholism. The journey continues, I hope you'll join me from time to time as I share my travels to that passion-filled life that still calls to me.
