I’ve been struggling with the EDJ and trying to get my life in order. So on top of losing weight by being part of Weight Watchers, what do I do? I sign up to get my college degree. Part of it is because I need the motivation. I need the push to better myself and it’s something I’ve been lacking when it comes to my writing. I need a push from the outside to get my writing up to where I want it to be. Scary but true. On the other side of the coin, I’ve lost over 28 lbs since my hysterectomy and I’m feeling great.

So, I’m trying to go the distance. I’m trying to put my life in order- working my day job to go to college. Learning to get into a writing habit to make my writing better. And learning what it’s going to take to be the best me I can be. Scary but true.

As I sit here the day before Litha, I am contemplating the recipes that I’ll be making.  Some of them I’ll be doing as is, others I’ll be lightening up to fit into my new eating plan. What’s interesting to me is how I view Litha- a time to celebrate the light half of the year. It’s the summer solstice, the longest day of the year- where night is short. For me, it’s a celebration of astronomical significance and also a time to bring in the first harvests from springtime. Though I’ve had some harvests, these are my major things- potatoes, corn, peppers, etc. Luckily where I live has a year round growing time, but still I treasure this cycle when and where I can. More »
