Hello everyone! This is a fun little blog I wrote last March. I'm working on transferring some of my faves over to the website and thought this had to be one of them :) I have included a recent photo of Lola at the end! Enjoy! Originally Published: March 19, 2018 I thought this would be a cute one for ya! We can learn so much from pets and in my case dogs. I am 100 percent certain that Lola is part of my healing journey. She doesn’t always make things easy…but that’s part of the beauty of it all Life lessons and advice from Lola (my dog) Eyes are your best feature Eyes are the win ..read more

This was originally written by myself last year March 13, 2018 ...but I thought it might resonate with some of you today. Every now and then, in our path of healing we feel stuck...and it's OK. As long as you step outside of yourself, acknowledge that's how we feel...and move along. Do you ever go through periods of time; minutes, days, weeks..maybe even months,where you feel like you are just floating through life? Just existing?Where you know you could do better, be a better wife, sister, daughter, friend, mother, furmom….? How about eat better, dress better, heck shower daily!?  Do ..read more

I thought about this title for awhile because…well...not everyone reading this will be in their 30’s but I am and so I have to base it on how I see the world and feel things. However it could certainly apply to any woman.  Do you know how many times I feel like I owe an explanation to people in my world for things I do, say, think or feel? How crazy is that? I feed off others so much and let it affect my thoughts, emotions which in turn affects me physically. I have wasted so much of my time offering up apologies and explanations for things that I should never have had to 10 things a ..read more

Good evening friends and happy Sunday. Well things are all a go around the Dietrich home lately. We have been busy bees getting our Christmas decor out and attending family gatherings galore. I love the Christmas season. It's the one thing that has remained a constant source of happiness for me even while growing up. No matter what shit we were going through everyone stopped being dickheads around the holidays. lol. I used to get all worked up because of all of the FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. I guess some of the anxiety is still there ....it always will be. I'm learning how to breathe that back out in ..read more

Time for another update! I know many ppl don't like comparison pics but it helps me keep accountable. No diet, No pills, no potions, no magic coffee (I've left all the magical coffee groups I've been added too ✌️?) just eating less and walking more. Trying new things, new recipes. Lots of water and herbal tea. More veggies and healthy fats. I fit treats in here and there. I do what intuitively feels good for me and my body. The inflammation in my face and gut is coming down. I'm feeling better and have more energy. That's what counts at the end of the day. NO going back. It's taken years to ge ..read more

I thought I would write about something a little different today perhaps something uplifting and somewhat romantic. I see daily on my facebook feed, women (and men) frustrated with dating and finding “the one”. Extremely bitter and negative people giving up on their love life (and I get it…ive been there!)  Finding and marrying the love of my life definitely forced me to step outside of my comfort zone. It wasn’t an easy road as the world of dating can sometimes be like a roller coaster of highs and lows. I had to go through 4-5 very hard (and immature) relationships to be able to be bl ..read more
