Follow Me!

Follow Me!

Why follow me?

I am worth following. I can energize you, motivate you, make you cry, make you laugh, make you question what you are doing--right or wrong.
I can inspire you.

I am a nut. I once had a blog (not publicized) called The Compos Mentis Cuckoo. Now if you look up the meaning of all the words, you will find that it doesn't make sense. No, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I make you scratch your head. I mean how can someone be together in their mind
and yet cuckoo?
Oh yeah, you've experienced it. You know what I mean.

I'm 56. In my life, I have been through A LOT. I've gone through things no one would want to experience. I may share here, I may not. 
I will share this. I want YOU to be a better you. And however I can help you do that, I will.

I'm no shrink. I'm not an M.D. I'm human and I have feelings, compassion, and I can empathize with most of what someone is feeling.
I know about raising kids and the love and frustration that come with it.
I know about marriage (and divorce) and the love, frustration, heart ache and loneliness one can experience before, during and after both of them.
I know about personal crisis and the pain of dealing with it.
I know about being fat and feeling lost and unattractive.
I know about food addiction.
I know about weight loss and dealing with the frustration and 
happiness through it all, the ups and downs, creating recipes, keeping secrets, telling the truth, being a failure, being a success, and all that dropping 75 lbs entails. I'm still losing
and then plan on maintaining that weight for the rest of my life.
I know about crying in the shower so no one will see. I 
understand feeling pain so deep that tears may come at any
time, unprovoked.
I also know feeling joy so immense you feel you are so full of it, you will bust.
I know and understand difficult relationships with parents, despite the fact I love them.
I know about sex and I'm still learning about it too.
I know and understand love. The loving someone so passionately and deeply that you literally want to crawl inside of them to be as close as possible.
I also know betrayal, heart break, lusting, online communication with a complete stranger, behaving like a good girl and also
about being naughty.
I know loving dogs (not men-- real puppies and dogs) and
also the fierce wanting to choke them for peeing on the carpet AGAIN after I have literally shampooed it TWICE in the last 6 hrs because they refuse to go outside.

See?
I think I can help you.
Maybe you can offer me some insight into what I don't know yet...........
