My daughter gave me a sticker. It’s cute and fun. So I smiled, said thanks, and put it on my travel cup.

Wait, hold my tea. I DO have a lot of feelings. In fact, I’ve had them for a long time. Probably my whole life! Humans experience 6 basic emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise. These emotions can combine to create different variations.

Hence, a lot of feelings. Life has been messy and complex these past years. Fortunately, I have found a gifted and wonderful therapist who has helped transform my relationship with the emotions in my driver’s seat – fear, anger and sadness. And I get to spend more time feeling playful, peaceful, fulfilled, excited, and accepted.

Most of time, I’m happy. (In the days ending in Y and definitely when I’m playing with puppies!)

I am inspired to face my fear of stepping back into the world of nutrition. Nutrition has been a source of fear and inadequacy since my cancer diagnosis. Who wants to hear nutrition recommendations from a cancer survivor? Obviously, I ate the wrong type of broccoli, so don’t listen to me.

Or do! I do have some thoughts about this journey. And I’d like to explore the intersection of nutrition and all the other crap that sticks to the wall. Well, not all of it is crap, just challenging.

Calm the fork down and stay tuned for my thoughts, nay feelings, regarding:

Motherhood

Perimenopause/Menopause

Anxiety

Cancer

And so much more….
