So Hard To Be True To Yourself
July 6, 2008
This is a guest post by my sister. Sonja writes about the conflict between who we really are, who we think we are, and who we want to be. She is 45 years old now and feels it’s time to finally get it resolved.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE
October 12, 2007
Chocolate is not really a food for me. It’s a drug experience. It’s a chemical holiday. Thai food falls into the same category. When I eat it, I feel as though I’ve gone to another place. Nothing else in the food realm has this effect on me
