My Lessons
I love life and love learning lessons — those “getting it” moments when a light bulb goes off and suddenly everything makes sense. It might be a new way to motivate myself to work out or it might be a new gadget I can’t live without. I figure that if those lessons help me, they could help other people too. I like being the girl people can trust to give them a straight, no-BS answer. Yes, you should buy a Magic Bullet. No, you should not gobble diet pills in an effort to get a boyfriend. You should totally fly across the country when you think you’re in love with a guy you’ve never actually met in person. Stuff like that. Those lessons are what I love sharing and what I share here.
