December 16, 2000 - Happy holidays, everyone!  I hope the season is going well for you so far.  I just finished finals, and I'm WAY too happy about it!  I actually made it through the semester, which I found rather impressive.  ;-)

For updates this time, I've updated the love page (as usual).  I also developed a list of holiday survival tips.  I know the holidays can be a rough time, and the last thing anyone needs is more reasons to stress!  So check them out, and let me know if you have any to add.

Please take special care of yourselves.  More coming soon!

September 14, 2000 - It's been forever since I updated!  Unfortunately, there's not too much new stuff, either.  New "love your body" reasons, as well as my letter for prevention posted in my corner.  

I've been busy with starting class and a new job, and have basically just been trying to hang in there.  I've been better...but then, I've been much, much worse, too!

Keep me posted on what you'd like to see here.  I'm more than open to suggestions, quotes, ideas, exercises, or even just the random gripe.  :-)  Take care, everyone!

June 26, 2000 - Hmmm, what's new, what's new...

First of all, we've been accepted to the Phenomenal Women of the Web, which is a real honor!  Check out the webring, as well as some other new rings we've joined, on the webrings page.

I also added a reading list, at the request of one of our visitors.  And of course, more reasons to love your body!!  Keep them coming, everyone - it's so encouraging to read everyone's submissions.  Believe it or not, a bunch of work has gone on with the site.  Most of it has just been behind the scenes, trying to clean things up and work out some kinks.

You might have noticed that, throughout the site, I refer to it as "our site" and "us."  No, I don't have a little bunch of benevolent gnomes helping me run the site, nor am I speaking in the royal we!  Rather, I consider this site to be a work in progress, composed of my efforts as well as those of anyone who visits.  This site wouldn't be possible without your input.

If you'd like me to email you when I update the site (usually once a month), drop me an email and I'll be in touch!

May 29, 2000 - I'm thinking of trying to redesign the site.  What do y'all think?  Email me and let me know!

As far as this set of updates, there's a few.  I've added a poll, which I'll try to change every month, if not more often.  I've added two new poems and some more of my story.  There are also new reasons to love your body!!

May 9, 2000 -  Well, most importantly, I've changed the site name!  No specific reason; I just like it better.  :-)  I've also added the quote of the day.  You can add your own quotes, too!  And, we have lots more reasons to love your body!  Follow the links through the "Things to Try" section.  I put up my letter for prevention as well.  Check it out in My Corner.

Things have been nice and crazy around here, as usual.  I finished up work last week, and spent the weekend on a FABULOUS retreat.  I'm getting ready to move back to Alabama at the end of this week, and I've barely started backing, so wish me luck!  Hopefully, I'll get to update again with more of my story before I leave.  Also, if anyone has any good "stuff" for me to post, I'd love to add it!  Just email me, anytime. 

April 7, 2000 - Not too much updating this time!  I added a bit more to my story, as well as putting up some of my so-called artwork.  Oh, and I also added a pictures page!  It's all over in My Corner, if you want to take a look.  There's also a new reason to love your body - keep them coming!!  Hopefully, I'll be able to add some more SOON!

March 4, 2000 - Wow, I FINALLY got around to doing some work around here!!  ;-)  I've added quite a bit of new stuff, too.  I started a section called My Corner, which will hold my poetry and some not-so-artistic artwork.  I also began telling the story of my struggle with eating disorders, self-injury, and depression.  It's not finished yet, but you can read what I have so far.  Please though, if you're easily triggered, be careful!

I also put up the section on meditation, as well as one on deep relaxation.  Finally, in the Inspiring Stuff section, there's a beautiful piece called "Please hear what I do not say."  I wish I could take credit for writing it, but I know I at least identify with it.

That's about it for this time around!  I'll be submitting the site to some more webrings and search engines, so hopefully we'll see some more traffic.  Oh, and something kinda cool...my scale is now living in my trunk!!  I wasn't quite ready to get rid of it completely, but it's a step in the right direction!!  :-D  Take care, all of you!

February 2, 2000 - Lots of exciting news this time; at least,  I think so!!  :-)  We've broken the 100 visitors mark and been added to the awesome Unbinding the Body Betrayed webring.  We've also received our first award!!  You can find it and the new webring link at the bottom of the page.  Take a look at her site, too - it's beautiful.

Other than that, the only new update is the Safe Place exercise in the Things to Try section.  The play is coming SOON, so I've been working all day and rehearsing all night!!  When it's over, I should have more time to add new stuff, so please bear with me!

January 28, 2000 - Well, not too much of an update this time!  I added a new exercise to the Things to Try section called Touchstones.  It should be a lot of fun - at least, I enjoyed it!  My life has been pretty hectic lately, with play rehearsals and starting a new job.  But I'm enjoying it, so I suppose that's all that counts!
