challenge.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Fitness, Weight Loss, workout on January 19, 2016
i’ve learned something about myself in the last two days. i may work in my house, and i may have said in the past that getting 10,000 steps a day in my house on a regular basis is impossible. but throw a little friendly competition in my face, and all of a sudden…i can hit 14,000 […]
what a year.

this year, i almost lost my marriage. then i lived a miracle. i watched my child gain independence. and i watched her choose to lose it for a time. i lost 7 pounds. gained back 9. i heard my babies love each other. i watched them fight. we had plenty for a while. and then we had […]

i have spent the past three years doing constant research. from the time Joe and i got married, i felt something change in my body. i was 39. when i started gaining weight that i couldn’t explain (because nothing changed–not my nutrition, not my workouts, not my stress level), people kept saying to me, “you’re just […]
to process pain.

i’m sitting here on my couch at 3:00 in the afternoon, fully aware of what i’m supposed to be doing. fully intentional about not doing it. you know, this seems like the only time i actually post: when i’m avoiding something i know i need to get done. i guess, however, after looking back over all […]
mother’s day.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Joe, Kids, Life, Reflection on May 11, 2015
i got the most amazing mother’s day gifts yesterday. and the ones that were my favorites didn’t cost a dime. not a cent, actually. and i have never received more amazing gifts. from anyone. one will be hard-pressed to give me anything more priceless from this point forward. oh, sure, they gave me a gluten-free savory baker […]
the silly.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Kids, Life, Reflection on April 22, 2015
you know what i love? i love the silly. the pure, unadulterated joy that bursts out of the ability to freely laugh. living squarely in the moment. abandoning any inhibition. free of judgment. void of criticism. with full knowledge that the people who surround you and who you love completely embrace the silly–and display it–right along with you. i […]
laser focus

the vague terms in which i keep speaking here really bother me. apparently, however, they’re all i’ve got to work with. well, that and cakes. loads and loads and loads of cakes. it’s funny how in the depths of all the crap i’m dealing with in important areas of my life, i think back to 3 weeks […]
figuring it out.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection on April 4, 2015
i saw this posted the other day, and it got me thinking. i’m sure the thoughtfulness had something to do with the fact that “we’ll figure it out” has been something of a hated family motto over the past seven or eight years, and that, recently, it has renewed vigor. and actually, more than getting […]
all i can do
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, God, Kids, Life, Marriage, Reflection, Ugh. on February 21, 2015
i was slammed this week with several things i just can’t handle. and, you know, i’ve been slammed with a lot of things in my life i was pretty sure i couldn’t handle. none of them even came close to this week. not one. i sat in that counselor’s office on two different occasions and simply […]
