I have been a member of this website for awhile…life has gotten in the way…things have happened to me and to my loved ones…  I have chosen the butterfly as my theme because that is how I feel about myself at this moment.  I am a caterpillar struggling in my cocoon desperately wanting to be free to fly.  I read a quote not too long ago that went like this…  “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending…it became a butterfly”  That struck a particular chord within me because in the the last year or so I have often found that I felt like the world was ending.  I am grateful to say that so far it has not…and I am here to talk about it!  I don’t know what this blog is going to be yet…I don’t know what I am half the time.  But I needed and wanted a place that I could just be free to say whatever I needed to about food and emotional eating…about the struggle with hormones and depression and struggling to find myself and all the other things that my mind tends to obsess over and bore the hell out of family and friends. :)  And, I don’t know all of you who might run across this but I welcome you…and I thank you for stopping by!
