Compared to Him: Helping Son With Body Image
Women are beasts at this comparison game. We can mentally assess our rank in a room full of women in seconds. And we do it reflexively. It takes mental effort to stop this destructive habit now that I see it for what it really is. So, I'm not surprised at how hard...
The Sisterhood of the Skinny Pants: Keeping Clothes that Don’t Fit
This is the story of a pair of pants. Shorts, really. They weren't anything spectacular, just a basic khaki Bermuda. They were the perfect style to wear in the minivan grocery store dashes necessary for grabbing the 3 or 7 odd items I'd inevitably left off my list,...
Beauty and the Beast, Rachel and Leah
You might be wondering what in the world Beauty and the Beast has in common with marriage and a lady from the Bible. I did too, until the last few days. I have started a book study on Heather Creekmore's book Compared To Who and by the second chapter I am upset. Not...

Four Things to Do When You Want to Quit
Today I decided to eat potato chips and chocolate chips (it's a great combination if you've never tried it) and sit in front of the television watching the Great British Baking Show on Netflix. Sounds productive, right? But, honestly, I feel like there's probably...
Walking Through Exercise Bondage
Recently, I've started walking. And I love it. To many, walking is an everyday occurrence; something that gets them from point A to B; something that is (for most) a basic human action. As a fairly active individual who loves her runs, it is rather ironic that just a...
Do Highlights and Make-up Make Me Less Spiritual?
It was just a little chat between friends: Kids, new slow cooker recipes, books we were plowing through, and the omnipresent Florida heat were the usual topics of conversation. Oh. And the little detail that I was garage-selling most of my household items, packing up...
I’m Too Fat
Today is the final installment in the series "Real Women. Real Stories." Each of the women featured in the past two weeks took part in the making of the video trailer for the book, Compared to Who? Each has a real story of battling lies about their value and worth and...
