Here’s what you can expect on this blog: total honesty. It’s one of my curses…oops, I mean best characteristics. I’m afraid I’m just not very good at hiding the truth. I’ve often been asked in interviews if it is difficult talking about certain things so publicly. I mean, let’s face it. It’s not too often that you’ll hear a Christian recording artist confess to having questions about prayer, feeling lonely as a single woman, or fighting a 20-plus year food addiction. But here is what I have learned since being in the limelight: there are a lot of people on this journey with me. They have questions just like I do. I think there are enough people wearing masks and pretending they have it all together. As far as weight is concerned, the last thing I wanna see is some stick thin girl on Oprah telling me how great she feels now that she’s lost the 15 lbs. and giving me the secret to her success. Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t turn down in invitation to Oprah (call me girl!), but I have a whole lot more to lose than 15 lbs. And I figure that we can do it together. Are you with me?
I have to confess, I was partially inspired to create this blog after returning home a few hours ago from the movie theater where I saw Julie & Julia. Excellent movie! Best I’ve seen in a long time! (I only deduct points for a handful of language including one F-bomb. There are also a couple of sensual innuendos but nowhere near what many movies tend to celebrate). And I am willing to go on record by saying that Meryl Streep is perhaps the best living actress in the world. I laughed. I cried. I left hungry.
So thanks for swinging by! I invite you to join in on the fun! I love hearing from you. Talk to you soon!
