Talking about talking

I don't know what to give you. I'm not sure how to plug in and tug up all the bile, thoughts, truths and realities of the last few weeks. Life has been spinning as it's want to do. There have been moments of lovely, road blocks, missing trains, sledge hammers of crazy, good, bad and ugly. All mixed in with summer heat, trying to stay on my feet, and yes starting DBT. 

It amazes me to see Borderline grow. I want to share the map, tell the tales. I feel like I'm skipping out, holding back and just running away.  I plan to make a scheduled over the next few days for when I'll be posting up dates. 

Currently planned post are: 

  • 350 Pounds of Fun (or My Body, My Way)
  • The World Outside My Bedroom (or Fields of Green) 
  • Dates for One (or Maybe/Sometimes Happy) 
  • DBT + Therapy: Including homework, the diary card and other twisted things. 
  • After Math (or scraps of paper that still linger in my backpack) 
  • Leveling up: Finishing at NAIT and plans for the future. 
  • Book Reviews on (in no order)
