Im not supposed to write this post…

by

So, you know, lets keep it just between us. The problem is, in a way I havent felt in a few weeks, I feel called to write it. I have to write the story whether I share it or not. And, being the misfit I am, Ive grown too excited not to share. Allow me to back up. When last I over-blathered my 'not supposed to share' Id returned to saying: You're just not a priority right ...

Im a TOUGH GIRL…

by

skirt sports skirt lover. Once upon a time I was a misfit living in the LOVERLY HOTHOT CLIMES OF Austin. I adored it --- but there were stuffs I coveted which were simply too hot to wear in the ATX. As in this:   Id hear friends rave about the Tough Girl Skirt. I knew in order to ever wear one in TX Id have to turn the A/C down down down & romp around the ... Continue Reading

PLAYout: scooter as exercise.

by

I know you may be tired of my saying this---Ren Man sure is---but it's freakin cold here. I anticipated "MizFit is cold" weather. I know my FAVE temp is around 87 & sunny, I stalked the weather before we moved and saw it was consistently in the 50s. Cool but doable. And then I learned it's 50s in the same way my beloved Pittsburgh is in the 50s: 30s in in the morning, damp, windy, ... Continue Reading

by

  This parenthood thing---like this LIFE THING---can sometimes feel like a crapshoot. Im sill working at forty three to try and FIND and LIVE my passions---how on *earth* do I expect the Tornado to find and *stick with* hers at age six. Last year we tried soccer. It went okĀ but not great.Ā  Id estimate she spent more time doing that kid-thing where they move their arms FAST yet ... Continue Reading

Standing on my head changed my life.

by

  About fifteen years ago a woman I'd just met "introduced" me to a man whom she adored. This man's teachings, she insisted, contained all the wisdom we needed to live a happy, content, fulfilled life. Im embarrassed to say I never delved too deeply into the brain of the man she admired. I skimmed a few books and went along my misfit way. I found him insightful. I thought him ... Continue Reading
