Miracles Miracles and evidence of God’s love are everywhere if we only choose to see them. I’m so fortunate to attend a wonderful church where miracles aren’t so uncommon. We see people come to Christ just about every Sunday, and many times its people who felt a strong unexplained pull to try us out that…

Blog Down
Blog Down Very recently I went to write another blog post and watched in horror when my wordpress login didn’t show up and was replaced with a free domain parking site that had my aboutdodie.com domain on it. What? What’s this? So I head over to my Go Daddy page and hurriedly click to where…
Morning Ride Success
This morning I decided to try to ride my bike to see if it would even be possible to ride in the Rolling Hills Challenge organized bike ride. My foot doctor said I could ride my bike, so I wanted to test that out. The steroid cortisone torture shot from yesterday was my biggest concern…
Everything Comes to an End
For the past few weeks I’ve been silent and haven’t posted anything. This is mostly because I failed miserably with the sugar detox challenge and was feeling really guilty. I’m accountable for my actions, especially by posting this in my blog, and I didn’t want to face the music. All I had to do was…
Confession
It’s been a few weeks since my last confession and I really don’t know where to start. My attempt to refrain from eating sugar these last few weeks has been an insane uphill battle and an epic fail. Actually I was doing fine until the inventory weekend at my work. I work at a pipe…
Sugar Rehab

SDC- Week Three
During my third week of my Sugar Detox Challenge I came to a few startling discoveries. I did successfully get through the week (Monday – Friday) without eating any sweets. I even resisted a pile of cookies (chocolate chip included) that were sitting in one of our departments. Later on I saw one of those…
Sugar Detox Challenge
The first step to getting better is to admit you have a problem. I have become a sugar-aholic. There, I said it. I’m not really sure when this took place I just know that it has taken over my life. Back in the day I used to not eat cookies, cakes or candy during the…
Cheese and Me
Cheese and Me Most people when they get stressed like to either drink or eat chocolate. Me? I eat cheese. I guess it started a couple of years ago and was influenced by a friend I used to go out to eat with. I’ve never really been a stress eater, probably because I used to…
Fogo de Chao
Fogo de Chao, the restaurant where people lose their minds over delicious meat that melts in your mouth and never stops coming until you say stop. But do you have the willpower to say stop? If you haven’t been there it deserves one visit in your lifetime. I’ve been twice now and failed the test…
